This really is the most depressing film ever. I'd do anything to be able to see this as a kid.
Even after the gazillionth viewing I still feel this ode to childhood sports one of the best scripts ever written.
Like everything else in this film it's flawless.

The pixar people must be termed Scientists. What do scientists do? Come up with some new radical idea which causes a revolution in their particular field. It is the same with Pixar. Toy story created a revoution in terms of the animation technology shown on film, and also the depth of story telling and the plethora of new ideas explored in an animated film.
Making toys talk, thinking like a toy, what he likes, what he fears etc in Toy story 1,2,3 , Getting into the mindset of a rat who wants to be a chef in Ratatouille , Thinking like a robot in a different planet in Wall-E, Thinking like a fish, a shark, sea turtle and as every…

Pisses off the cynic in me.
It doesn't like to be made happy, fuzzy and warm inside.
The perfect story about love, childhood and everything in between.

In March of 1996 my 8 year old self was taken to the cinema by my parents for the UK release of Toy Story. I didn't know what we were seeing, they only told me it was a 'surprise', and what a surprise it was. To this day it remains one of my fondest childhood moments and I'd rank it as my best ever cinema going experience. 17 years later, I stood in front of my blu-ray collection staring at an unwrapped copy of Toy Story knowing that I hadn't watched it in almost 10 years. I popped it in and proceeded to fall in love with it all over again, I adore this movie and I don't think I'll…

The best Pixar film of all time. The best animated film of all time. The best family film of all time. And quite simply, one of my favourite films of all time.
The worst thing about it is it's incredibly short, running at only 81mins. So you have to squeeze literally everything out of those precious minutes while you're watching it.
Not including Woody or Buzz, who's your favourite character? Feel free to comment!
Mine is Mr. Potato Head.

Part 1 of me and my friends' Toy Story marathon.
Well, this was just as good as a remember it.
This is a Joss Whedon movie through and through. His dialogue style is so prevalent. I wish he had returned to the series. The characters, writing, animation, and voice acting (seriously, who doesn't love Tim Allen?) are all perfect.
And that's what this film is.
Perfect.

The first and best of its kind.

Great piece of work by Pixar! All of the Toy Story movies are succeeded! Love it.

Pixar's debut is a smash of colour, joy, storytelling excellence, and wonder.

Call an exorcist!
Buzz Lightyear is the devil
He talks behind you! -
You really have to admire the playfulness that comes through in the opening scenes of Pixar’s (also, the) first feature-length foray into digital animation. Just as Andy brings life to his toys with his cardboard cityscape and childhood imagination, Pixar animates them with an innovative eye and equally youthful creativity. Even seeing Toy Story a full childhood later (it’s been 18 years?!), the opening scenes are remarkably fresh—as marvelous and playful as ever.
Look at how animate these characters are! The facial expressions and the range of emotion that comes through their plastic faces is astonishing. Revel in the technical details too, as Pixar shows us they’ve nailed motion blur by sending Andy and Woody spinning around in a recliner.…
