Woody
Woody is the more interesting half of the pair, because he is the one with something to lose. The first film's plot is driven by his jealousy, and early production versions of the character were so unpleasant that Disney rejected an entire cut of the film — the story reels were screened, judged mean-spirited, and production was halted while the character was rewritten to be sympathetic.

Who is Woody?
Woody is the more interesting half of the pair, because he is the one with something to lose. The first film's plot is driven by his jealousy, and early production versions of the character were so unpleasant that Disney rejected an entire cut of the film — the story reels were screened, judged mean-spirited, and production was halted while the character was rewritten to be sympathetic. What survived is a protagonist whose anxiety about being replaced is genuine and never fully resolved, which is what makes the later films work: the whole series is about obsolescence, and Woody is the character it happens to. The design is a pull-string cowboy doll from a 1950s television show that no longer exists, which quietly dates him as a generation older than the toys around him.

The protagonist of the first fully computer-animated feature, and the character through which the Toy Story films examine obsolescence — an unusually sustained theme for a children's franchise.
What Woody looks like on a shirt
Signature motif: Yellow plaid shirt, cowhide waistcoat, brown hat and the pull string
The cowhide pattern and yellow plaid are the identifying textures, and the sheriff star is a clean standalone mark. Warm yellows and browns give designs a different feel from the primary-colour palettes elsewhere in this category.
