Toy Story

FADE IN:

INT. ANDY'S BEDROOM

A row of moving boxes lie on the floor of the room. They

are drawn up in crayon to look like a miniature Western town.

The bedroom is lined with cloud wallpaper giving the

impression of sky.

One of the boxes has a children's illustrated "WANTED"

poster of a Mr. Potato Head taped to it.

A MR. POTATO HEAD DOLL is set in front of the poster. The

VOICE OVER of ANDY, a 6-year-old boy, can be heard acting

out all the voices of the scene.

ANDY (AS POTATO HEAD)

Alright everyone, this is a stick-

up! Don't anybody move! Now empty

that safe!

A GROUP OF TOYS have been crowded together in front of the

"BANK" box.

Andy's hand lowers a CERAMIC PIGGY BANK in front of Mr.

Potato Head and shakes out a pile of coins to the floor. Mr.

Potato Head kisses the coins.

ANDY (AS POTATO HEAD)

Ooh! Money. Money. Money.

(kissing noises)

A porcelain figurine of the shepherdess, BO PEEP, is brought

into the scene.

ANDY (AS BO PEEP)

Stop it! Stop it, you mean old

potato!

ANDY (AS POTATO HEAD)

Quiet Bo Peep, or your sheep get

run over!

The companion porcelain sheep are placed in the center of a

Hot Wheels track loop.

ANDY (AS SHEEP)

Heeeeelp! BAAAAA! Heeeelp us!

ANDY (AS BO PEEP)

Oh, no! Not my sheep! Somebody do

something!

WOODY, a pull-string doll cowboy, enters into the scene

opposite the inanimate spud.

Andy's hand pulls on the ring in the center of Woody's back.

WOODY (VOICE BOX)

Reach for the sky.

ANDY (AS POTATO HEAD)

Oh, no! Sheriff Woody!!

ANDY (AS WOODY)

I'm here to stop you, One-Eyed Bart.

Andy's hand pulls out one of Mr. Potato Head's eyes.

ANDY (AS POTATO HEAD)

Doooooh! How'd you know it was me!

ANDY (AS WOODY)

Are you gonna come quietly?

ANDY (AS POTATO HEAD)

You can't touch me Sheriff! I

brought my attack dog with a built-

in force field!

Andy places a TOY DOG, with a SLINKY for a mid-section, in

front of Mr. Potato Head and stretches him out.

ANDY (AS WOODY)

Well I brought my DINOSAUR, who

eats force field dogs!!

Andy reveals a PLASTIC TYRANNOSAURUS REX, who stomps on the

Slinky Dog.

ANDY (AS DINOSAUR)

AAAAR! ROAR-ROAR-ROAR!

ANDY (AS SLINKY DOG)

YIPE! YIPE-YIPE-YIPE!

ANDY (AS WOODY)

You're goin' to jail, Bart.

Andy picks up Mr. Potato Head and places him in a baby crib

in the room.

A cardboard sign is taped to the bars with the word "JAIL"

written in crayon.

ANDY (AS WOODY)

Say good-bye to the wife and

tatertots.

Andy's 1-year-old sister, MOLLY, crawls over and picks up Mr.

Potato Head. She sucks on him for a beat then proceeds to

pound the toy repeatedly against the rail of her crib,

forcing some of his parts loose.

Andy, wearing a cowboy hat himself, picks up Woody off the

floor.

ANDY:

(pulling Woody's string)

You saved the day again, Woody.

WOODY (VOICE BOX)

You're my favorite deputy.

BEGIN TITLES:

Toy Story.

SONG "YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND IN ME" plays while Andy does

various activities with Woody:

-- Andy turns the Western town boxes around to reveal cows

drawn on the other side. He grabs a jump rope and pretends

Woody is lassoing the cattle.

ANDY:

C'mon, let's wrangle up the cattle.

-- Andy then rides Woody around on an RC (remote control)

car, and herds the remaining "cow" boxes under Molly's crib.

INT. STAIRWELL

-- Andy places Woody on the top of the stairwell banister

allowing the doll to slide downstairs. Andy races ahead and

catches him at the bottom.

INT. DOWNSTAIRS LIVING ROOM

-- Andy & Woody fall into the La-Z-Boy chair and spin around

and around.

Next, Andy uses the La-Z-Boy foot rest as a catapult.

Andy flings Woody across the room to the sofa.

ANDY:

(raising his arms)

Score!

SONG ENDS:

Woody lies limp on the sofa while Andy is heard talking to

his mother.

ANDY (O.S.)

Wow! Cool!

MRS. DAVIS (O.S.)

Whadda ya think?

ANDY (O.S.)

Oh, this looks GREAT, Mom!

ANGLE:
THE ADJOINING DINING ROOM

MRS. DAVIS, Andy's thirty eight-year-old mom, has just

finished decorating the area with streamers and balloons. A

banner is draped across the archway. It reads: "Happy

Birthday Andy."

Woody's frozen face stares in the direction of the birthday

decorations.

ANDY:

Can we leave this up 'til we move?

MRS. DAVIS

Well, sure, we can leave it up.

ANDY:

Yeah!

MRS. DAVIS

Now go get Molly. Your friends are

going to be here any minute.

ANDY:

Okay.

Andy picks up Woody from the couch and runs upstairs.

ANDY:

It's party time, Woody!

INT. ANDY'S BEDROOM - CONTINUOUS

Andy and Woody enter the room. Molly is still banging

Potato Head against her crib railing. Andy tips Woody's hat

at her.

ANDY:

Howdy, Little Lady!

He deposits Woody on the bed and pulls his string one last

time.

WOODY (VOICE BOX)

Somebody's poisoned the waterhole.

ANDY:

(picking up Molly)

C'mon, Molly. Oh, you're getting

heavy!

(to Woody)

See ya later, Woody.

Andy exits.

END TITLES:

Woody's eyes come to life. The cowboy doll sits up, his

expression changing from a smile to worry.

WOODY:

(to himself)

Pull my string! The birthday

party's today?!

Woody thinks.

Gary:

Yes The Birthday

WOODY:

(to the room)

Okay, everybody. Coast is clear.

The bedroom comes alive. TOYS emerge from the toy box, the

closet, the shelves, etc... in a flurry of activity.

POTATO HEAD, his body parts strewn across the floor, sits

himself upright and begins to re-assemble himself.

MR. POTATO HEAD

Ages three and up. It's on my box.

Ages three and up! I'm not

supposed to be babysitting Princess

Drool.
