A Perfect Start to a New Animation Era

Rating: 8/10 (10 June 2019)

This film was the very beginning of CG animated films that completely dominate the animation industry now. And seeing as it is the very first of its kind, a likely assumption is that it is not very good. However when you watch this film you will find out that is so far from the truth.
Toy Story not only started a new art style, a new era of film, comedy, and entertainment, but it also is a genuinely heartfelt incredible film! Pixar was able to make human beings feel sympathy for inanimate objects. That alone is noteworthy, but it goes even farther than that. This film is so entertaining and exciting; you will not want to look away from the screen. The animation has definitely aged, however that doesn't take away from the fact that this story and these characters are timeless. Woody and Buzz have cemented themselves in pop culture and all of our childhoods, and even when viewed on a critical level, these characters and this film is amazing!
Even though I adore this film, I feel like when compared to 2 and 3, this one is the worst out of those, because 2 and 3 discover a story that's even more intriguing and thought-provoking than this one.
There were some instances in this film that felt kind of cliche, and convenient, ie: the random gust of wind that made Buzz fly at the end. But in its heart, this film is far from bad, and is waaaaay better than most animated features being released today on every level (except animation).
Let's just hope the 4th one lives up to the trilogy.
