In Toy Story (1995), Mr. Potato Head is shown to be moody towards Andy's other toys, though he is friends with Hamm the piggy bank ( John Ratzenberger). When Sheriff Woody ( Tom Hanks) accidentally pushes Buzz Lightyear ( Tim Allen) out of a window, Potato Head accuses Woody of doing it on purpose. At the end of the film, he is overjoyed to hear Andy's sister Molly getting a Mrs. Potato Head on Christmas. Suddath, Claire (November 27, 2008). "Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade". Time.
