A Timeless Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (16 October 2009)

I'm going to re-watch all the pixar movies before I watch "Up", and of-course I figured I should start with the original pioneer "Toy Story". It's still as brilliant as ever. Sure, the animation may be dated some (especially on a VHS tape, which is what I just watched), but the story is time-less. I don't care what anyone says, the concept of toys coming to life is beyond awesome. This movie mesmerized me as a kid, and still does today. It's just so perfectly paced and brilliantly written that I don't see how anyone, girl or guy, kid or adult could possibly not enjoy this. This film still gets an easy 10/10 from me. Next up is going to be A Bugs Life and Toy Story 2 (both favorites of mine, though Toy Story 2 was always the only other pixar movie besides the original that I considered a masterpiece). Hopefully both hold up as well as the original Toy Story does (and I think they both will, especially TS2).
