(#23) Tom Hanks Improvised Much of Woody's Dialogue
Tom Hanks had so much fun playing Woody that he'd go off on tangents in character. Lucky for him (and the animators) they record the dialogue first and then get to animating.
John Lasseter explained: “In the process of making an animated film, we always record the dialogue before we do the animation so the animators can be inspired by the actor’s movements." Everything in the scene where Buzz loses his arm and Woody plays with it was added on after Hanks made it up on the spot.
He recorded so much extra (and usable!) stuff back in 1994 that they plan to use some of that dialogue in Toy Story 4.

(#1) Toy Story 4 Is in Great Hands
The script is being written by Rashida Jones and directed by John Lasseter, who also helmed the first two.
“We don’t want to do anything with them unless it lives up to or surpasses what’s gone before. ‘Toy Story 3’ ended Woody and Buzz’s story with Andy so perfectly that for a long time, we never even talked about doing another ‘Toy Story’ movie. But when Andrew [Stanton], Pete [Docter], Lee [Unkrich] and I came up with this new idea, I just could not stop thinking about it. It was so exciting to me, I knew we had to make this movie — and I wanted to direct it myself.”

(#17) Disney Originally Didn't Want to Use "Toy" in the Title
Can you imagine Toy Story being named anything else? It's simple, it's clean, it's got layers, it's easy to say and remember - it's the perfect title. Well, Disney originally feared it would scare away adults and teenagers. Hundreds of millions of dollars and multiple sequels later... it certainly didn't scare anyone.
