Summary: The best in family entertainment
Review: Disney did a remarkable job bringing this movie to life for all generations to come. I have five children ages 8 to 7 months, and we all enjoy watching this movie every week. The story is original and touches the very soul of those who still have an imagination. Not only is the computer graphics terrific, but the very illusion that the characters seem alive. It's a wonderful movie.

Summary: Wonderful
Review: It seems to me the movies/video's you think are going to be the most boring end up the ones you have to buy and watch over and over again. I thought this and Mulan were going to be as boring as watching grass grow but I found out that the pair of them equal my favourite Disney movies. Toy Story has a quality that you don't see to often in digital animation, being created like they are doesn't hide the storyline or the characters like many others do but instead enhance the video to give you smile that carried on right through the whole movie.

I loved Toy Story, I bought it for my sister but now it seems I watch it more than she does.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Disney and Pixar. What a concept brought to life.
Review: Pixar is one of the most inovative companys(dealing only with 3-d graphics) teamed up with Disney in 1995 to make the movie Toy Story, one of the best children movies ever. This movie is going to be an instant classic, this is an adventure, its romantic, has drama,and is very supenceful. And the great thing about it is that it versitile, it a childs movie that an adult would want to watch too. Get this movie and watch it...alot.

Summary: "You're only a toy, a toy" -Woody
Review: Toy Story to me was one of the greatest 3D animated movies that I've ever seen. Not only that, but I believe it delivered a great message to all the viewers. Well, at least if they did understand the concept and put it to work. The movie had a great plot and also a well written quest for all the characters to go through. The friendship that "Andy" and the toys had was incredible...that's why I say that it delivered a great message. Because for one thing, it demonstrated the bond between plastic or stuffed toy and humankind. The way "Andy" made the toys feel with that sence of belonging when he wrote his name in permanent ink to keep track that they were all his. Not just that, but the contrast that the creators made throughout the whole movie with the bad kid "Sid" and the wanted by all parents "Andy". What parent wouldn't want a kid like that? The creators gave it their all on this movie and they put forth the best to make us laugh in every scene possible! Like the part where "Rex", my favorite, tells the piggybank he came from Mattel. The fact is, most toys do. From Playschool and even Fisherprice...and that's just what the creators did, they made the best possible to bring it to real life. Above all, in my opinion, since the movie did bring back a kid in me as well as in many other people and adults, the movie brought out that even if the materialistic made be made from plastic and any other kind of material, the child and the toy will always have that special bond between them; the most incredible thing is, they probably always will. I believe we all should learn a bit from this too. Because in the end we all as humans later on the future and the futures to come we will all need that sence of attention and of belonging between each other. We don't want to feel like what Woody said, "You're only a toy, a toy". Or do we?

Summary: "You're only a toy" - Woody
Review: This "toy" movie, I believe was one of the greatest animated movies made with "toys" enjoyed all over the nation. It had a great quest and a great plot filled with loads of funny scenes to laugh at. For example the one in which "Rex" tells the pigybank that he comes from Mattel after hearing "Buzz" saying he xcame from "somewhere in the galaxy...". Truth is many toys do come from Mattel, Fisherprice and Playschool. It was really great that the creators of this movie could incorporate this in thre movie. I believe the contrast was great between "Andy" and "Sid" and I believe it gave a great example to all kids and adults of the way to be abd the way not to be. All in all I can truly sat this movie was really innocent and it showed the unison and special bond that kids have between cute pieces of stuffing and plastic. This movie is one of my favorites for the fact that it gave me the chance to become a kid once again and because many of the adults were there once. But I guess my biggest thing that I learned from here is that I still believe that one day people will learn how to take care of others as humankind in this movie has taken care of and has had a great unison between plastic....

Summary: Couldn't have spawned a new era with a better movie
Review: "Toy Story" was the first movie that featured animated 3D figures as its main characters instead of cartoons. Therefore, I didn't know what to expect out of the movie. It turned out to be a real good movie.

Woody has been Andy's favorite toy for a long time. That is, until Andy gets a new toy called Buzz Lightyear. Woody gets jealous of Buzz Lightyear because ever since Andy got it, he hasn't been paying nearly as much attention to Woody as he did before. Woody tries to put an end to Buzz Lightyear as a result, but Buzz and Woody must try to get along after Andy loses both of them. They have to find a way to find Andy and get back to their home.

"Toy Story" was definitely the best looking animated movie when it first came out and it's still one of the best even when you compare it to the other 3D ones such as "Antz" and "A Bug's Life." "Toy Story" was a revolutionary movie that spawned a new era when it comes to animated movies and there couldn't have been a better movie to start a new generation. Not only did it start the 3D animated era, it kept the same feel as most of the classic Disney movies by approaching the audience with a touch of comedy and a cool story. I recommend everybody to get "Toy Story" anytime. The other toys in the movie such as the Slinky Dog and Mr. Potato Head are just as cool as Woody and Buzz Lightyear.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Computer Animation at its best
Review: Taking on the classic myth that your toys come to life when you leave the room, Disney's toy story is the rare animated movie that can be viewed with pleasure by anyone of any age. In this story Woody plays Andy's favriote and most cherished toy in the world. He is basically the boss of all the toys in the room. That is until Buzz comes in. Buzz Lightyear is the toy that everyone wants. He's an astornaut from outer space that fights aliens, saves lives, the whole deal. It dosen't really help that Woody and Buzz don't get along. Or that Buzz really thinks he's an astornaut from outerspace. But when Woody accidently pushed Buzz out of the window, his only choices are to go find him, or be attacked by the other toys. The two are launched into an amazing adventure that puts them to the test. Can they tolerate eachother enough to get back home to Andy? Rent this movie and see. If you like computer animation you'll love this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Extraordinary show!
Review: I used to be a part time projectionist, and I was fortunate enough to show this movie on a 35mm print into a small screen 12' of a school gym. So I had the chance to see all the tech details of this production.... and wow! Some guy at Pixar must got the job just to microscope all the fine details before release. The story is also a fine piece of work. When is the DVD release Disney people? You know their a huge market out there!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The dawn of a new era in animated films
Review: I'm an adult without children and I adored this film. I'm not typically a fan of animated movies, but this was far more than just CGI eye candy. Seeing the excellently 3D rendered characters is definitely a feast for the eyes, but you quickly forget that you are watching computer graphics and you get swept up in the story.

Toys who know that they are toys and live for the love that children have for them. This is a great film for children... morals of teamwork, loyalty and sacrifice are taught and there is a total absence of violence or other negative themes that plague so many films targeted for kids today.

As an adult, I find these characters absolutely adorable and the movie is just an overall entertaining experience. Many clever adult references throughout make the movie equally enjoyable for kids and their parents and the animation will captivate young viewers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome, interesting characters
Review: Besides all the amazing animation and an great plot, Toy Story also has interesting characters that you actually can get into. Personally, I think the neighbor boy Sid is one of the best movie villians ever. The movie also has those some cool easy-to-miss allusions, like Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) pushing a Binford toolbox. This is not a truly inspiring movie, but it is nevertheless an entertaining, impressive masterpiece.
