4. According to the synopsis of Toy Story, fill in the following chart:

Title Toy Story

PlaceAndy Davis's room

Main characters Andy, Sheriff Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Rex,Slinky Dog, Mr. Potato Head, Betty, Jam,

Marciano.

Main problem

In Toy Story specifically, the looming

problem is that the moving van is getting

away while Woody’s options for reuniting

with Andy are becoming increasingly

slimmer. When RC Car’s batteries run

out, Woody tries to light the rocket with

the match. When the match fails, he uses

Buzz’s helmet as a magnifying glass tolight it. The rocket strategy almost

doesn’t work either, but just as disaster

seems imminent, Woody’s final option is

to trust someone else to be in charge for

once (when Buzz uses his wings to let

them “fall with style” back to Andy)

Compare Woody and Buzz Lightyear

-Woody is young Andy’s favorite toy.

However, he feels replaced when Andy

brings in a new action figure, Buzz

Lightyear.

- While both toys are heroic figures, Buzz

has more flashiness to his appearance than

Woody.

-Buzz Lightyear has wings with blinking

lights, a glowing “laser beam” that comes

out of his wrist. Woody on the other hand,

has a cowboy badge, a hat, and a pull

string attached to his back that causes him

to utter his catch phrases.
