There is greatness in film that can be discussed, dissected, and
talked about late into the night. Then there is genius that is
right in front of our faces--we smile at the spell it puts us into
and are refreshed, and nary a word needs to be spoken. This kind of
entertainment is what they used to call "movie magic," and there is
loads of it in this irresistible computer animation feature. Just a
picture of these bright toys reawaken the kid in us. Filmmaker John
Lasseter thinks of himself as a storyteller first and an animator
second, much like another film innovator, Walt Disney.
Lasseter's story is universal and magical: what do toys do when
they're not played with? Cowboy Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks), Andy's
favorite bedroom toy, tries to calm the other toys (some original,
some classic) during a wrenching time of year--the birthday party,
when newer toys may replace them. Sure enough, Space Ranger Buzz
Lightyear (Tim Allen) is the new toy that takes over the throne.
Buzz has a crucial flaw, though--he believes he's the real Buzz
Lightyear, not a toy. Lasseter further scores with perfect voice
casting, including Don Rickles as Mr. Potato Head and Wallace Shawn
as a meek dinosaur. The director-animator won a special Oscar for
"the development and inspired application of techniques that have
made possible the first feature-length computer-animated film." In
other words, the movie is great. --Doug Thomas

Great for Kids, Fun ViewingReviewed by John F. Rooney, 2010-02-05
This is the first in the "Toy Story" franchise (1995) and the first
film animated solely by computer. It establishes a family of toys
owned by a boy named Andy who plays rough with his toys and writes
his name on his favorites. This is really an action flick with toys
rather than people being the superheroes engaged in intrepid
rescues.
The toys fear birthdays and Christmases because Andy may get a new
toy as a present; this new one may win him over, and some of his
older ones may end up in a dumpster or out at a yard sale.
The leader of the toy family is Woody (Tom Hanks), a cowboy puppet
who plays some electric sounds if a wire in his back is pulled. Of
course these toys can talk. The sequel to this movie was very good
in filling in the back stories of the toys (Woody was a spin-off
toy from a popular old TV series), and it individualized them. Bo
Beep with her little crook in this one seems to have a crush on
Woody.
On his birthday Andy gets a new toy, Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen),
whom he prefers to Woody at first. Buzz thinks he's a real spaceman
which makes him take crazy risks. Buzz and Woody have to save toys
from the nasty, sadistic next-door kid named Sid and his vicious
dog. Sid turns toys into mindless mutants. Sid really is an evil
piece of work.
People are the bad guys. Andy, a typical kid, is fickle about his
toys. People are also dangerous for the toys because they are
unpredictable.
This is a real kid's movie without any adult-aimed gags. When
viewed with the second in the series, it provides some fun viewing
because there's so much growth in "Toy Story 2."
Toy Story (10th Anniversary Edition)Reviewed by Arnita D. Brown, 2010-01-28
A little boy named Andy loves to be in his room, playing with his toys, especially his doll named "Woody". But, what do the toys do when Andy is not with them, they come to life. Woody believes that he has life (as a toy) good. However, he must worry about Andy's family moving, and what Woody does not know is about Andy's birthday party. Woody does not realize that Andy's mother gave him an action figure known as Buzz Lightyear, who does not believe that he is a toy, and quickly becomes Andy's new favorite toy. Woody, who is now consumed with jealousy, tries to get rid of Buzz. Then, both Woody and Buzz are now lost. They must find a way to get back to Andy before he moves without them, but they will have to pass through a ruthless toy killer, Sid Phillips. I loved the story and liked the animations a lot. This movie is pretty much perfect. It's adventurous, exciting, entertaining, and good for the whole family.
DisappointedReviewed by Lani Eljaik, 2010-01-26
I ordered this movie, Toy Story, for a Christmas present on December 3, 2009 and supposedly it was shipped on December 6, 2009 and was to arrive to my house no later than December 28, 2009. Unfortunately, it never arrived and I contacted the seller to get a tracking number so that it can be tracked through the postal service & I never received that number either. The seller offered to refund me my money or send a replacement on December 31, 2009 and I chose the refund due to it being well passed Christmas. It is now January 26, 2010 and still no refund or movie. I am very disappointed in this purchase because there was no hesitation to take my money; however, it seems that my order has been forgotten.
