Capítulo 22 de 22 · 4'25"

Woody Says Goodbye to Buzz, explained
What happens
At the end of the carnival, Woody decides to stay with Bo Peep instead of going home. He offers a quiet farewell — "So long, cowboy," then "Happy trails" — and a friend answers with a gentle nudge to trust his inner voice. The film closes on the Space Ranger catchphrase they share.
What's really going on
The ending gives Woody the one thing he never had in the earlier films: a choice. For years his identity was Andy's toy, then Bonnie's, and he measures himself by being needed. Bo offers a different life, and the scene treats the decision with care instead of making it a betrayal. Buzz, his old rival turned closest friend, is the one who releases him: "Listen to your inner voice." The joke, that Buzz's inner voice is a recording of his own catchphrase, becomes tender here, because Woody's inner voice now speaks in Buzz's words. When the gang asks if Woody is a lost toy, the reply is "He's not lost" and "Not anymore," closing the series on chosen belonging rather than being owned.

Preguntas frecuentes
La pregunta, luego la fraseWhy does Woody decide to stay with Bo Peep?
After a lifetime of belonging to a kid, Woody chooses a life with Bo. Buzz tells him to listen to his inner voice, and what that voice says is "To infinity and beyond," which he takes as permission to go.
What does Buzz mean by "listen to your inner voice"?
It references an earlier gag where Buzz's "inner voice" was his own recorded catchphrase. Here it becomes sincere: Buzz is telling Woody to stop asking others and do what he actually wants.
Is Woody a lost toy at the end?
The toys joke about it, but the answer is "He's not lost" and "Not anymore." Woody isn't abandoned; he has chosen Bo and a new purpose, so the label of lost doesn't fit.
What is the final line of Toy Story 4?
Buzz and Woody trade "To infinity..." and "And beyond," the Space Ranger catchphrase from the first film, now used as a goodbye between friends.
