Liam Lacey Globe and Mail Sep 10
There's a giddy, absurd charm to the story, in which the strange setting only enhances the comfortable familiarity of the narrative and characters. Go to Full Review
Kevin McManus Washington Post Sep 10
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 Go to Full Review

5/5
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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]. Go to Full Review
Gissane Sophia Lady Geeks Media Sep 13
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. Go to Full Review

Monroe Dec 2 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.
