What are the main characters in the toy story franchise?

The Toy Story series centers on a group of anthropomorphic toys that come to life when humans are not present. The most prominent figures are Woody, the seasoned pull‑string cowboy, and Buzz Lightyear, the space ranger toy; both are voiced by Tom Hanks and Tim Allen respectively. Jessie, the cowgirl, is another key character voiced by Joan Cusack. The human protagonist, Bonnie, is the child who owns the toys and is voiced by Scarlett Spears in the latest installment. In Toy Story 5 a new toy, Lilypad, appears as a tablet that becomes Bonnie’s favorite plaything. These characters are consistently featured across all five films and represent the core of the franchise’s narrative and emotional themes.
