1995
Woody the cowboy has always been Andy's favorite toy, until a flashy space ranger named Buzz Lightyear arrives on Andy's birthday. When their rivalry leaves both of them lost in the outside world, they have to work together to get home before the family moves.
The default: films the whole family can watch together; any scary or intense moments for the littlest viewers are flagged in the Context Notes.
Why it’s here
A jealous favorite and a deluded newcomer both learn humility and become true friends. It's an imaginative, funny picture of loyalty.
Context notes
For parents, before you press play.
Sid's mutilated toys and rough treatment of toys can frighten little ones. Woody's jealousy of Buzz causes a near-disaster, and he repents and rescues him, which is a good talk about envy; mild insults like "shut up" and "idiot."
