Rating: 10/10 (29 November 2010)

The toys of a small boy have their cosy lives thrown into disarray with the arrival of a new space toy, and the family's imminent move to another home...
The first real mainsteam adult-friendly computer animated film. Actually the first real computer-animated film. Toy Story took a cutesy premise and made it believable with a very good storyline, excellent voice acting and amazing design, especially for the time even though this holds up exceptionally well now.
More important than this is the longevity of the characters, you can have the prettiest backdrop and brightest colours going but if a kid doesn't like the characters in the thing it isn't going far.
Go to a birthday party for any kid under 10 and you'll likely see a Buzz Lightyear or Woody the cowboy. More important this film can be watched and rewatched by anyone from 3 to 43 and there will be something to enjoy, again and again.
As a side-note: My videoshop password was Woody for about 5 years thanks to this movie.
What you hope kids will learn: Be good to your toys. What they'll take away: Space toys are cool. And Cowboy toys are cool. And Dog toys are cool. And I need one of those Dinosaur toys. Oh, oh, oh and a Mr Potato Head... And a Piggy! And...
