It's just like the movie!

#GetWoodyHome: Lost 'Toy Story' doll sparks online campaign to find owner

Stop everything! A real-life 'Toy Story' scenario is in play and we HAVE to reunite this lost toy with its owner. To make it even more perfect, the lost toy is the character Woody from that exact movie.

Woody (the toy, not the character) was found lying on the side of a motorway in England by passing motorist, Bev McNeill. A big 'Toy Story' fan, Bev spotted him immediately but traffic was moving too fast for her to stop and pick him up.

But she didn't forget about him.

Seven weeks later, she was driving past the same spot when she remembered Woody and his plight. This time, she was able to pull over and there he was - still lying in the mud with a broken arm.

Bev took him home and is now desperately trying to find his original owner after spotting that the name 'Liam' is written on the bottom of his right boot - just like Andy's name was in the movie!

His photo was posted to Twitter with the hashtag #GetWoodyHome. It has since been retweeted more than 5,000 times - Andrew Stanton, a Pixar director who helped write 'Toy Story', has retweeted the story, as has Disney UK.

This better work out because we are now WAY too emotionally invested in this toy's story.

Come on, internet - let's get Woody home to Liam!
