Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com: There is greatness in film that can be discussed, dissected, and talked about late into the night. Then there is genius that is right in front of our faces--we smile at the spell it puts us into and are refreshed, and nary a word needs to be spoken. This kind of entertainment is what they used to call "movie magic," and there is loads of it in this irresistible computer animation feature. Just a picture of these bright toys reawaken the kid in us. Filmmaker John Lasseter thinks of himself as a storyteller first and an animator second, much like another film innovator, Walt Disney.

The 10th anniversary edition of the landmark film repackages most of the extras found in the original Ultimate Toy Box set plus a few more. Two keen retrospectives are new, one with an assortment of talents including Roy Disney and Peter Jackson chiming in on the film's impact. The other is a roundtable with Lasseter and three of the creators simply talking about the experiences without--thankfully--any cutaways to noisy film clips. There's a load of other extras since the Ultimate Toy Box was one of the first and best DVD sets. Missing (besides the second film, which will be released separately) is the effects- and music-only tracks. Added is a whopping DTS soundtrack along with a remixed Dolby 5.1 track. The DVD has a higher transfer bit rate for a better picture, but only high-end enthusiasts will notice it. Since the film is a digital-to-digital transfer, both versions are eye-popping. A must-have set unless you have the Ultimate Toy Box.

Lasseter's story is universal and magical: what do toys do when they're not played with? Cowboy Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks), Andy's favorite bedroom toy, tries to calm the other toys (some original, some classic) during a wrenching time of year--the birthday party, when newer toys may replace them. Sure enough, Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) is the new toy that takes over the throne. Buzz has a crucial flaw, though--he believes he's the real Buzz Lightyear, not a toy. Lasseter further scores with perfect voice casting, including Don Rickles as Mr. Potato Head and Wallace Shawn as a meek dinosaur. The director-animator won a special Oscar for "the development and inspired application of techniques that have made possible the first feature-length computer-animated film." In other words, the movie is great. --Doug Thomas

A Modern Masterpiece in Every Way

by Mark Baker 2005-09-21, 32 people found this review helpful

Cowboy doll Woody is Andy's favorite toy, and as part of that comes the privilege of being the leader of all the other toys. His world is suddenly turned upside down when Andy gets a Buzz Lightyear action figure for his birthday. Suddenly, Woody finds himself in danger of being replaced as Andy and all the toys flock to Buzz. Worse yet, Buzz doesn't know he's a toy. He thinks he's the real Buzz Lightyear. But when the two toys get lost a couple days before Andy moves, they'll have to work together to get home. Can Woody work with Buzz when they don't have the same goal?

I can't believe it's been ten years since this movie came out. It's had an immeasurable impact on the animation field and movies in general. At the same time, its flaws are evident. The humans look as plastic as the toys, and the fur on the dog is laughable. Computers have come a long way in ten years.

Whether this movie was any good or not, it would have been an important milestone. Fortunately, it succeeds on an entertainment level as well. The story is masterfully told revealing plot points and character equally. The movie is extremely funny as well; with lots of jokes for the adults in the audience and some classic lines I quote all the time. Plus it introduces us to a Pixar staple, the climax that will not quit.

Pixar has released great DVD's from the start, and this two-disc set is no different. The movie is transferred directly from the digital files, so the picture is perfect. Sound is wonderful in two separate 5.1 surround tracks. Many of these extras are from the Ultimate Toy Box release of a few years ago, and they are well worth having. The commentary is very informative. The deleted scenes are interesting, but it's obvious why they were deleted. The new features looking back at the movie from ten years later are wonderful as well.

This is a ground breaking movie that is just as much fun to watch as it is historic. I hadn't watched it in quite some time and was reminded just how fun it is. I've got to watch it more often.

You can never go wrong with Woody and Buzz Lightyear!

by Manny Hernandez 2006-03-29, 15 people found this review helpful

10 years. 20 years. It will be 50 years and this movie won't get old. It doesn't matter that animation is 100 times more detailed and cooler today than it was in 1995, when the movie first came out. The strength of this movie is in the story. There is so much territory to explore on this flic, and you have so much fun while you watch it, that you will never grow tired of it. And, with a 2.5-year old who loves to see Woody once and again, I can tell you it really doesn't get old, no matter how many times you watch it!

