Movie Summary
editThis movie's characters are the toys of a boy named Andy,and takes place for their point of view. The movie starts where Woody, the toy's leader who is making an announcement to the toys about moving day, and ends up finding out about Andy's birthday party being on the same day. Everybody, even the toys, know that birthday partys mean gifts for the birthday boy, and everyone goes into panic, thinking that the new toys that might come in the decorated pakages will replace them. Woody, whom "has been Andy's favorite since kindergarden," is not in panic, but sends an army of those little green plastic solders to use a baby monitor to tell what each gift turns out to be. Most are board games, and after the second-to-last package is announsed, Woody turns the monitor off, and are left unawear of the Buzz Lightyear space-toy on it's way up to Andy's room.
Buzz Lightyear has the idea that he's the real deal, his cardboard space-ship shaped box is his crashed space-ship, and that his special features actually work. He soon wins over the rest of Andy's toys, as well as Andy himself. When Andy's mom tells him he must choose one toy to take to the local pizza place/arcade, "Pizza Planet" Andy automaticlly chooses Buzz, so Woody desides to bump him behind the dresser. However, Woody shoves a little to far and sends Buzz "flying" out the window, and tries to rescue him.
The two, after some almost unbelieveable escapades, wind up in "Pizza Planet," but Buzz mistakes a grabby-hand for a spaceship, and drags he and Woody inside. Unfortunatlly, Sid, the neighborhood bully famous for torturing toys, winds up at the controls, and Buzz and Woody wind up being caught. The only good news about this is that Sid lives next door to Andy, so the other toys could help him get home before moving day - if they didn't have the impression that Woody murdered their beloved Buzz!
