To Infinity and Beyond!

Rating: 10/10 (20 November 2017)

This is the film that started one of the best animation companies, Pixar, in 1995. Toy Story is one of those revolutionary movies! It's the first full-length computer animated film ever! Toy Story inspired companies to make animated movies in it's style, even Disney, whom was struggling after it's Renaissance in the 90's, was attempting in Pixar's technique. Now Pixar could've just created a mediocre movie, and still get some points for it's technological achievements. But Pixar didn't do that, in fact, they made one of the best animated films ever made. Even though Toy Story isn't a 100% original idea, they made an excellent variation of it and it had it's identity. All of the acting is perfect! Tom Hanks as Sheriff Woody is a perfect casting choice, along with Tim Allen as Buzz, and every single other character. I loved Tom Hanks performance in movies such as Forrest Gump(1996) and The Green Mile(1999) but honestly him as Woody is his most memorable performance, even though he's perfect in those movies also. This film also had some emotional moments, helping Pixar get an identity of having those kind of moments in their movies. The emotional moments are nothing compared to the sequels of Toy Story, but they are definitely good. My only issue is the animation, for it didn't all age too well...especially the humans. This may be the reason why the main characters in the older Pixar movies in particular are animals, creatures, or inanimate objects(referring to toys). Even with it's aged animation, it could surprisingly be better than some animated movies later on...specifically direct to DVD movies like Norm of the North(2016) or Foodfight(2012), which had a budget of 65 million dollars...all of that money was wasted. Despite it's few flaws, Toy Story is a magnificent movie that pretty much everyone has at least seen once! I give this movie: 9.7/10=10/10 overall
