[@coolnerdlll6053]

I would totally watch a Woody's Roundup movie in the style of Lightyear. I know a lot of people didn't like that movie, but I thought it was okay, and this would probably be the best way of continuing the franchise since 4 had a definitive ending.

I liked it until the third act. The time traveling buzz being zurg was nonsense. First two acts were really enjoyable though.

[@TheEerieMaster]

I actually said this exact same thing when I saw previews for Lightyear. but I think that since Lightyear had such a rough time at the box office, I don't think they're interested in doing anything else for a while😶

Yeah this is at least the second time they did this.

[@sadhbhcorr942]

Yes I do. It was one of their first theories that I ever watched.

[@sadhbhcorr942]

I love this theory because it fits the character of Woody so well. It proves that he is a non-violent, responsible and confident who tries to keep the peace any way he can. And no, Ben, Woody didn't intentionally knock Buzz out the window. He tried to trap him behind Andy's desk. And even Woody does some not-so-nice things in Toy Story 1, he definitely comes of age in the film. He puts Buzz's needs before his own and he teaches Sid a lesson in a non-violent (albeit childhood-mauling) way.

[@DrRank]

Personal theory as to the gun Jessie fires: It belonged to Woody in the show, but was only used for the pilot, in which Woody first adopts the Gunless Law philosophy. But that's just me.

[@pantalonesdemuerto7960]

That makes sense. Either that or an outside firm was hired to handle the merchandise and they said 'he's a sheriff, probably has a gun' and ran with it.

[@Gr3nadgr3gory]

A gunless lawman is about as useful as a dead lawman.

[@divinechild_creativerebellion]

That sounds awesome, it also lines up with the Woodys Roundup comics on the Toy story 2 Bonus disk kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGTFfYetmppgmbs

[@amandamakin1542]

We lost so many legends to 2022 😢

[@SgtSupaman]

If this is like the short, I have to reiterate that Woody is pretty violently angry in the first movie and never seems to intentionally choose a less-violent path. He just tends to use stealth and tricks to achieve his ends. Though that may only be due to the fact that his opponents are pretty much always either humans or bigger/stronger toys.

[@SgtSupaman]

Yep, this video did come to the same basic conclusion as the short, though y'all did address Woody's obvious lack of hesitance toward violence in the first movie. I don't think he really changed all that much over the course of the rest of the movies, though. As I said, his opponents were ones that he couldn't win against in a violent confrontation, so he used his smarts to beat them. There's nothing particularly noble about adjusting strategies to beat someone in a different way when you already know violence will fail.

[@magica3526]

could've waited 10 minutes to make this comment?

[@IceBot360G]

Sure thats true but the woody we know isn’t the same person as the woody from woody’s round up and because he had never come into contact with the show as a toy before the second film it could be possible that wood didn’t end up with the same personality as he has in the show

[@SgtSupaman]

@@IceBot360G , that's a good point, but it seems like the personality they are based on (if one exists) is biologically(?) programmed into them. Buzz didn't know about any shows or movies about him, but he, and every other Buzz toy, already know all about Star Command and Zurg, and they all act the same way. Perhaps this Woody, having been in Andy's family so long, simply diverged far enough from his original personality by accepting his job as a toy (like how Andy's Buzz differs from the other Buzz toys).

[@IceBot360G]

@@SgtSupaman yeah that’s what I was assuming

[@blakdeth]

If this theory is true, the reason that a gun toy exists in the line up at all is because it's a 60s franchise. Before the 80s a lot of toy designs were repurposed for various things. There was a tin star trek toy gun that was the same design as other older toy guns, just with a layer of paint to look spacey. Whatever toy company had the license for woody's roundup probably knew the very basics of the show and said "he's a cowboy, use one of our gun toys and put his name on the box"

[@DJofSparta]

This is what I thought when I saw that toy gun. Since it's just a solid orange color it reminded me of those toy gun sets with a pistol, darts, and a target that all look the same other than some custom branding on the blister pack cardboard.

[@lasercraft32]

So basically, Woody is a character who enforces the law without the use of a gun... but Woody _the toy,_ who knew nothing of the original Woody from the show, gets played with like a stereotypical cowboy which inevitably means using a gun. He adopted that from Andy's playstyle. The "Reach for the sky" thing is probably his catchphrase specifically _because_ he doesn't use a gun.

[@tolkienism3806]

[@rayoffishes1224]

in a 1995 Woody doll from thinkway toys, the toy description at the back of the box states that Andy had lost the gun resulting in an empty holster, don't think that this is an accurate reason but is interesting to note none the less

[@generay6498]

I always thought of woody as an Andy Griffith type character. He is a sheriff but he chose not to carry a gun.

[@calliemyersbuchanan6458]

omg that makes buzz the totally delusional and overzealous Barney character then! 🤣 It actually fits!

[@Pattern51lover]

Exactly my thoughts

[@dcbandit]

While the idea of a Lighyear movie is cool, at least before we got it, I think I'd be even more hyped for a Woody movie, like an in universe film based on the old tv show or something, not important, but I think it would be awesome to watch a movie like that!

