Entertaining as it is innovative, Toy Story reinvigorated animation while heralding the arrival of Pixar as a family-friendly force to be reckoned with.

There's a giddy, absurd charm to the story, in which the strange setting only enhances the comfortable familiarity of the narrative and characters.

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

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.

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.

5/5

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].

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.

The original and greatest of Pixar’s films! The cast is perfect! One of the best animated/computer animated movies ever made! It has a little bit of everything action, fighting, torture, revenge, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles, and a little humor.

Loved the movie and glad they showed it this year although I think it could wait until later in the year that way they could show a sneak peak of Toy Story 5
