Andy is generally understood to be 6 years old, turning 7 in the original Toy Story movie. Some fan discussions and older sources vary a bit, but that’s the most common reading.

Quick scoop

The film doesn’t state his age outright in a single line, so people infer it from clues in the story and supporting material. That’s why you’ll see a small range in discussion, but 6–7 is the usual answer.

Why the answer varies

  • Some sources and fans interpret him as 6 at the start of the movie.
  • Others think he is about 7 or 8 based on how he’s portrayed.
  • The most widely accepted takeaway is that he’s around 6 and celebrating a birthday during the events of the first film.

Tiny context

By comparison, Andy is explicitly 17 in Toy Story 3. That later age is stated in the film, which makes the first movie’s age easier to estimate by timeline.

TL;DR: Andy in the original Toy Story is most often taken to be 6, turning 7.
