Turns out, Woody is an incredibly rare and valuable toy that's part of a larger set consisting of Jessie the Cowgirl, Bullseye his noble steed, and Stinky Pete the Prospector ( Kelsey Grammer). In Toy Story 2, Woody suffers an injury and is unable to play with Andy, and ends up stolen by the owner of Al's Toy Barn ( Wayne Knight). So now the franchise seemed over, apart from the mostly unconnected spin-off Lightyear (2022), which did little to impress audiences and critics alike. Those fears proved to be unfounded as Toy Story 4 was a fantastic epilogue that gave explored the character of Woody in a way the franchise had never before. That's why many were perplexed by the release of Toy Story 4 (2019), with the pre-release consensus being the last film ended so perfectly and didn't warrant a sequel. With the toys now ready to live a happy life with a new owner, it seemed like Toy Story 3 spelled the definitive end of the long-running franchise, with Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the gang finding their happy ending.
Those heart-tugging moments were doubled down on in the third installment, Toy Story 3 (2010), which concluded the original trilogy in spectacular fashion with a film so good that it even received a Best Picture Academy Award nomination. Considered by many to be one of the best-animated sequels ever made, the second installment in the Toy Story franchise introduced even more fan-favorite characters like Jessie the Yodeling Cowgirl ( Joan Cusack), and it delivered a much more emotional storyline. Pixar wasn't done pushing the envelope just yet, however, as they outdid themselves with Toy Story 2 (1999), a sensational sequel that is just as good if not better than the original.
