Toy Story (1995)

Toy Story (1995, USA) C-81m. *** D: John Lasseter. Featuring the voices of Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Don Rickles, Jim Varney, Wallace Shawn, John Ratzenberger, Laurie Metcalfe. Animation milestone, this razzle-dazzle cartoon was the first one made entirely on computers. A young boys' favorite toy (cowboy Woody) gets unexpected competition from the latest birthday present, an action figure named Buzz Lightyear. However, they must help each other when they get lost and the family are about to move. Occasionally mean-spirited, sometimes too loud and aggressive, this film is not for small kids, but has some nice action sequences and a really adventurous storyline. Contains a lot of movie references. Followed by a 1999 sequel.
