In Toy Story (1995), which actor provided the voice of Woody?

Tom Hanks provided the voice of Woody in Toy Story (1995), Pixar’s first feature-length computer-animated film.

Woody is Andy’s pull-string cowboy doll and the leader of the toys. His position is challenged when Andy receives Buzz Lightyear, a space-themed action figure voiced by Tim Allen. The relationship between Woody and Buzz drives the film’s central story about jealousy, loyalty, and friendship.

Hanks recorded Woody’s dialogue separately from the other actors, as is common in animated productions. His performance helped give the character a grounded, conversational personality, balancing the film’s visual novelty with an emotionally recognizable protagonist.

Toy Story was directed by John Lasseter and released by Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar. Hanks returned as Woody in the film’s sequels, making the character one of his most recognizable voice roles. Tim Allen, not Hanks, voiced Buzz Lightyear.
