Summary: Classics of Post-modern Animation
Review: The Toy Story films promise great hope for the future of animation. Computer animation threatens to be cold and unemotional, but Pixar's films prove that computer animation can be just as warm as traditional animation, as long as the imagination and story writing are up to speed. If these DVD's rank up to the extra's on the super-genius edition of A Bug's Life, buying this collection will prove to be a no-brainer.

Summary: DIGITAL EXCELLENCE - PERFECT FOR DVD
Review: Both of these films are classics and for once the sequel, Toy Story 2 lives up to the high standards set by by Toy Story. The animation in the first installment is breathtaking and set new standards at the time (1996) - it is hard to believe that what you are watching is actually animation as it seems so lifelike. Toy Story 2 takes the standards from Toy Story and achieves the impossible... it improves them further. This is done by adding even greater detail and texture to the characters and background and even more frames of animation - the result is breathtaking. These sort of pin-sharp images are what DVD was made for and the picture quality is complely outstanding. The films are worth watching just for the visual quality, but the story for both installments is top class two, taking the basic premise that toys are actually alive but can only move when not being watched by humans! In Toy Story Woody (Tom Hanks voice) is the favourite toy and the story revolves around what happens when a new favourite appears on the scene - Tim Allen's Buzz Lightyear. What makes Buzz Lightyear so funny is that he is a toy based on a superhero astronaut and he believes he has superpowers! In Toy Story 2 Woody and Buzz have become firm friends but Woody gets stolen by an antique toy collector and the other toys have to leave their house to get him back. What makes the stories so excellent apart from the graphics is the tremendous effort put in by the cast who voice them - predominantly Hanks and Allen but ably assisted by many others. Their voices bring the characters to life and there are subtle similarites between the appearance of the toys and the people voicing them. To conclue Toy Story and Toy Story 2 are both examples of movie perfection that will be watched time and time again to enjoy the combination of perfect visuals mixed with a superb cast and excellent storylines. These DVDs deserve a place in everyones collection and are sure to be the amongst the most played DVDs in there. Buy two copies in case you wear out the first!

Summary: You can't miss it....
Review: Disney will send you to 'infinity and beyond' with this 3 DVD Collector's set of 'Toy Story' magic. You not only get' Toy Story' and 'Toy Story 2', but also a third DVD which overflows with all you could ever possibly wish to know about the two films!Each DVD has the option of widescreen and anomorphic formats and has Dolby Digital Surround Sound and is THX-Certified. It will also have alternative audio variations as in 'A Bug's Life' such as music only, surround sound only, etc. But what will undoubtedly interest those considering this set is the third DVD which will contain, in the same format as the Collector's Edition of 'Tarzan' and 'A Bug's Life', sections on development, early presentation reels, music and music videos (including demo tracks), an on-set interview with the characters themselves (and also with the voices behind the characters), storyboards, the making of 'Toy Story', abandoned sequences, character and set galleries of concept ideas developed through to the end design, documentaries of the process of digital animation, production progression demonstration (using the angle feature to move through the various stages of production), and all the trailers and posters used throughout the world to advertise the films. The bloopers are also included and, what I personally love, audio commentary by the film makers (Lasseter, et al.) Since PIXAR are part and parcel of 'Toy Story', the collector's set also includes what they suggest was a major part of inspiration to them - an Academy Award winning piece of animation the company did called 'Tin Toy' which is a very nice extra just as 'Geri's Game' in 'A Bug's Life' about a child's toy which has a life of it's own....made well before Disney heads were scratching for ideas.... I would highly recommend this and if it's half as good as the Collector's Editions have been for other titles, this is going to be the pride of you DVD collection. It's worth paying extra for this over the 2 DVD set since you get so much more - and since it was the first ever feature length computer animated film, you're owning history. Finally, they'll be just like A Bug's life since they're digitally transferred to DVD so the picture quality will be out of this world! Go, buy yours today! (and that's an order....)

Review: These are few of the titles we expected for a very long time! The movies have a very smart dialogues and the graphics is breath taking, pixar sure knows how to make a movie so figures will come a live. I have seen the movies at cinema, and i enjoyed them very much, my girlfriend missed the first one and we were very sorry that we couldn't see it, but now it's finally possible. To conclude this review RUN and BUY it before they change their minds and take them of the shelf. BYE!!!

Summary: Disney Magic at Its Best
Review: When Toy Story was first released, I was living in southern California, so I was able to live the magic of the movie through frequent visits to Disneyland during the holiday season. I had never before seen such lines at a theatre, and such fuss, as was given to Toy Story, considering that it was "supposed" to be a child's movie. Although, after seeing it, I fell under its spell, as only Disney can cast upon a person! It's still hard to imagine that the entire movie, down to the outside shots, and the tiniest details, were all created within a computer. The feel of the movie was real, and I was pulled in to its world. So...naturally (given the dismal rate of failure for most sequels), I was a bit skeptical when I first heard about Toy Story 2. How could Disney possibly capture the magic of the original, with an original script, and new characters to love? Who can ever explain the blessed Disney? They just do it...they take a dream and make it a reality. Toy Story 2 exceded my expectations on many levels, and holds its own as a revered Disney classic. Kudos to Disney and Pixar! Keep up the amazing work!

Summary: About time...
Review: The toy story series is special. Toy story was not only was it one of the first full length computer animated movies (appealing to computer boffins) but it is also a story that not only children, but adults love as well. When Toy Story 2 arrived on the scene, amongst critical acclaim, adults found the humour more amusing than most children. Also included is the documentry you may have seen screened around the times of the original releases of the movies on TV. Detailing the history of Pixar and how the company came to life (Don't forget the jumping desk lamp!) and the making of the films. On a technical note: This version contains an anamorphic widescreen and 3:4 ratio tracks, givinga crystal clear picture on the biggest TV. Just as was given with "A Bugs Life". A must for any collection.
