Woody
(Tom Hanks) is a cowboy doll owned by a boy named Andy Davis (John
Morris). Along with the boy’s other
toys, Woody comes to life when humans are not around. Among these toys, Woody also just happens to
be Andy’s most beloved toy. The day
comes, however, when Woody gets replaced by a toy space ranger named Buzz
Lightyear (Tim Allen). As Woody becomes
instantly jealous of Andy’s new prized possession, tensions escalate between
the two toys and a wild journey begins.
Toy Story is a pioneering film in the genre of
animated film. It marks the beginning of
Pixar’s reign in the genre and hails a new era in animation. Aside from the innovative achievement that Toy Story embodies, the film is
unbelievably entertaining. The story
itself is equally inventive as the animation, and that makes the film downright
magical. Toy Story gets a sober rating.
