There is greatness in film that can be discussed, dissected, and talked about late into the night. Then there is genius that is right in front of our faces--we smile at the spell it puts us into and are refreshed, and nary a word needs to be spoken. This kind of entertainment is what they used to call "movie magic," and there is loads of it in this irresistible computer animation feature. Just a picture of these bright toys on the cover ofToy Story looks intriguing, reawakening the kid in us. Filmmaker John Lasseter's shorts (namelyKnickknack andTin Toy, which can be found on the Pixar videoTiny Toy Stories) illustrate not only a technical brilliance but also a great sense of humor--one in which the pun is always intended. Lasseter thinks of himself as a storyteller first and an animator second, much like another film innovator, Walt Disney.
Lasseter's story is universal and magical: what do toys do when they're not played with? Cowboy Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks), Andy's favorite bedroom toy, tries to calm the other toys (some original, some classic) during a wrenching time of year--the birthday party, when newer toys may replace them. Sure enough, Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) is the new toy that takes over the throne. Buzz has a crucial flaw, though--he believes he's the real Buzz Lightyear, not a toy. Bright and cheerful,Toy Story is much more than a 90-minute commercial for the inevitable bonanza of Woody and Buzz toys. Lasseter further scores with perfect voice casting, including Don Rickles as Mr. Potato Head and Wallace Shawn as a meek dinosaur. The director-animator won a special Oscar for "the development and inspired application of techniques that have made possible the first feature-length computer-animated film." In other words, the movie is great.--Doug Thomas
why i didn't enjoy the movie The story and the meaning behind made sense, although it is an sad and some moments too cruel movie. look forward to next one, hope it becames more soft and loving
Great for kids&adults too!!! We just recently pulled this out of our collection of movies to let our 2yr old watch...we could not get her away from front of the television. Since we just got Buzz&Woody in McDonalds happy meals...now she knows who they are. This is a great movie and so enjoyable to watch.Amazing Toy Story is an original story about toys who are actually alive and have thoughts and feelings of their own. With voice overs by Tim Allen and Tom Hanks to give the animation its character this movie becomes more than just another animation film. It becomes a part of our own entertainment of what it could be like if we were toys. A must see for anyone of any age.
