So ingenious in concept, design and execution that you could watch it on a postage stamp-sized screen and still be engulfed by its charm.

Reviews for Toy Story
Remains a groundbreaking work in the field of animation, and is still a wonderfully entertaining film.
11/11/05
The film will probably be more fully appreciated by adults, who'll love the snappy, knowing verbal gags, the vivid, deftly defined characters, and the overall conceptual sophistication.
06/24/06
A winning animated feature that has something for everyone on the age spectrum.
08/18/08
A film of such striking individuality and uncompromising precocity that I left the theater thrilled with the knowledge that I had just witnessed cinematic history.
05/14/03
The one big negative about Toy Story involves Disney's overcommercialization.
01/01/00
As Lion King did before it, Toy Story revived the art of American children's animation, and ushered in a set of smart movies that entertained children and their parents. It's a landmark movie, and doesn't get old with frequent repetition.
05/03/07
Besides the eye-popping look of the movie, Toy Story offers a good tale told with zest and humor, which is a roundabout way of saying you'll believe those toys are real.
01/01/00
Time has been kind to it, and future years I imagine will still be kind; a classic is forever.
10/06/09
Captivating animated film that will win the hearts and minds of all who see it.

My 2-year-old runs around yelling, 'Buzz Lightyear to the rescue!' If that’s not a testament to the power this movie has to connect to children, I don’t know what is.
09/14/05
The 3-D viewing doesn’t make much difference...but it is a joy to see these superb films back on the big screen, even after dozens of DVD viewings.

Top CriticIf anything, it feels even fresher, funnier and more thrilling in today's landscape of over-studied demographically correct moviemaking.
10/04/09
The year's most inventive comedy.
08/31/08
Absolutely stunning and immensely enjoyable.
12/10/05
The result is a visionary roller-coaster ride of a movie.
01/01/00
Top CriticThe fresh look serves the story and is never allowed to overwhelm it, leaving a beautifully judged yarn to unwind and enchant a new intake of young cinemagoers.
10/04/09
Sheer delight, exhilarating and breathtaking.
01/01/00
Adult viewers also will have fun -- and not only because of the witty writing or the nostalgic trip back to the toy chests of our past.
01/01/00
The animation is dazzling, but the movie at heart has the simple charm of kids' puppet show.
