Liam Lacey Globe and Mail There's a giddy, absurd charm to the story, in which the strange setting only enhances the comfortable familiarity of the narrative and characters. Sep 10, 2025 Full Review Kevin McManus Washington Post The simple story is enlivened by the distinctive personalities of the toys, especially the irascible tater head, the supportive Bo Peep lamp (voiced by Annie Potts) and a neurotic plastic dinosaur Sep 10, 2025 Full Review Judy Gerstel Toronto Star More fun than Christmas mornings and birthday presents and winning a prize and making a friend, more fun than parking for free and falling in love and flying to Paris, more fun than anything you can think of is Toy Story. Rated: 5/5 Sep 10, 2025 Full Review Lane Mills InSession Film As old as it is, much like the franchise’s toys (aside from Wheezy, poor guy), it just doesn’t seem to age. It is, and always will be, a quintessential children’s movie. Rated: A Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn Me gusta el cine It may have been the first production of its kind, but the beauty of “Toy Story” lies in its characters, the themes it explores, and, of course, how funny it is. [Full review in Spanish]. Rated: 5/5 Sep 18, 2025 Full Review Gissane Sophia Lady Geeks Media It’s a story that still holds up because themes of identity, friendship, and lifestyle changes are a constant presence in all our lives, no matter how old we get or where we come from.
