Movie Reviews of Toy Story
Movie Review: Pull string Vs. Action figure
Summary: 5 Stars
Toy Story is one hour and twenty minutes and was released in theaters on November 22, 1995. Basically it is a story between an old toy versus a new toy. Woody is an old fashion pull string cowboy toy that is Andy's favorite toy. Woody is the leader of all of the other toys in Andy's room. The film opens on Andy's birthday and Woody sends Sarge and the Bucket 'O' Soldiers on a reconnaissance mission to spy on the birthday party so the other toys can calm down. They go through the whole stack presents and they come down to the last one that Andy's mom hid in a closet. Sarge is unable to see what it is due to the kids gathering around it. The kids and Andy head to his room to play, but in a few moments later are called away and the new toy is left in his room. Woody climbs to the bed to see the new toy. Woody discovers that Andy got a Buzz Lightyear action figure. Buzz does not realize he is just a toy and believes that he has crash landed on an alien planet. Buzz is a big hit with the other toys and soon becomes Andy's new favorite toy. All the attention that Buzz is getting makes Woody angry and jealous. Woody thinks of a way to get rid of Buzz and accidently knocks him out the window. Woody and Buzz wind up at Sid Phillips's home. Sid is known by Andy's toys as the toy killer. Sid likes to operates on toys and blow them up at well. Sid decides to blow-up Buzz, but due to a rainstorm has to wait the next morning. Woody and Buzz realize that they need each other and plan to help each other escape. Sid's alarm clock goes off before the two can escape. Sid takes Buzz to the backyard to get him ready to launch. Woody asks the mutant toys to help him because Buzz is the only friend he got. Woody and the mutant toys put into action a plan to rescue Buzz. The scare Sid out of his wits when the toys come alive and Woody starts talking and moving his lips. Sid flee for his life; scared of his toys. Woody frees Buzz and eventually returned to Andy. The movie closes with Andy getting a puppy for Christmas.

Summary of Toy Story
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.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
