Don't pass this up.....

Rating: 9/10 (23 September 2008)

I have personally seen Toy Story 1 at least 20 times with my children and by watching part 2; I must admit they're both thumbs-up movies. I thought how anyone could make such movies so real until the 2nd one came along. The first Toy Story does not picture human beings very much but those characters like Woody, Buzz Light-year, Mr. Potato-Head, etc. are so true-to-life that you take them for real. Every movement they make mimics a real life. A salute to the cast, crew members, producers, and also Disney and Pixar for a job well done. The creative energy and technology that were put into these films remain impressive today, and the themes are timeless. One doesn't usually pin too much of 2nd's and 3rd's, especially when the first one is already so good. Toy Story 2 had proved me wrong. Now I think, if I see the 2nd, I wouldn't want to see so much of the first anymore. Toy Story 2's human characters are just so real and adorable. You must watch both, the first, then the second, in any case, to appreciate them both. It is not a continuing story line but you have to watch the first to know how they all came about. It's a wonderful movie which will touch the hearts of children and adults alike. Highly recommended again If you have kids you and must own this DVD collection. It's a movie they can be watch over and over, plus its part of history. The first Toy Story was the first 100% computer generated movie. That alone makes it worth while, but adds the fact that it is a great movie and you have a winner. Toy Story II is one of the exceptions when it comes to sequels. It is actually better than the original. I have put this movie on my list of "All Time Favorites."
