An Instant Classic!

Rating: 10/10 (16 November 2009)

After a few short films and no major recognition-in 1991, Pixar set out to start the ball rolling for computer-animated entertainment and in 1995 unleashed not just a mere film but a work of art. An instant classic when first released...Toy Story went on to earn nearly $400 million worldwide and capture the hearts of children and adults alike with its unforgettable characters, magical musical score, hilarious script and the classic quote "To infinity and beyond".
Woody (Tom Hanks) is an old-fashioned pull - string cowboy doll living a life of luxury as the favourite toy of a young boy named Andy. Surrounded by a colourful cast of characters - such as the cynical Mr. Potato Head, the wisecracking Piggy bank Hamm and Woody's brown-nosing second-in-command Slinky Dog - Woody seems something of a king. However, when a new toy arrives on the scene-a high tech spaceman action figure named Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), Woody suddenly loses his popularity. But this toy comes with a surreal extra feature - he thinks he's the real Buzz Lightyear!! In the effort of removing Buzz as Andy's favourite toy-both toys are swept out of their home, and into the outside world where they unite reluctantly in friendship for an adventure home.