[@GubbiGap]

That would be so cool! Imagine a modern movie in black and white with old school puppets and stuff! It would be so unique and I'm sure Pixar could pull off something awesome with that!

[@Semibucket]

Reason I think Woody's hostler is empty is because A: toy story is meant for kids and for older people but they thought if guns were present inside the movie it would possibly give kids the wrong and potentially harmful idea, Or B: Woody did have a gun and Andy lost it or was lost before the toy was given or handed down to Andy.

[@dragondude9637]

Most likely B, because lots of toys come with easily losable peices.

[@dud_of_man]

wrong, it was so he could have somewhere to hold the match but still have his hands free

[@makaylahaverluk667]

As soon as I saw the thumbnail I immediately thought of Andy Griffith. I can't believe you actually mentioned it though! I genuinely love that show.

[@RyanHaney55]

I lost the guns for my GI Joes when I was a kid, but that was OK, because I used the action figures to reenact sports plays. I could see Woody's gun going missing. But, any collector would freak out if it was missing, so it probably wasn't missing.

[@chrisrae2238]

I've been waiting for an Andy Griffith Show mention, I've always assumed it was a similar situation in Toy Story

[@Its_Just_Passmore]

The 1995 original woody doll released the packaging on the back that says "A traditional Pull string cowboy doll who misplaced his handgun long ago."

[@dragon44048]

I thought it be like a choking hazard little tiny gun, young kid gets a toy in some swallowing it chokes to death so they just don’t include it

[@Euanplushstudios]

If you actually watched the video you’d know why that isn’t the case

[@matthewmatthew981]

Plot twist: Bullseye owns the gun. That's why he's called Bullseye, because he's the gang's best marksman.

[@shaydshani]

I'm going to speculate that the gun belonged to another planned character that was going to be in the show before it was cancelled. If you look at the gun right before Jessie shoots it there's the word cowboy on it. So there's a missing cowboy probably turned gunslinger character from the Woody's Roundup show that they at least made a prototype gun for. Maybe they planned to make him Woody's brother or someone that was the town's unofficial law keeper before he went bad? Woody didn't want to have the townsfolk afraid of him so he practices law without a gun but wears a holster to remind the bad guys that he doesn't wear a gun by choice. He could but he chooses not and instead uses his wit against them. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@toonman5099]

Another comparison I'm surprised you didn't mention: The story of "A Christmas Carol." Specifically the character, the Ghost of Christmas Present. He carries a scabbard, but no sword.

[@JosephDavies]

If I were to bet on anything, betting on the fact that the creators of the original film watched a lot of Andy Griffith growing up would be an easy one to make. Whether this was a conscious choice or not I don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if they incorporated this philosophy as a direct result of Andy's influence.

[@ZOMBIEHEADSHOTKILLER]

the "top shelf splat", to me, sounds like a plunger noise, with a springy sheet metal, like people do with hand saws, or similar things, with touch of some wood, like when you spring a nail file on the edge of a table.

[@Mon-W]

One theory is that it could be in the first pilot episode he originally had a gun, but it was scrapped after work

[@mellow3995]

[@just_an_internet_explorer8038]

Maybe Al already had the gun. Let me explain. Toys Irl can come with accessories for other figures in that same toy line. Since each character from the round up gang came with one accessory, maybe Bullseye came with Woody’s gun. Woody = removable Hat Jessie = removable Hat The Prospecter = pickaxe Bullseye = his rider’s gun

[@shadowwolf2564]

And he could have known it would be easy to loose so maybe Al had in a safe place so he would not loose it

[@TheOnlyDrFilm]

0:51 I briefly scrolled past a video the other day that revealed this detail, and it was quite shocking. Anyway, this whole topic was a bit of a roller coaster, but you successfully found the answer.

[@JennaGetsCreative]

I'm conflicted on whether or not I buy this theory. On one hand, as you guys pointed out, one of the Woody's Roundup merch items is a toy gun. No other character has a holster, not even Pete. I also just went and watched the TV show footage from Toy Story 2 and the official extended Woody's Roundup theme song music video. He's the "rootin'est, tootin'est, shootin'est." He's shootin'. On the other hand, even in that TV series footage from TS2, the holster is empty. And Al wasn't worried about it.

[@mrpaintwolf2010]

i could have swore iv seen this theory before....maybe some updated information, style, quotes, ect. but i genuinely swear iv seen this before

[@frankstine1012]

I never thought nothing of it as a kid because I remember always loosing the cool extras that came with toys.

[@lillordakira9752]

Back when I was a kid carrying around my own woody like Andy, most people kept pointing out and questioning me why woody doesn't have a gun like I worked on the movie.

[@blakethebeast3174]

Immediately thought of Andy Taylor before the quote popped up, always thought that Woody was a combination of Andy and Barney from The Andy Griffith Show.

