Hænderne op!
Jeg er faktisk 99,9 % sikker på, at han bare siger "Hænderne op!"
Men jeg skal nok lige tjekke efter lidt senere i dag og give en tilbagemelding! ;-)

@Asker: Ja, det ved jeg godt :-) Men når han siger "reach for the sky", så siger han det allerførst i filmen, hvor han skal befri hyrdinden fra En-Øje-Bart (spillet af Mr. Popato Head) og redde fårene fra at blive kørt over af togbanen. Og der siger Woody i hvert fald "reach for the sky" til En-Øje-Bart (altså skurken) i den engelske version, og jeg er som sagt 99,9 % sikker på, at han siger "hænderne op!" i den danske (måske "hænderne op, makker!"), men skal nok lige tjekke, når jeg lige får fundet filmen frem fra gemmeren....

| Han kan flere sætninger, når Anders trækker i den snor han har i ryggen. Den ene er "Der er en slange i min støvle" (There's a snake in my boots)og vist også You're my favourite deputy... |
| Du behøver ikke lede mere - jeg har afleveret opgaven for længst og fandt en anden løsning. |
| Efter omfattende google søgning tror jeg heller ikke nødvendigvis at Woody dukkerne (vi har også selv en, men han taler amerikansk) siger det samme, som Woody kan sige i filmene. |
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
Anna Haxen
: Tentatively ... Min søns Woody-dukke siger bl.a. "Hænderne op, makker", når man trækker i snoren, så mon ikke det er det? Senere: Nej, det passer ikke! Det er ikke dukken, der siger det. Det er hørt i Toy Story II. Undskyld erindringsforskydningen!

Uden tvivl! Kunne simpelthen ikke huske om "makker" også var med... Jeg har ikke fundet filmen endnu!

"om det koster en arm og et ben"
"om det koster en arm og et ben"
I am not sure whether this is really appropriate or not.
It reflects the determination behind the achievement, and alludes to the fact that Douglas Bader, who really existed, could not afford to train as a pilot, but managed to do so anyway... then lost his legs in a flying accident in 1931, and returned to the RAF to fly and lead others, playing a really important part in the Battle of Britain.
For us in the post-war generation he was still a heroic figure.
The association is not simply with an impossible dream, but with keeping on fighting until you achieve it.

OK, sorry, then I can't help!
(But thanks for the excuse to revisit the story of Douglas Bader!)

Book and film
I guess "Reach for theSky" is still an inspiring book - I read it several times in the 1960s and still have it on my shelf.
The film starring Kenneth More was also one of his best - my son was impressed at the age of 10-11 or so.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reach_for_the_Sky_(1956_film)
I don't know if the expression is as proverbial now as it used to be, but it was a symbol for defying the odds, winning through, and "That's how we won the War" in the best sense.
Paul Brickhill's style may be a little dated, but he does capture the transition from despair to triumph without undue sentimentality.

OK, maybe the expression has lost some of its impact... but I would still try to keep some of the 'go for it' element.
'Hent månen ned' or something in that direction, that implies you actually do it, which after all, is often Disney's point.
