By far my favorite Pixar movie and my second favorite Disney and animated film in general. Joint with 2 and 3

No wait, I literally cannot rank all three Toy Story movies because i love them all equally. But if i had to choose i would probably say 1,3 and then 2. I mean what's not to love about Toy Story. A sharp-witted, cleverly written story about toys coming to life. I mean, do you notice why there hasn't been another big or successful film following the same idea of toys coming to life. Because, this is the perfect one. Nothing will ever be able to top it. They've set the bar way too high. Such a great premise which is played off brilliantly. Tom Hanks is my favorite ever animated voice actor. The energy he radiates through his words prove why he is my favorite actor of all time. His best quote OBVIOUSLY being "YOU ARE A TOYYYYY!!!!!" Tim Allen also does an excellent job. Especially, with the 'Mrs Nesbitt!!' scene and bits from earlier on when he believes he is a Space Ranger. Other actors like John Ratzenberger and Don Rickles do well and Wallace Shawn does a great job with voicing the lovable dinosaur Rex. However, this is by far my favorite Pixar film, but not my favorite Disney or animated film in general. I would have to give that to 'The Lion King.' At the time, this film would have been so technically impressive. I mean this was mid 90's and the affects still look great today. With such a great premise for a film, it plays it to it's advantages and making everyday boring objects seem like an obstacle for the toys. Probably the best example of this is 'The Claaaw.' Yes, the arcade machine that is often criticized for scamming people by making them pay money for a slim chance of winning a soft toy is used as a plot device. But does that stop me from getting that Spider-man or Ant Man plushie. Hell no! The world they create through the film is so creative and well done that it's hard not to call the film a masterpiece. So let's talk about the plot. Woody is a cowboy toy who is the leader of all the other toys in Andy's room. The toys job is to be played with and keep Andy happy. Oh and also not to be seen alive. Anyway, on Andy's birthday a new toy shows up. A popular space ranger toy named Buzz Lightyear. However, Buzz actually believes he is a space ranger and not a toy. He proves it by 'flying' when instead he is just using a hot wheels track and a lampshade to swing around. This leads top one of the greatest film quotes of all time "That wasn't flying that was falling with style." However, both the toys and Andy seem to admire Buzz leaving Woody jealous. Which refers to the astronaut takeover in the 1960's when kids stopped idolizing cowboys and began idolizing astronauts and 'space rangers.' Woody creates a plan to get rid of Buzz by pushing him out of the window. It works but leads to him and Buzz getting stranded at a gas station. They manage to follow Andy to a Pizza and arcade building (basically Chuck E Cheese) where they are captured by evil next door neighbor Sid who blows toys up for fun. Here, Buzz learns through a TV advert and a fall down the stairs that he is a toy after all in quite a powerful and emotional scene. Buzz goes insane while Woody tries to escape with him. Woody realizes that Sid i going to blow him and Buzz up on the same day that Andy is supposed to move house. So Woody hitches a plan using some of Sid's poor toys who fell victim to Sid's evil experiments. Woody uses his string voice to warn Sid about the toys before coming to life to say the words "So play nice!" in one of the greatest movie scenes of all time. Buzz finally comes to his senses and him and Woody manage to get to the moving truck in time. So, anyway Toy Story is an animated masterpiece which will always be remembered, not only for it's stunning visuals but it's great story and characters.
