The Toy Story movie franchise has become one of Disney’s most popular brands ever since the first film was released in 1995. Over the years, they’ve been integrated more and more into Disney’s theme parks, and even the Walt Disney World Resort now has Toy Story Land. Unfortunately, there seems to have been an accident with one of the Disney World actors dressed as Woody.
Disney’s theme parks are known for having actors dress up as different mascots and characters from their beloved franchises. This naturally includes a number of characters from the Toy Story franchise. As you can see below, Woody was strolling through Toy Story Land when a young child made a mistake.
The child appears to have ran from their parents in an effort to meet Woody. Unfortunately, given the actor’s costume, it appears that he didn’t see the child in time. As such, Woody continues walking, and ends up tripping over the young kid.
Here’s the footage of Woody running over the child at Disney World:

It appears that the actor manages to avoid crushing the child, yet he still ends up tripping and falling to the ground. The video is then cut off as the kid manages to stand back up. As such, it’s unclear if there were any injuries, but it seems as though it could have been much worse.
It goes to show that there is a reason people are warned not to startle the actors at these theme parks. With limited visibility, mobility, and other drawbacks, there are plenty of accidents that could happen. Hopefully this will be the last such accident to happen at Toy Story Land, however, especially with these characters being so special to kids everywhere.
