Things shift into high gear when an obsessive toy collector kidnaps Woody - who hasn't the slightest clue that he is a greatly valued collectible. It's now up to Buzz Lightyear and the gang from Andy's room -- Mr. Potato Head, Slinky Dog, Rex, and Hamm - to spring into action and save their pal from winding up a museum piece.
