“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!

Superman , a pull-string doll cowboy, enters into the scene
opposite the inanimate spud.

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

Superman (VOICE BOX)
Reach for the sky.

ANDY (AS POTATO HEAD)
Oh, no! Sheriff Superman !!

ANDY (AS Superman )
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 Superman )
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 Superman )
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 Superman )
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 Superman )
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 Superman off the
floor.

ANDY
(pulling Superman ‘s string)
You saved the day again, Superman .

Superman (VOICE BOX)
You’re my favorite deputy.

BEGIN TITLES

SONG “YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND IN ME” plays while Andy does
various activities with Superman :

– Andy turns the Western town boxes around to reveal cows
drawn on the other side. He grabs a jump rope and pretends
Superman is lassoing the cattle.

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

– Andy then rides Superman around on an RC (remote control)
car, and herds the remaining “cow” boxes under Molly's crib.

INT. STAIRWELL

– Andy places Superman 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 & Superman 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 Superman across the room to the sofa.

ANDY
(raising his arms)
Score!

SONG ENDS

Superman 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.”

Superman ‘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 Superman from the couch and runs upstairs.

ANDY
It's party time, Superman !

INT. ANDY'S BEDROOM - CONTINUOUS

Andy and Superman enter the room. Molly is still banging
Potato Head against her crib railing. Andy tips Superman ‘s hat
at her.

ANDY
Howdy, Little Lady!

He deposits Superman on the bed and pulls his string one last
time.

Superman (VOICE BOX)
Somebody’s poisoned the waterhole.

ANDY
(picking up Molly)
C'mon, Molly. Oh, you're getting
heavy!
(to Superman )
See ya later, Superman .

Andy exits.

END TITLES

Superman ‘s eyes come to life. The cowboy doll sits up, his
expression changing from a smile to worry.

Superman
(to himself)
Pull my string! The birthday
party’s today?!

Superman thinks.

Superman
(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.

HAMM, the piggy bank, flips one last penny into his coin
slot. Potato Head walks up to him. All his facial pieces
are in the wrong slots.

MR. POTATO HEAD
Hey, Hamm! Look! I'm Picasso!
HAMM
I don't get it.

Hamm walks away.

MR. POTATO HEAD
You uncultured swine!
(to someone O.S.)
What are you looking at, ya hockey
puck?!

Potato Head walks past, revealing a hockey puck figurine.

Superman sits on the edge of the bed observing all the activity.
He turns to a plastic green army man, SARGENT, standing on
the night stand.

Superman
Uh, hey Sarge, have you seen Slinky?

SARGENT
(saluting)
Sir! No Sir!

Superman
Okay, thank you. At ease.

Superman hops off the bed.

Superman
Hey, Slinky?

SLINKY (O.S.)
Right here, Superman !

A toy Slinky dog, SLINKY, appears from under the bed pushing
out a checker board set. He begins to place the checkers on
the board.

SLINKY
I'm red this time.

Superman
No, Slink –

SLINKY
Oh…well alright, you can be red
if you want.

Superman
Not now, Slink. I've got some bad
news.

SLINKY
Bad news?!

Superman
Sh-h-h-h-h!!

Superman covers up Slinky's mouth, aware that the other toys in
the room are watching. He leans in close to Slinky.

Superman
(whispering)
Just gather everyone up for a staff
meeting and be happy!!

SLINKY
Got it.

Slinky shuffles off.

Superman
Be HAPPY!

Slinky perks up his gait and LAUGHS HARD.

Superman proceeds in the other direction. He passes a toy
ROBOT and SNAKE partially hidden under the bedspread.

Superman
(to the room)
Staff meeting, everybody.
(aside)
Snake, Robot – podium duty.

Robot and Snake come out from under the bed and reluctantly
follow Superman .

Superman walks past an Etch-A-Sketch, ETCH, going the other
direction.

Superman
Hey Etch! Draw!

Both Etch and Superman whip around like gunfighters.

Before Superman can fully extend his arm out, the Etch-A-Sketch
etches a gun on its screen.

Superman
(pretending to be shot)
Oh!! You got me again, Etch! You've
been working on that draw. Fastest
knobs in the west.

Slinky passes a group of toys on the floor.

SLINKY
Got a staff meeting, you guys, come
on, let's go!

Robot and Snake begin constructing a podium made out of
Legos and a Tinker Toy tub while Superman searches the floor.

Superman
Now where is that – ? Aw, hey,
who moved my doodle pad way over here?

Superman spots the doodle pad on the floor by the desk and
walks over to it. As he reaches down to pick it up…

REX, the plastic dinosaur, jumps out to scare Superman .

REX
ROOAAAARR!!!

Superman
(unaffected)
Oh, how ya doin', Rex?

Rex suddenly turns timid.

REX
Were you scared? Tell me honestly.

Superman
I was close to being scared that time.

Superman heads back to the podium. Rex follows.

REX
I'm going for fearsome here, but I
just don't feel it. I think I'm
just coming off as annoying.

A crook suddenly grabs Superman ‘s neck and jerks him towards BO
PEEP, the porcelain figurine.

Superman
(choking)
Aach! – Oh, hi, Bo.

BO PEEP
I wanted to thank you, Superman , for
saving my flock.

Superman
(blushing)
Oh, hey - it was nothing.

BO PEEP
Whadda ya say I get someone else to
watch the sheep tonight?

