GH- Woody Show

Cowboy Crunchies Presents.....

Woody's

Round-up

1999 - 2000

The Show Overview:

The show included a pre-show, where we are introduced to the cast of “Woody’s Round-up” by Wilson Netherspoon as the stage manager/ announcer. Tex Tumbleweed serves as the show’s musician and sound effect guy. The cast is than introduced including Sheriff Woody, Jessie the Yodeling Cowgirl, and Bulls-eye, Woody's trusty stead.

Next, we are treated to our first song for the show, “Hey Howdy Hey”. The second song of the show was Jessie’s “Yodeling Song” and a musical commercial from the sponsor entitled, “Cowboy Crunchies”.

Now back to our drama [which is presented in black and white to resemble an old TV show]…..we find Jessie trapped in a cave after chasing evil rustlers. There was an avalanche and the scene opens with Jessie trying to figure a way out. In the end, the hero, Woody prevails and all is well.

Toy Story 2 opened in movie theaters throughout the United States on November 24, 1999. To help promote this new Disney/Pixar movie on Sunday, November 21, 1999, The All-New Woody’s Roundup stage show opened at Disneyland’s venerable Golden Horseshoe Saloon.

In the movie, Toy Story 2, our cowboy hero, Woody discovers that he was the star of a 1950s TV show, Woody’s Roundup. The show at Disneyland was based on Woody’s TV show.

The final performance of The All-New Woody’s Roundup was on Monday, July 17, 2000, the 45^th anniversary of the opening of Disneyland — and, surprisingly enough, exactly three months before the scheduled October 17 video and DVD release of “Toy Story 2.” The show played daily with several performances and featured 4 different casts.
