About Toy Story in brief
Toy Story is a 1995 American computer-animated comedy film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The first installment in the Toy Story franchise, it was the first entirely computer- animated feature film, as well as the first feature film from Pixar. The film features the voices of Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Don Rickles, Wallace Shawn, John Ratzenberger, Jim Varney, Annie Potts, R. Lee Ermey, John Morris, Laurie Metcalf, and Erik von Detten. The plot focuses on the relationship between an old-fashioned pull-string cowboy doll named Woody and an astronaut action figure, Buzz Lightyear, as they evolve from rivals competing for the affections of their owner Andy Davis. It was the highest-grossing film during its opening weekend, eventually grossing over USD 373 million worldwide. It received critical acclaim, and holds a rare 100% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It is considered by many to be one of the best animated films ever made. In 2005, its first year of eligibility, it was inducted into the National Film Registry for being \”culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant\”. The film launched a media franchise consisting of three sequels, starting with Toy Story 2. In a world where toys are living things but pretend to be lifeless when humans are present, a group of toys, owned by young Andy Davis, are caught off-guard when Andy’s birthday party is moved up a week, as his family are preparing to move the following week.
The toys are relieved when the party appears to end with none of them being replaced by new toys, but then Andy receives a surprise gift – aBuzz Lightyear action figure. Buzz impresses the other toys with his various features, and Andy begins to favor him, making Woody feel outcast, compared to the newer, sleeker more advanced Buzz. As Andy prepares for a family outing called Pizza Planet, his mother allows him to bring one toy. The other toys rebel against him, except Bo Peep and Slinky Dog, condemning him for stranding him out of jealousy. They manage to make their way to the restaurant by stowing away on a delivery truck. A fight breaks out which causes the two to fall out of the van and the family leaves without them. The family stops for Pizza Planet for the final time, but ends up accidentally knocking out a radio, leading to a fight between the toys. The fight causes the family to leave without them, and the two toys get stuck in a game of crane stowing, which causes them to fall in a full crane truck and get stuck for a full game of football. The movie is considered to be the most successful animated film of all time. It won three Academy Award nominations and won a Special Achievement Academy Award. It also won a Golden Globe and a BAFTA Award for best animated feature film. It went on to be released in North America on November 22, 1995.
