In August 2009, Toy Story 3 director, Lee Unkrich, stated in his Twitter feed that Woody's last name is Pride and has been since the making of the original movie. Woody is named after Woody Strode, a character actor known for many roles in western films. Woody was designed by Bud Luckey, and is based on John Lasseter's Casper pull-string doll he had as a kid, as well as the Howdy Doody puppets from the 1950s show. His facial features are based on the former Disney animator Tone Thyne. Woody was created by directors and writers John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, Pete Docter, and Joe Ranft. Tom Hanks' brother, Jim Hanks, voices him in Lamp Life, video games, attractions, and other merchandise. He is primarily voiced by Tom Hanks, who voices him in the Toy Story films, short films, and TV specials. In the films, Woody is the main protagonist, alongside Buzz Lightyear. Sheriff Woody Pride is a fictional pull-string cowboy doll who appears in the Disney– Pixar Toy Story franchise.
