One of the great movies of all time

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 2015)

I enjoy watching this movie over and over. It is structured so carefully, I can pick up from any point and be immersed. I love reading about how it was made just as much as watching it, and collect books about Pixar and the making of these films. But as much as I enjoy the craft and history of Toy Story, I also think it deserves credit for its influence. It's just too bad that all the filmmakers that think they're working from the Toy Story template are missing the main ingredient: story. Pixar worked and reworked this script for years and refused to quit until they got it right. Woody and Buzz, Pizza Planet, Andy's Bedroom, Sid--I only wish I had appreciated it for what it was upon its release. But I get it now. And I will be there for whatever this company does next.
