This nearly led to Toy Story being canceled after a Black Friday viewing.
This choice in characterization for Woody had been forced upon Pixar by then-Disney Chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg due to the latter wanting more of an adult, cynical, edginess to the story, resulting in Woody becoming jealous, sarcastic, narcissistic, belligerent, cynical, and mean toward Buzz and the other toys.
He also proceeded to heavily insult the toys, especially Slinky, during this time, which resulted in all of them turning on him and attempting to throw him out. One notable example of this from the original script is that Woody actually throws Buzz out the window on purpose, and doesn't care one bit about what had happened or what the other toys thought of the incident, even saying in a casual tone that it was a "toy-eat-toy world" when accused of doing so. In the original story pitch of Toy Story, Woody had a markedly more distasteful personality having the character of one who had let his role as "leader" go to his head and had little compassion towards his peers. As their dependable leader, he ensures that no toy gets left behind." Development As the toys venture into their unknown future, Woody remains the voice of reason. Even though his owner is now grown, the loyal sheriff Woody maintains a steadfast belief that Andy still cares about his toys.