Superman
(very flustered)
Heh, heh…oh yeah, uh, I…

Bo saunters back towards her lamp stand, passing a stack of
ABC blocks.

BO PEEP
Remember, I’m just a couple of
blocks away.

Superman is left lovestruck.

All the rest of the toys in the room are filing past Slinky.

SLINKY
Come on, come on! Smaller toys up
front.

Superman remains lovestruck in the middle of the room.

SLINKY
Hey, Superman ! C'mon!

Superman snaps out of his trance and rushes over to the podium.

The toys crowd together as Superman steps up to the podium.
MIKE, a toy tape recorder, waddles up next to Superman and
indicates his microphone.

MIKE
Ahem!

Superman
(grabbing microphone)
Oh, thanks, Mike.
(to the crowd)
Okay –

SFX: FEEDBACK

Superman
(to Mike)
Oh, whoa, step back –

Mike waddles back a step to stop the feedback.

Superman
Hello? Check? Better? Great.
Everybody hear me? Up on the
shelf, can you hear me? Great!
Okay, first item today…oh, yeah.
Has everyone picked a moving buddy?

The toys all MOAN.

HAMM
Moving buddy?! You can't be serious!

REX
Well I didn't know we were supposed
to have one already.

MR. POTATO HEAD
(waving his arm out
its socket)
Do we have to hold hands?

The toys LAUGH and SNICKER.

Superman
Oh, yeah, you guys think this is a
big joke. We've only got one week
left before the move. I don't want
any toys left behind. A moving
buddy – if you don't have one, get
one!
(checking the pad)
Alright, next…uh…oh, yes.
Tuesday night's “Plastic Corrosion
Awareness” meeting was, I think, a
big success and we want to thank Mr.
Spell for putting that on for us.
Thank you, Mr. Spell.

The words “You're welcome” scroll across Mr. Spell's display
screen as he speaks.

MR. SPELL
You're welcome.

Superman
Ok, uh…oh yes. One minor note
here…
(under his breath)
Andy's birthday party's been moved
to today.
(full voice)
Next we have –

The toys all PANIC.

REX
What?! Whadda ya mean, the party's
today?! His birthday's not ‘til
next week!!

HAMM
What’s going on down there? Is Mom
losing her marbles?!

Superman
Well, obviously she wanted to have
the party before the move. I'm not
worried. You shouldn't be worried.

MR. POTATO HEAD
Of course Superman ain't worried!
He's been Andy's favorite since
kindergarten!

SLINKY
Hey, hey! Come on, Potato Head!
If Superman says it's all right, then,
well, darnit, it's good enough for
me. Superman has never steered us
wrong before.

While Slinky speaks, Potato Head takes off his mouth and
mimes kissing his own butt.

Superman
C'mon, guys! Every Christmas and
birthday we go through this.

REX
But what if Andy gets another
dinosaur? A mean one? I just
don't think I can take that kind of
rejection.

Superman
Hey, listen, no one's getting
replaced. This is Andy we're
talking about.

Superman steps down from the podium and walks towards the crowd.

Superman
(continued)
It doesn't matter how much we're
played with. What matters is that
we're here for Andy when he needs
us. That's what we're made for.
Right?
Everyone is now looking down, sheepish.

HAMM
Pardon me. I hate to break up the
staff meeting, but THEY'RE HERE!
Birthday guests at three o'clock!

Superman
Stay calm, everyone!!

Too late. The toys PANIC and stampede over Superman towards
the bedroom window, leaving him alone on the floor.

Superman
Uh, meeting adjourned.

The toys all crowd around the bedroom window, trying to get
a peek outside.

HAMM
Oh, boy. Will ya take a look at
all those presents?!

MR. POTATO HEAD
I can't see a thing!

Unable to see over the crowd, Potato Head pulls his eyes out
of his head and holds them up over the other toys.

ANGLE: TOY'S POV OF ANDY'S FRONT YARD

CHILDREN file towards the front door carrying presents.

HAMM
Yessir, we're next month's garage
sale fodder for sure.

REX
(panicked)
Any dinosaur-shaped ones?

HAMM
Ah, for crying out loud, they're
all in boxes, you idiot!

The presents keep coming.

REX
They're getting bigger.

SLINKY
Wait! There's a nice little one
over there!

At first, the kid's present appears to be a little box, but
then the kid turns – the present is four feet long. The
toys SCREAM.

MR. SPELL
Spell the word “trashcan.”

REX
We're doomed!

Down on the floor, Superman smacks his hand to his forehead in
surrender.

Superman
Alright! Alright!

The toys turn inside and look down at Superman .

Superman
(continued)
If I send out the troops, will you
all calm down?

REX
Yes! Yes! We promise!

Superman
Okay, save your batteries!

HAMM
Eh, very good, Superman . That's using
the old noodle.

Superman jumps up onto Andy's bed and turns to the Sargent on
the nightstand.

Superman
Sargent. Establish a recon post
downstairs. Code red. You know
what to do.

SARGENT
Yes SIR!

The green army man hops down to the floor where a “BUCKET O'
SOLDIERS” sits.

SARGENT
Alright men, you heard him. Code
Red! Repeat: We are at Code Red!
Recon plan Charlie. Execute!
Let's move move move!!

THE GREEN ARMY MEN file out of the bucket and march in
formation across the bedroom floor.
