One Of The Best, If Not The Best Films Ever Made

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2019)

It's tough to say if this movie is a work of genius, or just really good marketing.
It has a great set up, Andy get's new toys for his birthday, and one of them happens to be an Action Figure named Buzz Lightyear, voiced by Tim Allen. He is a delusional Space Ranger Toy that thinks he's an actually Space Ranger. Then you have Sheriff Woody, a down to earth Pull-String Cowboy Doll, voiced by Tom Hanks. Woody and The Rest of the Gang already know there Toys, but Buzz hasn't figured out that he's a toy yet. Toy Story then proceeds to spend two-thirds of it's run-time creating character development for Woody and Buzz to help them figure out their identity among the rest of Andy's Toys. What's interesting about this movie is just how common place in feels among all the other great films of the past, not just animated, but all feature films in general. Not to surprising considering the creative team behind the project. Gary Rydstrom sound design, Joss Whedons screenplay, and John Lasseter Directing really adds a whole other level of depth to the film that is both original and unique in concept, design, and execution. It's a smart, clever, funny, heart warming movie that kids, and adults can enjoy. It's about the importants of working together, being brave, overcoming adversity, and staying true to yourself. If you haven't seen it, watch it, and who knows, perhaps you may just end up liking it.
