Plot
The film starts when a bright six-year-old boy named Andy Davis playing with his toys, such as a Mr. Potato Head toy, a plastic dinosaur toy named Rex, and his favorite toy Woody, a cowboy doll. He takes Woody into the living room and plays with him some more, with a short interruption talking to his mom about his birthday party later that day and the upcoming move to a new house. After playing with Woody, Andy starts helping his mother by carrying his baby sister Molly to her. While he's away, all of the toys come to life. Woody wakes up finding out that Andy's birthday party is today and then calls his fellow toys to a staff meeting. The meeting begins with Woody asking if each of the toys has picked a moving buddy just to be prepared for the move for one week. He then informs the toys that Andy's birthday party has been moved to today, causing the toys to get very anxious about whether they get replaced or not. Woody claims that it only matters that he and his fellow toys are here for Andy. Hamm interrupts the staff meeting telling the other toys that Andy's birthday guests have arrived. Out the window, they see the guests carrying Andy's birthday presents, still worried about getting replaced.

Woody sends Sarge and his team of plastic soldiers downstairs with a baby monitor to report on the presents Andy receives. Andy receives a Buzz Lightyear action figure, which he drops in his room. Woody and the rest of the toys greet Buzz, who shows off his many features like a laser light and wings (while deluded, thinking he's actually a Space Ranger), making Woody feel jealous. This is intensified further when Andy begins playing with Buzz even more.

Sometime later, Ms. Davis takes Andy and Molly on a trip to the space-themed Pizza Planet restaurant. Andy asks if he can bring any toys, and she agrees to let him take one. Woody, knowing Andy will choose Buzz, plans to trap him in a gap behind Andy's desk by using RC so Andy won't find him and will have to take Woody instead, but the plan goes badly wrong when Woody accidentally knocks Buzz out the window. When the other toys, including Mr. Potato Head, learn of Woody's actions, most of them (except Bo and Slinky) think Woody tried to kill Buzz out of jealousy. They then try to attack him, but Woody is rescued when Andy, who is unable to find Buzz, decides to take Woody on the trip instead.

At a stop at a Dinoco gas station to refuel the car, Woody after pondering how he's going to convince the toys that the whole thing was an accident finds that Buzz grabbed ahold of the family's minivan and is with them. After a conversation, the two toys begin to fight, knocking each other out of the minivan, and are left behind when it drives away. The two then have a heated argument underneath a Peterbilt, and after briefly lashing out at the deluded space ranger, Woody convinces Buzz to hitch a lift on a Pizza Planet Truck in order to return to Andy.

Still thinking he's a real space ranger, Buzz believes that Pizza Planet is a spaceport. He climbs into a toy crane game, thinking that it's a spaceship that will take him to Emperor Zurg's location. Woody, knowing that he can't return to Andy's room without Buzz, goes in after him, but the two are eventually found by Sid Phillips, who lives next door to Andy and is known to torture and destroy toys just for fun.

Left alone in Sid's room, Woody and Buzz come upon a group of mis-matched toys, the results of Sid's many experiments. Woody and Buzz react in fear, thinking that the mismatched toys are man-eating cannibals. Meanwhile, at Andy's house, the toys continue to look for Buzz in the bushes. But when Andy and his mother come home, Andy notices that Woody's gone. The other toys wonder what has become of the two. Some are worried for both Buzz and Woody, while others express their hope that Woody has met a bad end. The next morning, at Sid's house, Sid first torturing Buzz by spinning him on a drill bit until he breaks off and flies out of sight. Sid also notices Woody under a milk crate, and starts to interrogate him, using his pull-string, then he burns Woody's forehead with a magnifying glass and starts to interrogate him again, but his mom calls him that his pop tarts are ready. As Sid goes down stairs, Woody got his forehead burned and rans into the cereal bowl, then Buzz pulls the two suction cup darts out on his helmet and back. As Woody looks the spoon as the mirror while he hope this isn't permanent, he sees the open door out to the hallway (despite Buzz claiming that they don't know what's outside), but they are stopped by the mutant toys, prompting Buzz to activate his laser, but nothing happens. As Buzz ponders what is wrong with his laser, Woody suddenly grabs Buzz as a hostage and pushes a large button on Buzz's back, making Buzz's arm chop up and down repeatedly to fend off the mutant toys and make their way out the door, despite Buzz telling him to stop. As Woody tries to retreat up the stairs after being stopped by Sid's vicious dog Scud sleeping at the bottom of the stairs, Buzz grabs him, covering Woody's mouth, and warns Woody that another stunt like what Woody has done may lead to their deaths. As they walk across the hallway, they accidentally wake up Scud. Buzz darts into a dark room while Woody hides in a closet, and Scud follows the former, but retreats when he sees Mr. Phillips sleeping on a La-Z-Boy.

Soon, Buzz hears a voice calling for him. Thinking he can finally rendezvous with Star Command, Buzz opens his wrist communicator, but he realizes that the voice is actually coming from a TV, in which a commercial advertising Buzz Lightyear toys available at Al's Toy Barn is playing. From that commercial (as well as a "MADE IN TAIWAN" message inscribed on the lid of his wrist communicator), Buzz has discovered, for the first time, he is a toy, much to his dismay. Dejected, he walks out of the room and down the corridors, then catches sight of a window above the stairs. Despite Woody's voice echoing in his mind "You are a toy! You can't fly!", he nevertheless tries his final attempt at proving he is a Space Ranger by opening his wings and jumping from the top of the stairs, aiming toward the window, only to fall to the bottom of the stairs and sever his left arm in the process, finally realizing that Woody was right all along. He is found by Sid's younger sister Hannah, who takes him away to put him in her tea party.

