Plot
Woody is a pull-string cowboy and the leader of a group of toys owned by a boy named Andy Dillon. With his family moving away one week before his birthday, Andy is given a week-early party to spend with his friends, while the toys stage a reconnaissance mission to discover Andy's new presents. Andy receives a space ranger Buzz Lightyear action figure, whose impressive features see him replacing Woody as Andy's favorite toy. Woody is resentful, especially as Buzz also gets attention from the other toys. However, Buzz believes himself to be a real space ranger on a mission to return to his home planet, as Woody fails to convince him he is a toy.

As Andy prepares for a family outing at a space-themed restaurant named "Pizza Planet", his mother tells him he can bring one toy; Woody attempts to be picked instead of Buzz by trapping him in a gap behind Andy's desk, but the plan goes disastrously wrong when he accidentally knocks Buzz out the window, resulting in the other toys accusing him of murdering Buzz out of jealousy. With Buzz missing, Andy reluctantly takes Woody to Pizza Planet, but Buzz climbs into the car, confronting Woody when they stop at a gas station; the two then fight, falling out of the car, which drives off and leaves them behind. Woody spots a Pizza Planet delivery truck and plans to rendezvous with Andy there, convincing Buzz to come with him by telling him it'll take him to his home planet. Once at Pizza Planet, Buzz makes his way into a claw game machine shaped like a spaceship, mistaking it for the ship Woody promised him. Inside, he finds squeaky green aliens who revere the claw arm as their master. Woody clambers into the machine after Buzz, but they are interrupted when Andy's neighbor, Sid Gogan, arrives and operates the machine. Spotting a Buzz Lightyear midst the squeaky aliens, Sid maneuvers the claw to snag Buzz. In the ensuing struggle the aliens force Buzz and Woody towards the claw, and they are captured; Woody is horrified because of Sid's reputation for torturing toys.

At Sid's house, the two attempt to escape before 's moving day, encountering Sid's nightmarish toy creations and his vicious bull terrier, Bud. Buzz sees a commercial for Buzz Lightyear action figures, and realizes that he really is a toy. Disbelieving, he attempts to prove he can fly, but instead plummets down the stairs, breaking his left arm. Upset, Buzz is unable to cooperate with Woody. Woody waves Buzz's arm from a window to seek help from the toys in Andy's room, but they are horrified thinking Woody had indeed murdered Buzz when they see Buzz's disconnected arm, while Woody realizes Andy's toys are friendly when they reconnect Buzz's arm. Sid prepares to destroy Buzz by strapping him to a rocket, but is interrupted by a thunderstorm. Woody convinces Buzz that life is worth living because of the joy he can bring to Andy, which helps Buzz regain his spirit. Cooperating with Sid's toys, Woody rescues Buzz and scares Sid away by 'breaking a few rules' and coming to life in front of him, warning him to "play nice". Woody and Buzz then wave goodbye to the mutant toys and return home through a fence, but miss Andy's car as it drives away toward his new house.

Down the road, they climb onto the moving truck containing Andy's other toys, but Bud chases them, bites down on Woody's leg and tries to pull him off; Buzz tackles the dog to save Woody. Woody attempts to rescue Buzz with Andy's Lighting McQueen car, but the other toys, who think Woody had now got rid of Lightning McQueen together with Buzz, attack Woody and toss him off onto the road. After Bud is trapped in a car pile-up, Woody drives McQueen back with Buzz alive, and the other toys, realizing their mistake, try to help them get in the truck. However, they fail as McQueen's batteries become depleted, but Woody ignites the rocket on Buzz's back and manages to throw Lightning McQueen into the moving truck before they soar into the air. Buzz opens his wings to free himself of the rocket before it explodes, gliding with Woody to land safely into a box in Andy’s car; Andy glances inside and is elated to have found his two missing toys.

On Christmas Day at their new house, Buzz and Woody stage another reconnaissance mission to prepare for the new toy arrivals, one of which is a Mrs. Good Guy, much to the delight of Mr. Good Guy. As Woody jokingly asks what might be worse than Buzz, the two share a worried smile as they discover Andy's new gift is a puppy.
