Ground breaking

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2013)

Andy's toys come to life. Woody (Tom Hanks) is his favorite until a new toy Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) takes over as the new favorite. Woody gets jealous and tries to get rid of Buzz. Only they both get left behind.
This was the first successful CGI full length movie. It ushers in PAXAR as a major force in movies. While the groundbreaking CGI is impressive, the characters are what's so charming about the movie. It's a stroke of genius to make the movie about toys. The CGI is still not photo realistic. People would be too hard to make look real. Toys are perfect. And the great voices allow life to be injected into these inanimate toys. It works as a great story on its own, but it's the revolution in CGI that has changed entertainment. This wasn't just a simple step but a real game changer.
