He is introduced as just a character right at the start of Toy Story 1, however we are not really able to tell he is going to become the main character in later stages of the film.
This first real sign of Woody being a more predominent character is when the little boy is playing with his toys and woody is the good guy and hero. We know this by the dialog in the scene and the actual scene where he is showed putting the bad toy in prison. His is definitly a sign of his importance. Another factor that adds to Woody's introduction is the music that is played when he enters the scene, it is music which you may hear behind a hero when they are doing something heroic to enthasise what they have done.
Part of the mise en scene which is showed in Toy Story is to portray Woody and an important figure, this is done by the points above and the image of "Woody" himself.
As you can see in the picture Woody is dressed in a cowboy sherifs outfit/costume this signifies his important role in the film and the fact that he may be a very strong minded leader in the film, such as a real sherif would be in real life.
In an opening film we can actually learn alot about one character and by looking at them closely we can see if they are likely to take a leading role. (main character)
