David Denby New York Magazine/Vulture Toy Story takes a number of surprising turns, and though I didn't fall in love with it -- there's a lot of routine clobbering, scrambling, and zooming about -- I remained interested and happy until the end (and children, I think, will adore it). Dec 31, 2019 Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen The Hollywood Reporter With "instant classic" written all over it, Toy Story, the first full-length feature entirely composed of computer-generated animation, is a visually astounding, wildly inventive winner. Nov 29, 2018 Full Review Derek Malcolm Guardian The rivalry between Woody the cowboy and Buzz the astronaut is worked out as a direct parallel to any other family quarrels and it is this sense of oneness that gives the film its kick. Mar 20, 2018 Full Review Justin Brown Medium Popcorn I don't see how anyone can say this isn't a perfect film. The story is tight, it had some strong emotional beats, and the voice acting is spot on. Rated: 5/5 Apr 9, 2025 Full Review Brandon Collins Medium Popcorn This is an animation classic. I love rewatching this from start to finish. It's impact on cinema is undeniable. Rated: 5/5 Apr 9, 2025 Full Review Tom Hutchinson Radio Times John Lasseter has delivered a great adventure story that will not only entertain children but can also be enjoyed as a jokey parable by adults. Rated: 5/5 Sep 6, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
