Toy Story is a children's movie, adding that background to the movie would have been too deep for a child to understand so I kind of see why it wasn't in the movie. If it was added in there then it would have changed the whole vibe of the movie, but it is cool to know the backstory of Woody.

[@lapisgaming6093]

There's a movie that is meant for children that had a similar experience that being onwards. I think it would've been fine. They don't have to get really depressing with it but imply the situation would still have the same effect, like in up.

[@TemporaryTemporary-y2j]

Sometimes I feel that there may be some writers that may not go that deep while writing for films and then they read all those fan-made theories from people with especially active imaginations and when asked about the underlying truth behind a theory, they "reveal" that it had been planned all along and is in fact cannon. Everyone is then in awe of the little "nuances" and the person who actually came up with the theory, and the writer who took credit for that (would that fall under some form of plagiarism?), and the fans who bought into it are all happy.

[@jennythapamagar7914]

Lucky little bastard possibly having Tom Hanks as a farther

[@Max_Toons]

My theory: Andy’s dad was young when Woody’s Roundup was popular, and he got a Woody doll, but when the show was cancelled due to the rise of the Lightyear movie, the company that made Woody’s Roundup stopped selling merchandise, including Woody dolls. The same thing (I think) also applies to Emily, just while Woody’s Roundup was popular.

[@ryo92254]

Not everything needs a back story. Better as is. His own choice of favourite toy. His own attachment to the toy.

And yet Andy gave his favorite toy away. Worst decision ever. In the next movie Bonnie doesn’t care about woody. She rather a spork as a toy. That’s low and a slap to the fans faces.

[@anthonysaldana6707]

It does explain it in Toy story two when Woody was watching the old movies of his episodes. You can see Andy’s father, grabbing Woody and hugging him when the song my friend plays. You can tell it’s old because the films are black-and-white.

[@DaGames247]

No wonder woody sings you got a friend in me .... That means his dads spirit is in woody that's why he loves Andy so much

[@ENESjustgaming]

@Disney @Pixar We all need this in a movie

[@ilevel007]

I read that it was the grandfather's toy first. The grandfather is likely to have been a child during the launch of Sputnik. The second movie points out that the age of sci fi and space toys soared after that, and Woody's show and merchandise became less popular. The grandfather gave it to Andy's father, then Andy's father gave it to him. I also heard that the dad died from something else soon after Molly was born. The polio vaccine came out in the 50s. Andy and Molly grew up in the 90s. There was a vast improvement on the knowledge and handling of polio by then.

Polio does not Reoccur, you catch it and it messes up your legs and if it Progress far enough in can Paralyze you and kill you. My Dad had Polio as a Child and it really messed up his legs my Dad would have been a foot and a half taller if he hadn’t caught Polio as a Child. My Dad’s Ankles are so small and weak he has to have Boots 🥾 with a hard backing on them so his Ankles don’t give out on him. There is Post Polio Syndrome but this happens years later to not very many people as little as 15% of Polio Survivors get Post Polio Syndrome so it’s very Rare. There aren’t many people left who lived through the first Polio Pandemic, my Dad is 84 years old right now and just last June got Diagnosed with Dementia and Alzheimers so he can’t remember that he ever had Polio as a child anymore, it used to be all he ever talked about was how his own Mother had to hold him down while so called Doctors piled Wet Sandbags on top of my Dad as a child and Shocked him Repeatedly thinking they were helping my Dad but they were making things worse and mentally scaring my Dad for life, my Dad still has Nightmares about those Horrible Days of his Childhood but all I can do is get him his Heating Pad and Comfort him when he gets upset and cries late at night. I’ve also had a very hard life myself with my own Medical Conditions being Immunocompromised and Developed Mentally Disabled is very hard because I’m so good and some things like taking things apart and putting them back together but ask me a Math Question and I Fumble all over the place trying to get an answer for you.

Kind of explains why woody and the round up gang is so old, from the show it looks like woody and the gang have been around since the 60s being that woodys show is all in black and white and the toys used for that show were puppets then doll like toys. So this does make sense how Andy managed to get an old toy like woody in the first place. It just never made sense to me on how Andy got his hands on a collectible toy from a time that didn’t even have colored TV
