Kids are mad about it; it's far from painful for parents; the voice of Mr. Potato Head is Don Rickles. What more could you ask?

The delightful TOY STORY provides the answer to the a kid's most important question: What happens when you leave toys alone in a room? Well, it seems that they come to life! Young Andy's playthings, including the sardonic Mr. Potatohead, a Slinky Dog with a southern drawl, an anxiety-ridden dinosaur, and some very gung-ho toy soldiers, are led by Woody, a pull-string cowboy doll whom Andy adores. But on his birthday, Andy receives a self-possessed, gadget-laden spaceman action figure named Buzz Lightyear, who quickly becomes Andy's favorite. Soon the overlooked Woody becomes very jealous. But when a turn of events leaves Buzz and Woody lost in the "outside world," they have to get along in order to find their way home. And they'd better do it quickly, because the lad and his family are moving tomorrow! However, their trek is interrupted by Sid, Andy's cruel, malicious neighbor--who loves to destroy toys... [More]

Reviews for Toy Story
As such Toy Story in 3D is never overwhelming. Nor is it tedious, as many recent 3D vehicles have come too close for comfort to.
I think I speak for all adults and kids when I say I can't wait for playtime
Its lightness of touch has not diminished, nor has its near-miraculous kidult-fusion humour.
The film will intoxicate children and charm the parents in their company.
A magnificent film, created with a then unproven playful spirit that merges broad cartoon antics with an endearing eye toward nostalgia -- the heartbreaking years when wonder turns to knowledge and maturation.
In fact, there isn't a funnier, faster-paced movie around, nor one that is more visually arresting.
The wizards at Pixar and Disney have created a film that is unlikely to be forgotten in the next few years.
It doesn’t enhance the experience, because the film’s timeless appeal is down to great characters and wonderful storytelling; a classic that doesn’t need goggles or gimmicks.
A winning animated feature that has something for everyone on the age spectrum.
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.
The animation is dazzling, but the movie at heart has the simple charm of kids' puppet show.
Colorful and witty...the mixture of action and humor proves as irresistible as ever.
Captivating animated film that will win the hearts and minds of all who see it.
The two films and the 10-minute intermission run just over 3 hours, bit much for the little ones who find sitting still that long agonizing.
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.
