Why the trailer, why?

Rating: 9/10 (15 January 2000)

I remember seeing all the trailers for this movie and thinking, "Uggh, how stupid. Why do they make movies like this?" This was when I was in my macho mood. Ya know, I've outgrown all this animated c%^p. That was my attitude, so, of course, I avoided this movie for 4 years. Just last year, Pokemon kinda broke me out of my "macho mode" and brought me back to those simple pleasures. Taught me not to hide the child in me. So, my mom says we're taking care of my little cousin and wants to know if there's a movie out that we could see. I mentioned Toy Story 2 (he and I already saw Pokemon, the most underrated movie of '99), but hadn't seen the first one. So, I drove over to his house to watch Toy Story. Man, what I was missing. This is a terrific movie, but not because of the great animation. The animation is cool, but like I've said, don't be that superficial that you judge the movies completely on animation. It's the characters that matter, and this one had great characters. Something that everyone must see.
