Disney's new Lightyear film had everyone returning to their childhood adventures. Toy Story fills its ensemble with relatable characters and classic toys that have passed through everyone's life at one time or another. Each toy represents a childhood memory as well as an adult fear. If Lightyear has you wanting to remise or brush up on the original cast, here are all the Toy Story toys, explained.

Sheriff Woody (Tom Hanks)

Sheriff Woody holds a special place in Andy's heart, because Woody originally belonged to Andy's father. In Toy Story 2, viewers learn that Woody is a special and rare toy, furthering his irreplaceable value. Andy even wanted to take Woody off to college with him, even after deciding to donate his other toys. As a sheriff, Woody naturally assumed a leadership role in keeping everything in Andy's room under control.

Other toys often come to Woody when something goes wrong or when they need help. Voiced by Tom Hanks, Woody is incredibly loyal both to Andy and to his fellow toys. Throughout the Toy Story franchise, Woody grew from the rigid and jealous leader into a flexible and humble toy. As the star of all four movies, Woody's character arc is one of the most important and one of the best.

Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen)

Although he is not always the sharpest tool in the toy chest, Buzz Lightyear has one of the bravest hearts. Kids love this toy for his light up buttons, flying powers, and catchphrase. When Buzz first comes to Andy's room, Buzz thinks he is a real space ranger. Over time, Buzz grows past his naivety (the subject of many jokes throughout the franchise) and become the fearless leader in Toy Story 4. Buzz Lightyear also becomes Woody's best friend, even thought the two got off to a rocky start in the first film. While Tim Allen voiced Buzz throughout the Toy Story movies, Chris Evans plays him in Lightyear.

Bo Peep (Annie Potts)

Bo Peep lights up both Andy's younger sister's room and Sheriff Woody's heart. When Woody needs emotional support or help, he often relies on Bo's calm presence and outside perspective. Although Bo seems docile in the first two films, Toy Story 4 brings out her other strengths. Bo Peep is an adventurer with a strong sense of right and wrong. She helps other toys adapt to new lifestyles and find joy in unfortunate circumstances.

Jessie the Cowgirl (Joan Cusack)

Jessie came from the same toy set as Sheriff Woody, and she brings one of the most heartbreaking and emotionally stirring backstories to this list. Jessie got lost at park, and her owner replaced her before she made it home. After meeting Woody, Jessie slowly opened herself back up, and eventually even fell in love with another toy in Andy's room.

Bullseye

No horse has ever been more loyal to his cowboy than Bullseye. He willingly takes Woody on dangerous adventures without complaint. With the mannerisms and personality of a puppy, Bullseye brings a lot of playful energy to Andy's Toy room. Bullseye cannot talk the same way that the other toys do, but he manages to say a lot with his facial expression and body language. He is a perfect example of actions speaking louder than words

Hamm (John Ratzenberger)

Andy's piggy bank not only holds the spare change, but also some of the films' wittiest jokes. Hamm might be one of Andy's smartest toys with a practical and sometimes pessimistic take on reality. As such he never hesitates to share his honest opinion. If only every piggy bank came with such a critical eye, we might all be more financially secure.

Mr. Potato Head (Don Rickles)

Mr. Potato Head's moving body parts makes him one of the most versatile toys in Andy's toy box. Andy often removes one of Potato Head's eyes and makes Mr. and Mrs. Potato head play the villains in the toy room (one-eyed Bart). Even though Mr. Potato head has the cynicism of a villain, his heart is as good as the rest of the toys on this list. The character is voiced by the hilarious Don Rickles, who did an incredible job.

Rex (Wallace Shawn)

Ironically, Andy's biggest and toothiest toy is the biggest scaredy-cat. This Tyranosuarus Rex struggles with anxiety even during simple tasks on a daily basis. More than anything, Rex fears being replaced and not being played with, just like any toy (and maybe just like any person). Even though his panic attacks can delay the other toys, Rex always overcomes his fears in time to help his friends. Especially after her meets Trixie, another dinosaur in Bonnie's toy room. The great actor Wallace Shawn is endlessly endearing here.

Slink in Toy Story
Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures

Although this slinky dog only has a small supporting role in the movies, we still love Slink's loyalty and helpful attitude. Especially in the first two films, Slink was one of Woody's biggest Allies, taking Woody's side in disagreements and taking on small jobs without being asked. In many ways Slink acts as Woody's right-hand man by assembling meetings and keeping track of other logistics in the toy room. His unique springy body comes in handy on many of the toy's adventures as well as his attention to detail. Jim Varney played Slink in the first two films, but after his unfortuante passing, he was replaced by his friend Blake Clark.
