Description: Woody and Buzz Lightyear are now co-leaders of Andy’s toys. As Andy prepares to take Woody to cowboy camp, he accidentally rips Woody’s arm during playtime and decides to leave him on the shelf. While there, Woody encounters Wheezy, a toy penguin forgotten by Andy after his squeaker broke. When Andy’s mother puts Wheezy up for sale, Woody saves him but is then stolen by a greedy toy collector named Al McWhiggin. Buzz tries to rescue Woody but fails, though he finds two crucial clues: a feather from a chicken suit and the license plate of the car, which help the toys identify the kidnapper.
At Al’s apartment, Woody meets Jessie the cowgirl, Bullseye the horse, and Stinky Pete the Prospector—toys based on characters from “Woody’s Roundup,” a popular 1950s TV show. Woody learns they are set to be sold to a museum in Japan. Despite wanting to return to Andy, Woody’s decision to stay with the group is influenced by Jessie’s fear of being abandoned, as she was once discarded by her owner, Emily.
Meanwhile, Buzz, with help from Slinky Dog, Mr. Potato Head, Rex, and Hamm, sets out to rescue Woody. They locate Al’s toy barn, where Buzz is captured by a new Buzz Lightyear action figure who believes he’s a real space ranger. The rescue mission continues as Woody faces the dilemma of returning to Andy or staying with the Roundup gang.