The second disc does a superb job of accompanying the Pixar classic, going into the legendary details that have made Pixar's DVDs famous. There is plenty to sink your teeth into, for the die-hard fans and those who are simply a bit curious alike. The entire package is a movie for all ages, for the ages. Get it and enjoy it once and again. The truth is you can never go wrong with Woody and Buzz Lightyear!

A keeper

This is a very cute movie about friendship that should be in everyones collection. The story is great for the kids, but the adults in the family will love the "in" jokes that go over the head of the little ones.

Best looking movie on DVD

by David M. Berriman 2006-02-21, 9 people found this review helpful

The Toy Story movies are, imo, the BEST looking movies currently available on DVD. With a top quality HD plasma especially, your jaw will hit the floor EVERY time you watch one of these movies.

To boot, the stories are excellent and funny. The characters are charming and fun. The music upbeat and catchy. The guy who said "once I realized my kids would be imitating this stuff, I couldn't throw it out fast enough" really needs to lighten up.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if kids whose parents are this "prudish" today will actually end up being the ones with complexes and / or behavioral trouble later on.

Toy Story, a "bad influence"? get real.

How can you not fall in love with this movie

by Janice Pence 2008-02-16, 12 people found this review helpful

This is an instant hit with my kids. The toys come alive when humans are not around. It makes for interesting conversation to say the least. I've even found my kids talking to their toys - just to see if they will come alive.

Great animation, great for all ages. Wonderful movie.

Good and bad in new version

by Mark J. Evans 2005-10-10, 46 people found this review helpful

if you already own Toy Story, you may be asking yourself if you want his new deluxe version. Well, there is good and bad in this version.
First the Good:
It looks and sounds great! If you have a good tv and sound system, it will be a nice bump from the first version.
A nice second disk of extras.
Now the bad:
They have made unadvertised changes in the movie. they have "cleaned it up" And example is in the original Woody purposefuly gets Buzz's name wrong. at one point he calls him "Buzz Light Beer." In the cleaned up version he now says "Buzz Light Snack." Ok, not a big change, but it does ruin the joke. It's not exactly the movie you remember.

Astounding Animation and Amazing Storyline!

by 1999-08-17, 7 people found this review helpful

I've seen many animated movies where the plot goes nowhere; one would expect the same here because so much time was devoted to the animation. Not so. I've never seen such attention to detail--check out the scuff marks on the bedroom door. I've also never seen a movie that tells such a great tale. I was astonished by this movie while I was pregnant with my daughter, and now that she's into movies, I love that she's chosen Toy Story as her new favorite. Young and old will certainly enjoy this movie time and again--I know I have!

Watch it over and over to catch the details and the puns

by David Havard 1999-12-10, 15 people found this review helpful

Something for everyone. Me and my two kids (17 & 13) have watched this at least 10 times. The puns are fantastic... "Hey look! I'm Picasso".. "Uh, I don't get it" and Mr. Potatohead taking off his lips and... well, you need to watch it. You may even start using lingo like "gettin' kinda tense aren't ya?" in your daily conversation.

One of the greatest movies of all time returns on DVD!

by John Lindsey 2005-10-21, 6 people found this review helpful

In a world where toys come to life when no one is around, a cowboy doll named "Woody" ( voiced by Tom Hanks)was Andy's favorite toy but now that it's his birthday he gets a new favorite which a space ranger action figure named "Buzz Lightyear" ( voiced by Tim Allen) that talks, glows in the dark, uses lasers and has wings starts to make woody a bit jealous. He one day pushes Buzz out of the window that leads him and woody on a adventure to return back home all the way from Pizza Planet to the evil toy torturing kid Sid's house as they must return back to their master before they move.

A momumental movie that became the world's first computer animated motion picture and made movie history! it has became a phenomenon ever since it's release on november 18th 1995, critics and audiences were amazed by the wizardy and storytelling of this movie. Alongside this movie is an impressive cast that includes Annie Potts, Jim Varney ( Ernest), John Ratezenberg, Wallace Shawn and Don Rickles, this movie is a true classic that will be loved for generations.

The new 2-Disc DVD includes great picture & Sound thanks to THX digital! there's a sneek preview of Pixar's upcoming "Cars" movie and a boatload of extras like commentary, documentaries including on how it inspired Peter Jackson and George Lucas, deleted scenes, a claw game, publicity, design galleries, easter eggs, language reel, set design and more. If you missed out on this on DVD before, then get this movie cause it makes a great addition to your collection.
