The thing is, the movies in no way suffer from that absence in the story. The movies are near perfect, despite missing key elements in the lives of the adults. Sure it would have been interesting, and sure it could have helped you understand or answer some questions, but it would be extra and even unnecessary for a lot of people... children especially.Originally Posted by KleanKicks

It's not that strange, Disney/Pixar like to show unconventional families for a changing society, they don't need the dad in the stories because it's not central to the plots or themes.
By "strange" I'm just saying it's never mentioned/implied, whereas in most other movies there is at least a quick reference. I mean if they really wanted to, it could actually be key to show why Andy's so close with Woody through all of these years. Maybe Woody was a hand-me down from his father who passed away while he was a baby. Maybe Woody helped distract him from the divorce of his parents. I know these scenarios would be too much for a movie marketed for children, but it would have been interesting to know a little more about the human characters in the films as well.

Andy's mother mentioned it at the yard sale in Toy Story 2 when that guy tried to buy him (and wound up just stealing him). Something along the lines of "it's been in the family for years".

OK Brainstrom.
Woody is a toy from the 30s or 40s and a Family hamidown toy. So Grandfather gave woody to his father who gave it to Andy. If this was a case of daddy not being there Andy would have never gotten that toy. I'm gonna assume Andys dad is dead.

None of what you just said happened in the movies.