[@ShockwaveFPSStudios]

Maybe Woody was based on early concept art of the character he’s based on. Toys based on tv shows tend to look nothing like the original character or just looks different. I mean look at the Batman Returns toys, the Penguins looks like Danny Devito.

[@shoshonnie7796]

Moral of the story: you don’t need a gun to be a good cop.

[@wombataldebaran9686]

My first thought was that the original network of the Woody show in-universe did not want to feature a good guy with a gun (or maybe no guns at all) due to strict moral rules in children's entertainment show production of the time. My headcanon is that that still applies, but the makers of the tv show made a virtue out of a production restriction and gave Woody the "does not like guns" character trait.

[@mollychankawaii]

The Toy Story 3 video game was such good fun. I cannot believe it came out in 2010 though, man I feel old. 😂

[@oliverpony]

[@trapez77]

I feel like showing only the feet of the humans was an artistic choice because it gives a better perspective of what it’s like through the eyes of the toys. It wasn’t a limitation.

[@JosephDavies]

It's an artistic choice that was made from a very specific limitation. Many aspects of the film work really well in tandem due to the choices made. That's a big part of why it's held up.

[@brianklingenfus7755]

Andy’s Woody has been well-loved for years! 😂

[@bramnet]

Just writing this up because it's the first time I noticed it. In the shot in Toy Story 2 at around 2:55, you can see from the Life magazine cover that Woody, on the show, didn't have a gun in his holster either. This might have been an in-universe decision since it was a show made in the 50s for kids. Just a guess, I haven't finished watching the video yet.

[@rubyll919]

This simple yet complicated case only makes sense if the toy gun we saw in Toy Story 2 that Jessie used is actually part of a different brand of toys that is just… there in Al’s apartment.

[@timothybexon6171]

This was my initial assumption when you pointed it out. Long video to confirm my own idea. But great to see my own idea of Woody appears to be confirmed in universe.

[@cripplious]

I think woody is based on Roy Rogers who had a horse named Trigger and a dog named Bullet. He had a leading lady Dale Evans. Or Gene Autry who owned the LA Angels.

[@SlimGod2662]

That actually makes ALOT of sense, I had always wondering why he had an empty gun holster

Fire-foot lol i love the joke, a small but genuine laugh, thank you Ben.

[@bluewinterwolf]

Even Mr. Patato Head has a Green Gun 🔫 9:42, he's basically a British police officer 😆

[@dustylens2137]

(I also watched the earlier video, unsure I commented at the time.) Carrying an empty holster wouldn't be very smart. I think Andy Taylor didn't carry one, though he let Barney carry an empty gun, which is even worse. My first thought when I began watching the earlier video was that the Woody doll would have been sold with a kid-sized toy gun -- the kid would have Woody's gun; Woody wouldn't. But the footage of the marionettes goes against that idea. I think Jessie is a trick shooter (like Annie Oakley), so she _should_ have a gun. And Bullseye is Jessie's horse, isn't he, hence the name? Would the Jessie and Bullseye dolls have been sold together?

As you have said... Woody comes from the 1950s, and the makers may have omitted the gun for reasons like: it's a small chokeable object that can be easily be lost. And it's a long time ago, so accessories like that would be impossible to locate. Maybe Andy's father has it???

[@Lugbzurg]

Funny. I was just watching the original version of this video the other day. Nice to see some updates that flesh out the ideas and provide smoother transitions from one thought to another. I can't help but think that the real explanation is just mundane serendipity. It seems probable that no one at Pixar gave it much thought at all; that there was a rough censorship deal in gun-depiction for a kids' movie, and it was someone in the game-development team who looked at the material and came up with a clever explanation after the fact. I mean... the fact that Woody doesn't even have a HOLSTER in some of the memorabilia does seem to imply they really didn't think about it that much, and the "Gunless Law" was a happy accident that materialized later down the line.

My original theory is that he used to but left it behind in the "show" in an older episode that we don't see (we're only shown the final episode, and it was cancelled on a cliffhanger in universe).

I feel like u could totally write a creepypasta about living toys from the POV of an adult SID and it would be awesome

[@SamButler22]

Talk about Sid's psychological damage all you want, but the dude looks pretty happy in TS3 and is on a decently well paid career path at just 22

[@TheScrowlingFender7]

That's why he became a garbage collector. So that he can rescue discarded toys find new homes for them, like what Woody in the 4th film.

Andy Taylor is the sheriff. Andy Griffith is the actor.

Is this a re-release because I swear I’ve seen this video from you guys a long time ago..

[@brendanp5498]

Didn't you post a video on this exact topic with the same conclusion about the gunless law card like years ago?

[@bubbalyde8862]

Y'all had a video on this awhile back didn't you? I swear this was a thing already on here🤔 I definitely forgot the reason was "gunless law" but I know I remember a holster video..am I crazy?

[@bdhhsgbyddhggg]

Buzz: Hey Woody, I’ve always wondered… why do you have a holster? Woody: *I have a holster?*

I absolutely love The Andy Griffith Show.
