The beginning of a new era

Rating: 10/10 (18 September 2004)

Having a three year old son has lots of good points, though if he likes a movie we get him a copy and boy does he like to watch it over and over!. Toy Story happens to be his favourite, and I have to admit it has grown on me, to the point I am a enjoy nearly as much as he does.
Giving cgi characters lifelike 3D qualities is very difficult - the sense of movement, characterisation,storytelling etc all come together, making it a real tour de force. I must have seen it at least 60 times and I still can't fault the film. Will any future film made for children top this?, maybe, but it will have to really go some to do it. Best moments in the film - well its hard to say but there are so many - the soldiers recee at the beginning, buzz realising he is actually a toy, the toys getting their own back on Spike etc. 10/10
