Toy Story [Special Edition]

Director: John Lasseter

Overview

This innovative and fast-paced adventure, the very first all-computer-generated animated feature film, from Disney and Northern California's Pixar will delight children, techies and everyone in between. It not only features incredibly detailed animation, it also contains a solid, multi-layered story that centers on young Andy's toys. When the boy is around, they behave as normal inanimate playthings, but the minute he leaves, they come to life. Andy's favorite toy, and leader of the close-knit group, is Woody, a cowboy marionette. The other toys include Slinky Dog, Hamm the Piggy Bank, the acerbic Mr. Potato Head, Rex the timid tyrannosaur, and the lovely Bo Peep. Woody enjoys his long-time status as top toy, but his world nearly crumbles when Andy comes home with the dazzling high-tech astronaut toy, "Buzz Lightyear." Not only is Buzz a superhero with neato gadgets that amaze the others; he is also a really nice toy, eager to help the others. Everyone likes him, except for poor usurped Woody, who hates playing second fiddle. If Buzz has one Achilles heel, it is that he doesn't realize that he is a toy. Although Woody initially tries to accept Buzz, his resentment begins to build up until, desperate to regain his favored position with Andy, Woody "accidentally" pushes Buzz out of the window. In the toys' world there is no place more fearful than the outdoors. Sure enough nasty neighbor Sid has a penchant for blowing up toys with firecrackers and using the shattered parts to make monstrous creations that might even scare director Tim Burton. Soon after the incident, basically good-hearted Woody begins feeling guilty and decides he must save Buzz from certain destruction. He and the other toys set out to find him and end up on a riotous, exciting chase to save their friend.

Editorial Reviews

Toy Story is the rare film that viewers will remember for years afterward simply for the wordless wonder it inspired in them. The first of its kind, Toy Story arrived as a fully mature organism, as flawlessly animated as it is brilliantly scripted and energetically voiced. It's the kind of singular experience that prompted many amazed viewers to return for a second screening in the theater. While the animation was not yet sophisticated enough to render truly realistic human characters, the digital medium perfectly captured the essential plasticity of the cornucopia of playthings that populate any young boy's bedroom. The notion that toys have a life separate from their owner's play world is a masterstroke, leading to one eye-popping scene after another. The most memorable is a reconnaissance mission by a platoon of small green army figures, who slide down a jump rope and stake out a spot in a potted fern to spy on Andy opening his birthday presents. This early scene gives a preview of the imagination to follow: the soldiers gallop along on the plots of land attached to their feet, and the "camera," as it were, captures them from all angles, like a seasoned auteur. When one of the figures gets injured, accidentally stepped on by Andy's mother, it becomes clear just how quickly director John Lasseter has given these tiny beings a soul that the viewer cares about intensely. To enumerate the screenplay's many clever triumphs would be impossible, but they brim with the limitless possibilities of this medium and these characters. It's also a very funny film, and Tom Hanks and Tim Allen set the standard for a wonderful vocal cast, throwing themselves into the roles with contagious gusto. Toy Story is as sure a guarantee of enjoyment for all ages as anything previously committed to film.
