Toy Story is just a wonderful film, that I recommend to anyone who loves animation. I will also say that it is definitely the best Pixar movie to date, all of which are extremely good, even the weaker efforts Cars and the Incredibles are well worth watching. I loved the voice talents, the talented Tom Hanks is perfect as Woody, and Tim Allen likewise as Buzz. Both characters are hugely engaging thanks to their frequent conflicts, and are well supported by excellent supporting characters like Potato Head, Rex, Ham and Little Bo Beep, voiced by the likes of Don Rickles, Jim Varney, John Ratzenberger and Annie Potts. Not to mention the hilarious toy aliens, and the creepy kid Sid. The voice talents aren't the only things worth mentioning, the film has a remarkable story and a truly irreverent script ("I'm from Mattel, actually I'm from a smaller company that was purchased by Mattel in a leveraged buyout"). But the best aspect of the movie is the phenomenal animation, which was colourful and sophisticated with brilliant character movement. Honestly, I loved this movie, and I also thought the sequel is one of the few sequels of recent times, that actually manages to surpass its predecessor. All in all, a wonderful film, that is a must-see for the whole family. 10/10 Bethany Cox.

Best Pixar movie to date!
A game changer
I can see why this was a big hit at the time. Well made and with enough wit and references for the adults to enjoy it. Pixar brought in a whole new style of animation here and blew away the increasingly old-fashioned Disney hits.
Ground breaking
Andy's toys come to life. Woody (Tom Hanks) is his favorite until a new toy Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) takes over as the new favorite. Woody gets jealous and tries to get rid of Buzz. Only they both get left behind.
This was the first successful CGI full length movie. It ushers in PAXAR as a major force in movies. While the groundbreaking CGI is impressive, the characters are what's so charming about the movie. It's a stroke of genius to make the movie about toys. The CGI is still not photo realistic. People would be too hard to make look real. Toys are perfect. And the great voices allow life to be injected into these inanimate toys. It works as a great story on its own, but it's the revolution in CGI that has changed entertainment. This wasn't just a simple step but a real game changer.
