An Instant Classic

Rating: 9/10 (9 August 2019)

Toy Story is such a great film. It holds up nearly 25 years later and was the first CGI movie ever made and was a rather impressive way to begin CGI movies.
The story is where a kid named Andy that has a bunch of toys that come to life when he is not around. His favorite doll Woody (played by Tom Hanks) is pretty much the leader of all the toys and is later replaced when it's Andy's birthday and gets a spaceman action figure, Buzz Lightyear (played by Tim Allen). Woody gets jealous and accidentally knocks Buzz out of the house. Woody tries to rescue him, and they end up in the next door neighbor's house, and are on the edge of being tortured by a vile kid named Sid. Woody and Buzz must escape the clutches of Sid and make it back to Andy before Andy moves to a new house.
The plot of the movie is very well constructed, and the pacing went great for an hour and 20 mins.
The animation, for not only 1995, but for a first ever CGI flick, is very impressive. Of course, the animation does improve later on in further years.
The voice cast was outstanding. People like Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Don Rickles, John Ratzenberger, Wallace Shawn, Annie Potts, and even Jim Varney all do wonderful jobs at voicing their characters and they were very good choices as well.
All in all, Toy Story is such a great childhood movie and is one of the best Pixar movies ever.
