The recent 3-D version of Toy Story just adds to a great experience!

Rating: 10/10 (26 October 2009)

When this initial computer animated movie first came out in November of 1995, I was stoked to watch this especially after watching a little behind the scenes short about it at Walt Disney World and besides, my birthday was near. What a wonderful experience what with the funny moments as well as touching ones and some intense ones concerning that sadistic kid Sid. And the use of many established comic talents like Don Rickles, Annie Potts, John Ratzenberger (who would become a regular Pixar voice), the late Jim Varney, and especially, Tom Hanks as Woody and Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear. And as with previous Disney animated features, Randy Newman provides such an enjoyably compelling music score as well as several enjoyable songs with a great theme song in "You've Got a Friend in Me" that he warbled with Lyle Lovett. And the recent 3-D version just adds to the experience! So while this and Toy Story 2 is still (in its fourth week) playing as a double feature in theatres (with an entertaining 10-minute intermission of trivia and many other extras), I recommend you rush to the next showing as soon as you can!
