Rating: Summary: Add this one to your own Toy Box Review: If you want to buy a copy of Toy Story, this is the *ONLY* way to go! The DVD versions of TS and TS2 are far superior to any VHS copies. The digital footage is absolutely stunning and the quality is perfect. No scratches, no dust, no spots. If you are fortunate enough to own a Surround Sound system in your home you'll notice a difference as well with the THX optimode featured on these DVD versions. I've seen TS on VHS on my THX system and it was decent. But with the DVD's THX optimode you truly go back to the theater. The "action" scenes are much better as the sounds move from channel to channel, especially in large scale scenes with the rocket and airport. They're a thousand times more crisp than the VHS version. The third DVD is a nice bonus, too, with an entertaining interactive menu full of content to keep you busy for hours. The outtakes, the making of, and the TS treats are definitely worth catching. I highly recommend this collection for any Disney/Pixar fan.
Rating: Summary: Can't beat this! Review: Stunning. Really stunning. This pack is by far the most worthwhile collection I have purchased yet by a mile and a half. I have to say that I will find any excuse to watch these films again and again; they bridge generations in that adults and children can immerse themselves with equal enjoyment. The collectors set is the best for extras that has come on any DVD so far, but this should be no surprise as John Lasseter and Co. have been working in the digital medium for way to many years to disappoint on that front, it would be hard to imagine that there will be much to beat this for a while. The films themselves have a cast that is amazing and you have to sometimes remind yourself that the characters are not 'real' (You are a toy, T O Y as Woody informs Buzz) By the way, there is a must see 'Easter egg' on one of these disks....
Rating: Summary: FUN - pure and simple Review: If you're not seen either of the Toy Story films, you are in for a treat! The computer animation is nothing short of magic that makes the toys in the film literally come to life. Tom Hanks & Tim Allen lend their voices to create two memorable characters in Woody and Buzz. I'm an adult but these two films so easily bring out the kid in me. So many films say "for kids of all ages". This one truly delivers. Also, the sequel (Toy Story 2) is every bit as clever as the first one. The storyline continues and explores new territory for the toys' adventure; it doesn't simply re-hash the original's plot line. These two films are certainly ones that are enjoyable time and time again. The DVD investment is a good one.
Rating: Summary: Better than the original Review: Toy Story 2 is one of the best animated movies in a while! It is better than the original because it has a more fun plot. I also liked the new characters, like Jessie, Bulls-eye, Mrs. Potato Head, and the Prospector. The out-takes at the end were hilarious! My whole family loved this movie and I think you will too. Toy Story 2 is excellent! I hope you have enjoyed my review.
Rating: Summary: A great way to kill a day (If you watch it that way!) Review: Yeah, Yeah, Toy Story and it's successful predecssor were wonderful films so I'm not going to rave up and down about the films itself. What I'm talking about is the DVD 3-disc set, which is makes these films better. There is around 9 hours of stuff to watch (with the films). You get the DVD standards such as trailers and commentary, profiles of EVERY single Toy Story character complete with development stills and rendering models, storyboards, music composition, I could go on all day. It's been a month since I've owned it, and frankly I still have yet to explore every nook and cranny of the set.
Rating: Summary: best moveie Review: I like the movie because it was funny and my mother like it too I am 9years old hope to be able to see more move like that.
Rating: Summary: Excellent quality DVD, Excellent movie Review: Both movies are fun to watch (no, you won't be any smarter or more insightful at the end, but you will have had a good time). Suprisingly the second may even be better than the first. The quality of the DVD is excellent. The only complaint would be that the extras available on the Special Edition 3-disc set are well worth having, and it is probably the better set to get. If you just care about the movies themselves though, this makes an excellent edition, with _great_ audio, a high quality transfer, and some extra features to get you started.
Rating: Summary: intellectually devoid Review: The film was hit and kids love it, but disney films have a way of dumbing things down to the level of a snail. The older disney movies were better written and have real depth to the character development. When Walt Disney ran the company, movies could address scary things, like life, death, politics, ecology and social issues. Disney no longer desires to make great movies. Nor does it know how anymore. Disney needs to kick out all the execs and hire a new team that is willing to make a gamble and strive to create stories and not block busters. The last couple of years, disney movies have been brain drains that lack real substance and is deathly afraid of breaking the disney formula. Sure you're kids will love the movie, but would rather your kids watch a movie that challenges them to understand and learn, or just be entertained.
Rating: Summary: Brings Our Family CLoser Review: These 2 movies always seem to make our entire family laugh together and not at each other for a change. I like them alot. You will too. AT 15 I'm only supposed to like hip-hop stuff. But Buzz IS hip!
Rating: Summary: Buzz & Woody Make Me Smile Review: The computer-generated original was a hoot, but this sequel is surprisingly even better. Turns out Woody is a collector's item in Japan and is about to be shipped overseas when Buzz plots his rescue. Unlike other kid-directed movies--stop blushing, Pokémon--there's so much warmth and emotion here that adults will enjoy it as much as kids. It's filled with puns and satire and never lets up. Hanks, Allen and the rest of the cast reprise their vocal chores. Knight is especially terrific as the evil Al McWhiggin. Disney wisely ponied up the cash to put this sequel, originally slated for direct-to-video release, on the big screen. It's millions well spent. Buy this and let the inner child in you come out and play! An amazing piece of animation with a wonderful story.
