Pixar's overall #1 best, one of the best parts of my childhood, overall best animated film, and one of the best films in general as well

Rating: 10/10 (18 April 2017)

Toy Story is the very first animated film ever made in history, it's the overall best and set the bar high for plenty of future computer animated films in general for a lot of good reasons. Pixar's first film takes place in a world where toys come alive when nobody is around, the story centers around a pull string cowboy doll named Woody who's voiced by Tom Hanks, he's the favorite toy of a young boy named Andy, but that changes when Andy gets a new action figure for his birthday, that particular toy is Buzz Lightyear who is voiced by Tim Allen, Buzz wins all the attention which makes Woody inevitably jealous and forces him to try to get rid of Buzz, resulting in them getting separated from Andy, therefore, they must put their differences aside and try to get back to Andy before him and his family move to their new house. With great writers like John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, Joe Ranft, and Joss Whedon, the story as a whole needs nothing more and nothing less, it's just right, every scene advances the story forward. The characters are all memorable, the Pizza Planet aliens, the cowardly Rex voiced by Wallace Shawn, the know-it-all Hamm the piggy bank voiced by John Ratzenberger, the loyal Slinky-Dog voiced by Jim Varney, and the sassy and rude but always hilarious Mr. Potato-Head who's voiced by Don Rickles. But the best characters are the two main protagonists, Buzz Lightyear is a character that took a life of his own and became a pop-cultural phenomenon over night, even getting his own TV show, in fact in December 1995 every child on the planet wanted a Buzz Lightyear action figure, which is what Buzz represents the toy we all wanted when we were kids but weren't lucky enough to get, the ultimate action hero of the ultimate hero, and on top of all that casting Tim Allen to do his voice is by far one the best voice over performances of all time. Then there's Woody, Tom Hanks' performance as the sheriff of these parts was outrageously flawless, he's an old soul and his case is quite literal, considering he is a toy from the early generation which we didn't grow up in, but he is probably the character we can relate to the most. As for the best scene, the end of the final chase scene when Buzz and Woody are flying through the air after almost being blown up by a rocket: Woody: Hey Buzz you're flying! Buzz: this isn't flying, this is falling with style! Where Buzz finally achieves what he knew he could do from the start and Woody can put his doubts aside. Get the family together and get ready to go as Buzz and Woody put it "TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!"
