If you're into The Walt Disney's Toy Story 3 animated film as much as I am then you know that the hero of all these movies is Andy's Best toy doll Woody. Woody of course is the beloved pull string Cowboy sheriff doll that was one of Andy's very first toys. He's been around longer than Buzz Lightyear and he's considered the leader of Andy's Room, usually sitting on top of Andy's headboard. Let to share with you some insights I have about the woody character and hopefully some interesting facts you may not have known before.
As soon as you see Sheriff Woody on screen you also get to hear him talk. And that voice is none other than the talented Actor Tom Hanks. Tom is a very accomplished actor and no actor I know of is better suited to play the voice of Sheriff Woody than he. Hist tone, pitch, tempo, voice inflections and so forth really bring the animated cells (or rather the computer animation) to Life. It takes some real talent on Mr. Hanks part to add such realistic human dimension to Woody in this flick. Woody is a passionate Guy and Tom is passionate too. That's why Tom and Woody are a perfect match
Being a western American cowboy is perhaps one of the most recognized Hollywood characters ever throughout the world. More people worldwide love American Western movies than any other type of American Movie. So when Disney and Pixar decided that the lead character of Toy Story was to be a cowboy doll, they were really thinking. As a kid growing up in the Midwest I think myself and EVERY boy in my neighborhood played the roll of cowboy. When I saw the first Toy Story movie I think that virtually every male in that theatre related instantly to the Woody character. It's story planning like this that makes Disney movies so popular.
The character name of Woody was actually named in honor of the late actor Woody Strode, who was a cowboy actor that co-starred in many of the famous John Wayne Western Movies. His real name is Woodrow Wilson Woolwine Strode. He played Pompey in one of my favorite John Ford Weterns "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance"
