Summary: Absolutely wonderful!
Review: After watching Toy Story and Toy Story 2 serveral times, I must say that these are two of the top three animation movies of all time -- the 3rd would be A Bug's Life. The life that the Pixar team breathes into their work is astounding! John Lassiter is truly a genius at what he does, and he is a surprisingly entertaining host in the audio commentaries. I already own all of the animated shorts and can tell you that they are deliteful as well, and you will love Luxo, Jr., Tin Toy (the obvious inspiration for Toy Story), etc.! In "The Making of Toy Story" you will be able to see the great amount of work that it took to make this film. You will begin noticing things that you have never noticed before -- like the leaves, trees, names of books, etc. You will also see how far the story developed from beginning to end. Woody and Buzz developed a lot from the original storyboards to the finished product, and their voice casting strikes such a familiar cord with you that it seems as though these really were toys from your own past. You will never look at Pixar's work the same way. Even if they are capable of making a "bad" movie, I think that I will still like it because of the great appreciation that I have for their work. No doubt about it, this is a great flick and the extras are worth the extra cash...

Summary: Disney and Pixar - a match made in heaven
Review: When Walt Disney oversaw his production team in the early days, the thing he empasized most about his cartoon shorts and features were the gags. He hammered into his people the need to squeeze as many gags as possible into every frame, so that a viewer would hardly catch his breath from one explosion of laughter before he is overcome by another.

Toy Story and Toy Story II were both made decades after Walt had left his company to others; yet - when you watch it - you get the sense that even after all these years, the folks at Pixar and Walt Disney Studios remember how important it is to make us laugh. When you see these movies, you will giggle, you will chortle, you will snicker and chuckle and cackle and roar. When it's all over, if your sides aren't splitting and you mouth isn't sore from the constant grin, then you have a serious malfunction in the 'sense-of-humor' section of your brain.

And it isn't just funny and touching and exciting in the classic Disney sense - it's also chock full of subtle gags and nostalgic toys. Most young adults will immediately recognize the supporting cast, from Mr. Potato Head, to the etch-a-sketch, to the Slinky dog. Tiny plastic green soldiers march in formation straight from our imagination onto the screen. And even Jaws, and Godzilla, and a barrel of monkeys make their appearence. If you have even the smallest degree of fond memories of your childhood, you will love these movies.

Oh, yeah... your kids'll probably love 'em, too.

Summary: Seamless animation
Review: These movies are not just for childeren the double edged comments make both old young laugh all with different points of humor. There is no doubt pixel has worked hard to ignite the imagination of all. Adding a Acadamy winning short which in of itself is almost worthy of it's own dvd. You can almost never tire of watching these moives due to the fact that you keep noting how the little details are not forgotten. Such as getting just the right backdrop moving in the most natural of ways. A sure must buy.

Summary: Landmark films that won't dissapoint.
Review: The Pixar phenomenon continues unabated with the two Toy Story films. The first feature to be completely computer-rendered, Toy Story struck audiences not with its technology but with a powerful story and strong characterisation, led by Tom Hanks and Tim Allen. Here was a movie that, in a time of empty-hearted action flicks, captured the imagination of the public. The younger viewer will love the antics of Woody, Buzz and the rest of the toys, whilst those of us a little older can get a little nostalgic as we see some of the toys from our youth. The sequel (Toy Story 2) gave us new characters and more action but kept the strong characterisations of the first film and provided any number of belly laughs as we followed the toys on another dangerous rescue mission. The animation has matured and the non-plastic cast look and move a lot more naturally in comparison with the original movie. Without a doubt, Toy Story 1 and 2 are superb pieces of the film-makers art and their entertainment value is untarnished by repeated viewing. Its going to be a long wait until the DVD boxset is released in October!

Summary: Story about the Toy Story Gift Set
Review: The Toy Story Gift Set Comes with two great movies Toy Story 1 and 2 on 3 disks. Plus it comes in widescreen and Full Screen. Plus all the extra features it is a must have. This movie is great for everyone in the Family. For those of you who love great anamation and a great story line. Then this is the DVD to get. It is a must have for everyone's DVD Collection. The Toy story 1 starts off with a happy room full of toys, then there comes a new toy, but what is it. If haven't seen it then would like to know what then get this dvd. The Second Toy Story starts of with Andy going to a cowboy camp and the toys are all left alone to fend for them selves. Then an obessive Toy collector kidnaps Woody, who has no idea that he is a great collectable toy. To find out what happens to Woody. Get this DVD. If you seen both already then get it anyway. It is a great set for a great price.

Summary: A Collection Worth Owning
Review: Not being a huge fan of Disney films makes it difficult to saythis, but here goes...

This collection is great! The first moviefinally broke the computer animation barrier (and was very popular to boot). The second (just as popular, if not more) managed to take the favorite characters and put them in a very, very funny story.

Toy Story was cute, I admit, and interesting for what it was (the first fully computer animated film), but Toy Story 2 honestly made you forget you were watching a cartoon. The scenes where Buzz encounters his nemesis Zurg are among the finest moments of deadpan comedy and satire ever made - pretty impressive for an animated feature.

The DVD compilation sounds great, but unless it's your forte, the endless commentary and "Making Of" featurettes from Pixar/Apple/whatever may be more grating than interesting.

When Toy Story 2 was released, there was a short film that preceeded it (no, not that dreadful five-minute "Dinosaur" preview), but it was the feature that gave Pixar it's swing-lamp logo. I certainly hope that it's included with the set.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Smooth graphics, good sound and even a nice story
Review: This is a must have DVD for the special effects fanatics. It is almost like real and the sound is really nice. Buy it!
