Guide Mentor

Character Role Analysis

Woody & Buzz

There's no big Gandalf-like character in this movie, but Woody and Buzz do act like mentors for each other.

Woody shows Buzz what being a toy is all about (even though Buzz refuses to admit he's a toy). And Buzz, without really knowing it, helps Woody to finally express what he's feeling and to befriend the one toy he can't stand.

We'd say these guys really need each other.
