Woody from Toy Story - Has there ever been a main hero in a child's story as petty?

The film is about Woody’s emotional change towards having Buzz in the room.

Not unlike a kid having to adapt to a younger sibling.

Of course, in “Toy Story,” there IS a younger sibling on the way, just in case you missed the parallel.

It seems to me that main characters who turn from jerks to heroes are actually pretty common in children’s literature. What about the Grinch?
