To Infinity and Beyond

Rating: Null/10 (5 December 2019)

I recently decided that I want to write a review for each of the films that I've ranked as a 10 (the list is small). So here we go, kicking things off with Toy Story! Everything about the original film from Pixar is perfect, genius and completely engaging and entertaining. What other animated flick references the likes of films such as 'The Shining', 'Star Wars', 'Alien' or 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'? This film encompasses so many wonderful things about growing up. Birthday parties with your friends, spontaneous trips to eat pizza and play arcade games, Christmas with the family and, of course, the thrill of imagining up an incredible world in which you and your toys can live and interact. Toy Story's characters are amazing, its animation was (and still is) stunning and its themes of friendship, loyalty and learning to get along with those around you make it a film in which both children and adults can both relate to and learn from.
