Toy Story is one of my all tme favourite anmated films, it is very funny with some great characters and also at the tme the animation techniques used were pretty new and very exciting.

1995 was a seminal year for Disney for it was the year that the immortal Toy Story was released. Following in the groove that "Tron" had so neatly eked out, Toy Story went where no movie had gone before. It was the first completely computer generated animation feature film with spectacular results! Now part of Disney folklore, Toy Story was a co-production of Disney and Pixar studios and released with an element of trepidation. Tron had not been the hit anticipated and the creators worried that Toy Story might fail in a similar fashion. They needn't have worried. TS is all about the premise of what would happen if a child's toys really ...  Read the complete review

It was once said by some flailing celebrity that the best cartoon or kids show is found enjoyable to people of all ages. The type where parents won't dread watching it with their offspring. These are generally few and far between and there are only a few that come to mind instantly. The Simpsons is loved by all, possibly more so by the older generation as they will actually understand the jokes, instead of just giggling whenever Homer says "Doh!" which seems to be the case with sprogs under 12. Duckman (what?) is aimed towards adults, and succeeds as it is currently developing a cult following with it's intelligent, albeit Americanised humour. ...  Read the complete review

I had this film on VHS (remember those?!) when it came out, which was over 10 years ago now, but it's kept it's appeal as a beautiful Disney CGI classic. Toy Story was written & directed by John Lasseter, who has had much experience in CGI and family films as a director, producer and writer, so he seems extremely multitalented. Films he has worked on include Cars, Toy Story 2, A Bugs Life, Wall-E, Ratatouille and Finding Nemo. Rated certificate PG, this film is family friendly. Although it may appear to be a children's film, I would argue it's suitable for all ages, small & big kids alike. It's a very popular film, one which will be ...  Read the complete review
