But Woody’s world is turned upside down when Buzz Lightyear (voiced by Tim Allen), a flashy space ranger action figure, arrives as Andy’s new favorite toy. Buzz is confident that he is a real space ranger, not realizing that he’s just a toy, and he quickly wins the admiration of Andy and the other toys.
As Woody becomes jealous of Buzz’s popularity, a series of misadventures unfold, causing Woody and Buzz to become stranded outside Andy’s house. They must put aside their rivalry and work together to find their way back before Andy moves to a new house.

Woody learns that he was once the star of the show and that he is part of a valuable collector’s set.

They fear being forgotten or discarded, as Andy has outgrown his toys.
When the toys are mistakenly donated to a local daycare center, they quickly realize that this new environment is not what it seems. The daycare is run by a group of toys led by Lotso (short for Lots-o’-Huggin’ Bear, voiced by Ned Beatty), a seemingly sweet teddy bear who turns out to be a cruel and manipulative tyrant.

His purpose as a protector and leader of the toys now seems unclear.
When Bonnie creates a new toy out of a spork, Forky (voiced by Tony Hale), Woody takes it upon himself to help Forky understand his role as a toy, as Forky doesn’t see himself as one and tries to escape Bonnie’s room. During a family trip, Woody, Forky, Buzz (voiced by Tim Allen), and the other toys end up in a carnival, where they run into Bo Peep (voiced by Annie Potts), who has been living independently after being separated from the toys.
Bo Peep has grown into a brave and self-sufficient toy who no longer wants to belong to a child, and her independent lifestyle challenges Woody’s traditional views about his role as a toy.
