Toy Story the True Classic

Rating: 10/10 (13 March 2019)

Just like siblings. A war is fought. A cowboy and a space ranger. Fight for popularity... and play time. Toy story is a classic movie about toys living in their own universe. Once Andy, the toy's owner, leaves the room, the toys come to life. Toy story builds off this idea of toys coming to life and makes a whole adventure out of it. My 6-year old self cannot recommend this movie enough. I know with the amount of time I spent watching this movie, that I could have done a lot, but instead of doing something worthwhile, I watched toy story. I will tell you that it brought out a lot of creativity in me when I was young. I had every toy you could think of, and I knew, and still know, every lyric to "You've Got a Friend in Me." Toy Story is a pretty big deal to me for nostalgia reasons and because it's just a great movie overall. It is for sure a classic, and the idea and execution was thought out very well. Also, the movie had a lot of popular actors and an amazing soundtrack to just put that cherry right on top.
Toy Story is about toys that wake up when the owner, Andy, leaves the room. Andy gets a new toy for his birthday. The toy he gets is Buzz Lightyear, a space ranger toy. Before Andy gets Buzz, Woody was the most played with and popular toy. Andy gets Buzz and becomes obsessed with him. Buzz is popular between the other toys, and he also is starting to get all the play time as well. This of course, makes Woody mad and jealous. Most of the movie Buzz thinks he is a real life space ranger which makes for some pretty good comedy. This annoys Woody also. Basically the whole movie is like some siblings fighting for more attention from their parents. In the middle of all this fighting between the two of them, they end up in the hands of the neighbor Sid. He is the kid next door that sabotages and brakes toys for fun. You can see how that is an amazing idea of an antagonist. But when they get taken a lot of things happen is it for the better or worse you will just have to find out.
Toy story is a humorous classic, nobody can deny this. Toy Story brings the idea of toys to a whole new level. After watching this movie when I was young I never thought of toys the same. I cared for my toys more and honestly thought that they came to life when I left the room.The humor is great for a kids movie. A lot of the parts where Buzz thinks he is actually a space ranger and he is making fun of Woody always give a nice little chuckle. In one of the scenes Woody is lost from Andy because of Buzz and Woody is screaming at Buzz who still thinks he is a real space ranger and Woody is screaming, "You're a toy. You're a child's play thing!" then after that Buzz says," You're a sad strange little man, and you have my pity." There is also a pretty big change from the beginning of the movie to the end with a great message. I won't spoil the change you'll just have to watch the movie. I will say though, that it might have something to do with one of the themes, friendship.
Toy Story has Tom Hanks and Tim Allen as the main characters. Woody is Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks is a very famous actor starring in movies like: Forrest Gump, Cast Away, and Big. All these movies are very popular and are all great movies like Toy Story. If you are going to give it a shot it might be because of Tom Hanks acting skills. Tim Allen plays Buzz. He is a very popular actor in movies like Santa Claus and Cars. This movie doesn't just have great actors it also has an amazing soundtrack with a truly unforgettable song You've Got a Friend in Me. There are tons of other songs that will make you wanna sing out loud like Strange Things and I Will Go Sailing No More. All the songs and the cast are never to be forgotten.
Toy Story has a lot of themes. One of many I could think of is, friendship which is shown by Buzz and Woody. The change, that I can't tell you about, really shows this. Speaking of change, that is a theme too. Change can sometimes be hard. When Woody first sees Buzz he starts to get jealous and obviously mad, like a kid would get mad when their parents had a baby and it gets all the attention.
Toy story will always have a special place in my heart. The movie taught me about friendship and told what change means. I will always think of it as one of the best movies of all time. These lyrics right here show you why this movie is so great, "Some other folks might be a little bit smarter than I am. Bigger and stronger too, maybe. But none of them will ever love you the way I do." Some of the best lyrics to every come from a song. I still think to this day my toys are alive...