Woody finally finds Buzz in Hannah's room, disguised as Mrs. Nesbitt and attending a tea party. While Woody formulates a plan of escape, Buzz is too depressed to care. When Woody throws a string of Christmas lights across the way to the toys in Andy's room, Buzz refuses to back him up; Woody tries to use Buzz's detached arm in a desperate attempt to convince Andy's toys that Buzz is with him, but when they see through this act, they take it as evidence that Woody truly did murder Buzz and leave him in disgust for his duplicity. The Mutant Toys then return and swarm over Buzz, and Woody finds that they have repaired him and reconnected his arm. However, before Woody can make friends with them, Sid returns with his new acquisition, a firework rocket. He decides to blow up Woody with it, but cannot find him as Woody hides in a milk crate. Sid then decides to launch Buzz into space instead but is stymied by rainfall. He unknowingly traps Woody in the crate by putting a heavy toolbox on top, and plans to go ahead in the morning.

Overnight, Woody tries to get Buzz to help him remove the toolbox that's trapping him, but all Buzz can do at this point is blankly stare back. Woody then gets angry with Buzz at this point, putting the blame on him for getting strapped to the rocket for not hiding. Afterwards, Buzz continues to ignore him. Woody tries to move the milk crate himself, but only ends up making the lid of the toolbox snap shut, which almost wakes Sid up (the sequence was later used when Buzz pushed the toolbox onto the ground). Hopeless, Woody attempts to give Buzz an apology. Still depressed, Buzz pessimistically confesses that he is only a "stupid, little, insignificant" toy. Woody tries to convince him that being a toy is much better than being a Space Ranger, and Andy still thinks he's the best thing in the world. Buzz doesn't know why Andy would want him, and Woody explains while coming to terms with his own feelings of resentment:

"Why would Andy want you? Look at you! You're a Buzz Lightyear. Any other toy would give up his moving parts just to be you. You've got wings, you glow in the dark, you talk, your helmet does that... that whoosh thing. You are a cool toy... as a matter of fact, you're too cool. I mean--I mean what chance does a toy like me have against a Buzz Lightyear action figure? [...] Why would Andy ever wanna play with me, when he's got you? I'm the one that should be strapped to that rocket..."

As this happens, Buzz looks at his boot where Andy has signed his name, helping him realize how much Andy loves him and how being a toy isn't too bad. So even as a hopeless Woody tells Buzz to go on without him, save himself and get back to Andy (And it seems that he did at first), a reinvigorated Buzz helps Woody out of the crate. The two try to escape (although Buzz accidentally knocks the toolbox on Woody when trying to get the milk crate off of him). Unfortunately, Sid wakes up and takes Buzz out to blow him up, leaving Woody alone in the room. Even worse, Andy and his family are getting ready to move, with Andy depressed over having to have seemingly lost Woody and Buzz having only been able to find Buzz's cardboard spaceship and his cowboy hat. Desperate, Woody calls out to the Mutant Toys to help him, although it seemed they weren't willing to help him after Woody attacked them. Just when Woody was about to lose hope, Babyface convinces the Mutant Toys to help Woody as he tells him his plan, thanking them in the process.

After a daring escape through the house and past Scud, Woody and the mutants end up in the yard with Sid. After getting into positions, Woody starts of the plan by speaking to him through his voice box just before Sid comes close to lighting the rocket, proceeding to tell him that his toys are sick of being tortured, breaking the rules as they allow Sid to see that they can move on their own, then with his own voice, Woody tells him (in a Kevin Conroy Batman-esque way) to play nice. This freaks Sid out and he runs into the house screaming, where his sister frightens him with her new doll Sally, a possible replacement for her original doll Janie, which was destroyed by Sid.

Now freed from Sid, Woody and Buzz try to catch Andy's moving van just as it is pulling away from the house. After saying farewell to the Mutant Toys, a harrowing chase follows, with Scud chasing them (And getting Woody's seams on his arm to pop) and Andy's toys not helping, since they still think that Woody intentionally killed both Buzz and RC. Luckily, Woody and Buzz trap Scud and the other toys finally see that Woody was telling the truth and realized their mistake. Unfortunately, RC's batteries run out, requiring Woody to light the rocket still strapped to Buzz. At first, Woody tries to use the match Sid stuck in his holster, but the car that nearly ran over Woody during the chase passes by them, blowing out the match. Just as Woody and Buzz accept defeat, Woody uses Buzz's helmet to light the rocket. As they hurtle forward, Woody drops RC into the van as they fly over, but not before hitting Mr. Potato Head. Just when it seems they would be destroyed by the rocket, Buzz activates his wings to sever the tape just before the rocket explodes. Buzz and Woody glide over the van and drop into Andy's car through the skylight. Woody and Buzz return to Andy, whose mom assumes they were in the car all along.

A few months later, at Christmas in Andy's new house, Sarge and the soldiers are reporting the new presents received, similar to the birthday party, with the toys less worried about the new ones from now on. Mr. Potato Head is pleased to find out that Molly has been given a Mrs. Potato Head. The film ends with Woody and Buzz discussing being replaced by a new toy like Woody was almost replaced by Buzz, Woody poses the question to Buzz, "What could Andy possibly get that is worse than you?", and with the answer coming in the form of Andy's first present, a puppy which makes Woody and Buzz feel quite uneasy, given their experience with Scud.
