In the first Toy Story, I payed attention to the movements more than I have before, one character in particular being Sheriff Woody. The lead character of the film, Woody's present from the very beginning.
The way Woody moves is very lanky and spindly, since he is a cloth doll and his material isn't as rigid as plastic or metal. Woody's limbs are very free as they move, and can move quickly. When they're not flopping around in the air, they're pointed straight in accusation or emphasis.
As a character, Woody has leadership qualities but becomes jealous when Buzz Lightyear is give to his owner, Andy. Since then his jealousy grows more, until he has to work together with Buzz to return home safely after getting lost at a gas station.
Through these situations and trials, Woody changed to a more caring toy, able to realize his flaws and make amends with Buzz. A "tell" for Woody would be his flailing legs when he's running.
