 toy story 1995 January 19, 2008
I absolutely love toy story 1 as much as toy story 2. this movie after a while has grown on me a lot and i watch this a lot now because at first i didnt like it. this is as great as the second one and my favorite character in both movies is rex the dinosaur. the best part of the movie is in the end where the family is moving and the toys are in the moving truck and woody and buzz are on the chase. the opening theme song you've got a friend in me by randy newman is one of my favorite tracks. this movie is as great as toy story 2, monsters inc, and ice age. get all four of these great movies.
A Classic, Gold Dust, A Gem December 18, 2007
I often wonder why I buy DVD's - after all I could hire them because I hardly ever watch them more than once. But not so Toy Story.
I have kids, but they just give the excuse to watch this film. It's just such a good story - forget the ground breaking animation (which you will enjoy too), just get lost in the narrative - great story, great casting.
No its not deep meaningful or complex, but there is just something brilliant about it - made by people who love film.
The very first feature computer anim, and still the best! June 23, 2006

Toy Story is definitely a film that a kid should watch before they are a teen. Its adventure and great sense of humour is appealing to adult audiences as well, and the atmosphere is brilliant. This really is a Toy Story. The plot is indeed quite simple, and it would have to be for a classic family. Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks)is a toy 'sheriff' doll, owned by a young boy called Andy. Woodys Toy life couldn't as Andy loves him a lot, but as Andy's birthday party arises tension fills the bedroom with each toy living in fear of being replaced. Everything goes well till the last birthday present is opened.. enter Buzz Lightyear!
I would be criminal to tell you the rest of the story, but as far as humour and adventure are concerned, this film impresses in both categories. The toys different personalities really contrast and make you laugh, from the smart-chat of Mr. Potatoe head, to Slinky who is Woodys best toy friend. Its so easy to follow this film - the plot and characters are easy to watch the computer graphics are top notch. Compared to modern day CGI kids films, this stands out purely because of its innocence - a simple story, theirs no techno-babble, and its really fun. It was the first complete animation via computer, and still the best!
C'mon, they're not lying down on the job... April 22, 2006

Do not be fooled by the meagre 4 stars given to this film. It is a stroke of pure genius and is certainly not just for the kids. Each time you watch it you see something that you haven't before and it's this depth and amazing attention to detail which makes this film unsurpassable. The characters have been cast to perfection and after watching this, you'll never look at any Tom Hanks character the same way again. The story is anything but simple and with such an array of great characters, it's impossible to not identify with at least one.
This film is not only worth a watch but also worth a buy as you will never ever get tired of watching it.

I have to say this film will be hard to beat. A beautifully animated film aIl bout toys which come to life in the absence of humans.....genius if you ask me. A must for adults and i suppose a few hours entertainment for kids seeing it is a cartoon and toys are in it.
i gave it 5 stars coz i couldnt give it more so this is the least it deserved. If you havent watched it........guess what...watch it now
