He served as chairman of Walt Disney Studios from 1984 to 1994, a position in which he oversaw production and business operations for the company's feature films. Following his departure, he co-founded DreamWorks SKG in 1994, where he served as the company's chief executive officer (CEO) and executive producer of its animated franchises—including Shrek, Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda, and How to Train Your Dragon—until stepping down from the title in 2016. He has since founded the venture capital firm WndrCo in the same year, which invests in digital media projects, and launched Quibi in 2020, a defunct short-form mobile video platform that lost US$1.35 billion in seven months. Katzenberg has also been involved in politics as an election donor. With active support of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, he was named "one of Hollywood's premier political kingmakers and one of the Democratic Party's top national fund-raisers". He served as a campaign co-chair for Joe Biden's 2024 presidential re-election campaign, and subsequently Kamala Harris' 2024 presidential campaign.

In a world, where toys come to life when their owners aren't around, Sheriff Woody Pride, an old cowboy doll with a pull-string vocalizer and the favorite toy of young Andy Davis, is the unofficial leader of the rest of Andy's toys. Woody's world is turned upside down when Andy receives a trendy new "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command" toy for his birthday, threatening both his status as Andy's favorite toy and his popularity among the others. Most annoying of all, Buzz genuinely believes he's a Space Ranger and, therefore, can't appreciate Andy's love the way Woody does. Woody attempts to make Buzz "accidentally" fall behind Andy's desk so Andy won't be able to find him. In the process, Buzz is knocked out the window by actual accident, causing the others to assume foul play and turn their backs on Woody. Then, when Andy takes Woody with him to dinner at Pizza Planet, Buzz catches up and the two become separated from Andy during a confrontation. In their attempts to get back to Andy, the two instead wind up in the possession of his sadistic toy-mutilating next door neighbor Sid Phillips. With Andy's family moving in a couple of days, Woody and Buzz need to learn to work together to get back home as soon as possible and, in the process, discover that they've got a friend in each other.
