Andy used to play with toys as a child, his favorite being Woody. Eventually, Andy grew older and developed other interests, but he still cared about his toys. He ultimately gave them away to a girl named Bonnie Anderson, including his favorites, before leaving for college.
In Toy Story 3, Andy is now 17 years old (as said by Potato Head) and is now moving out to college as his slightly aged mother asks him what he will do with his toys.
Andy will return to the Toy Story franchise as a grown-up
And the family he's created during his time away from the toys will play an integral role in the film. This rumor is surprising as the franchise made it clear at the end of Toy Story 3 that Andy's story with Woody and the gang was done.
Synopsis. Andy Davis (voice: John Morris) is 17 years old, and is heading off to college in a few days. The fact that Andy has grown from a young boy to a teenager about to leave home has not been lost on his toys.
Summary. Toy Story 5 is confirmed, and Woody and Buzz will return, with the possibility of Andy making a comeback with his new family. Some fans reject the idea of Andy returning, as they believe Toy Story 3 served as a fitting farewell for the character.

Will Toy Story 5 have Woody?
Toy Story 5 was announced to happen in February 2023, with Tim Allen confirming his return as the voice of Buzz Lightyear and Pete Docter confirming in June 2023 that Woody will also return for this new adventure.
Andy is one of the foundational characters of the Toy Story franchise, with his relationship with Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the gang being at the heart of the franchise's first three films. However, the events of Toy Story 3 required Andy to not appear in Toy Story 4, with his absence really being felt.
He eventually finds him on the driveway. He is then seen in a few more flashbacks of him playing with his toys, and in another flashback of him as a teenager, giving his toys to Bonnie. Andy is probably still in college. Woody mentions Andy several times throughout the film.
Toy Story's protagonist, Woody, belonged to Andy's father first (indeed, Andy's mom calls Woody “an old family toy”). Andy's father was also named Andy—Andy Sr. —and he wrote his name on Woody's boot. The reason Woody is such a rare toy is because he's the only Woody doll that was ever made—just a prototype.
Andy, now 17 years old, is preparing to leave for college. He has not played with his toys for years, and only Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, Bullseye, Rex, Slinky, Hamm, Mr. and Mrs.
It's got some really cool stuff that you haven't seen before.” We're pretty sure we can expect some new toys, as each film has done before. Additionally, it's expected that Buzz and Woody will be reunited, though they bid goodbye to one another in Toy Story 4.
However, it never really translated to human characters, since, you know, people aren't made of plastic. When the idea of putting Andy in Toy Story 4 came along, it was clear that he needed to be changed to look more like an actual person.
A fan theory suggests that Boo from Monsters, Inc. grows up to be Andy's mom in Toy Story, but there are flaws in this theory. Pete Docter, Chief Creative Officer of Pixar, debunked the theory and explained that the Easter eggs in Pixar films are not meant to impact the storylines of other films.
Woody's choice to leave his old friends is more conscious than his choice to leave Andy. The latter was due to Andy growing up, something nobody could stop. Though Woody ultimately chose to leave Andy, it was something that would have inevitably happened someday, he just made sure it happened on his terms.
Toy Story 4 fills its runtime with questions of existentialism, not unlike the three films before it, but in its final moments, a purpose is determined and a course is presumably set: Woody, accepting that he'd rather explore the world with Bo Peep than be relegated to a closet by Bonnie, makes the decision to go ...
Woody was bound to get played with less and less by having a girl like her as his owner and as you could see in the movie, Bonnie liked playing with Jessie more than Woody for that reason. Not to mention her mind and imagination at the time was more interested in playing with Forky, a new toy she crafted herself.
Though Toy Story 4 concludes by showing an excited Woody ready to explore a new chapter in his life, this ending is not as happy as the final scene would lead fans to believe. Over the Toy Story franchise's decades-long run, the series has consistently defined the purpose of a toy.
Though initially tempted, Woody declines when they hear Andy trying to find him. Nine years later, the two are reunited by chance when Woody tries to save Forky, a toy created by his new owner.
Producer Jonas Rivera added that at least right now, the team behind the film considers Toy Story 4 to be the last Toy Story movie. "This was the final chapter.
Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed there would a new Toy Story sequel coming from Pixar during the 2023 year-end earnings call. It will be the sixth feature-length Toy Story movie following 2022's Lightyear and 2019's Toy Story 4.
Tom Hanks (in 2019), Woody's primary voice actor. Paul Newman, Robin Williams, and Clint Eastwood were all considered for the voice of Woody, but John Lasseter always wanted Tom Hanks to voice Woody, stating that Hanks "has the ability to take emotions and make them appealing.
