The casting was also spot on. As well as Hanks and Tim Allen, additions like Don Rickles, John Razensberger, Jim Varney, Wallace Shawn and R. Lee Emery were just as great.
I've never gotten around to watching the fourth and final film, but I would definitively say both 2 & 3 are worth watching and reviewing. I especially think that they manage to end the third film in a really touching and perfect way.
@@philoebeddo8724 4th one also fell into the generic kids movie tropes a bit much for my taste. Like the "loud tough acting characters that are small/cute, that are only there to make jokes"
Definitely watch all of them! They all hold their weight and they’re definitely longer. You won’t be disappointed! So glad you finally got to watch Toy Story!
I haven’t seen 4, but 2 and 3 are as good, if not better, than the first. 3 is very emotional, and really cuts for anyone who had some favorite toys growing up.
"Hey, Buzz! You're flying!" "This isn't flying, this is falling with style!" "To infinity and beyond!" Fun Fact: This was the first animated film in Oscar history to be nominated for a Best Screenplay Academy Award - Adapted or Original. Method Animation Fact: The animation team perfected the movement of the toy soldiers by nailing a pair of sneakers to a sheet of wood and trying to walk around with them on. Stealth References Fact: The toolbox on top of the milk crate that Woody (Tom Hanks) is trapped in is a Binford, the same tool brand that Tim Allen used on his television show Home Improvement (1991). The carpet in Sid's (Erik von Detten) house has the same hexagonal pattern as the carpet in the Overlook Hotel from The Shining (1980). Animation Shortcuts Fact: Some 3D effects were too complex, or even impossible, to calculate at the time of this film; subtle tricks are used to avoid them. Examples: explosions, thus the viewer doesn't see Combat Carl's demise; hair dynamics, so Andy, Sid, and Molly all have short hair while Andy's mother's hair is always tied back in a simple-to-model pony tail; and flying water droplets, thus the viewer doesn't see any liquid when Woody dunks his burning head into a bowl of cereal.
Yes yes yes, watch the whole series! Totally worth it, very nostalgic (not for the movies themselves… I’m 42… but for the toys they show and the attachment we have for them)
Besides the fact that Toy Story has an awesome story with great characters and fantastic voice work, this was also the first time that cinema audiences saw an animated movie that was made with computer animation... It was a mind bending experience! I remember sitting in the cinema almost being distracted from the story because my eyes and my brain was trying to figure out how the hell they managed to get that super polished 3D look! The first three movies all fit together as a unit, and that unit is one of the best movie trilogies ever made.
You nailed it in this reaction. It was so nice to see you enjoying this as an adult and relating to how a child would appreciate it. It definitely speaks to older audiences as well. The Pixar team are excellent storytellers and they had compelling material to work with. Hanks and Allen were perfect, as were the animators who put visuals to the dialogue. The sequels are well worth it.
Should we watch the rest of the Toy Story movies? What, you even have to ask?!?!? YES!!!!! #2 is probably my favorite of them all. And you wanted to see more? That's what sequels are for my friend!
Wallace Shawn was the voice of the dinosaur. He played the villain Vizzini (the Sicilian criminal mastermind hired by Prince Humperdinck to kidnap Princess Buttercup) in The Princess Bride.
I went to the cinema see this with the rest of my 'geek squad' - we weren't bothered about the story but were way more interested in the computer graphics and production etc. However, when we left later we were all about the story (and that one of the crew had been a bit of a 'Sid' in his own childhood) and how brilliant it was. I would HIGHLY reccomend watching the others in the series. Great reaction as always.
Honestly I think any Pixar movie you haven't seen is worth reacting to on the channel, especially the ones from 1995-2010 which are all classics in their own right, with the Toy Story series being the obvious highlight.
Shan, you will always manage to surprise with your onpoint movie analysis and reactions are so funny. I hope personally you will continue Pixar films later. I am adult and I do enjoy them much. Finding Nemo, Monster's Inc and their sequels/prequels are absolutely blast. UP is really, really emotional roller coaster... But Toy Story began it all.
I was eight years old when Toy Story came out; I saw it over Thanksgiving 1995, with my mom, aunt, and younger brother. I had seen movies in the theater before, but this was the first time I really knew what was going on from beginning to end. I remember my mouth dropping open and mouthing the words "Wow!" when Woody and Buzz flew for the first time. You could say this movie began my love of movies and acting. Another story: my younger brother and I were both in college when Toy Story 3 came out (I was in my last year, he was two years away from graduating). He's known for being very picky about movies; I'm definitely the more emotional of the two of us. It was a nice brother bonding moment; neither one of us cried during the movie, but we both came close, and it was definitely the most philosophically deep conversation we've ever had about a film. We sat in the driveway of our mom's house and chatted about it for about half an hour.
I will say this: as grown man, the 3rd one literally made me cry, because it touches on something most people can relate to if they had toys during their childhood. I have not seen the 4th one *yet*. I'm sure it's fantastic too. Please react to all of them, they're all excellent. :)
Buzz having a breakdown during his Tea Party is one of the funniest moments in the entire Toy Story Series……”the hat looked good? Tell me the hat looked good…the apron is a little much”
When talking about the animation, you have to keep in mind that this was the first computer animated movie EVER! I was a kid back then and remember how we were absolutely blown away that something like this is even possible and exists!
This is a great film to show your first child as you prepare for your second. Woody & Buzz have the classic “big brother/little brother” dynamic . It’s a beautiful allegory.
Something that a lot of younger people miss is the metaphor for how space toys replaced western toys for children beginning with the 1960s space race. Before the mid-1960s, children played “cowboys and indians”, and there were a lot of TV shows and movies that were westerns. When the USA started having the Apollo missions, fascination with space became a thing. Children wanted rocket ships instead of cowboy toys. Woody being replaced by Buzz is a metaphor for that.
This was the very first full-length computer animated film. It was pretty mind-blowing when it first came out, even all the adults wanted to go see it.
Tim Allan and Tom Hanks are such an unlikely combination but they manage to be such a perfect pair despite Toy Story already being a star-studded cast. Buzz and Woody are an instant classic.
I just noticed the toolbox that is used to weigh down the milk crate in Sid’s room has a “Binford” logo on it. Binford was the name of the tool company that sponsored the show “Tool Time” on “Home Improvement” staring Tim Allen.
That was the trifecta: Batman, Power Rangers, and Toy Story. That was basically my life from 1993-1998. Then I became fascinated by Marvel comics and horror movies.
Toy Story 1 and 2 are incredible classics and a must-see for any cinephile. Toy Story 3 I would also say was a remarkable surprise for most people, especially to any who had doubts of the story finding its footing again 10 years later. The franchise as a whole is well worth your time :) If there are any other Pixar films you haven't seen (especially from their early days), I would be thrilled to enjoy more of your reactions and commentary! I know you'll appreciate how Pixar's command of technology, artistry, and storytelling continued to break new ground
Randy Newman was a well-known songwriter in the seventies, too, known for ironic 1st-person narratives about problematic characters. Check out the albums "Sail Away" and "12 Songs". And then songs such as "Baltimore," "Short People," and "I Love LA".
One of my dad's core memories of me, as a kid, was of me just begging for a Buzz Lightyear. I never did get one but I did get a Tickle Me Elmo for Christmas in 1996.
Toy Story is what made the theatrical animated movie industry as we know it today. It's what put Pixar on the map and inspired competition from Dreamworks Animation and virtually every other animated movie studio in theaters. Pixar's movies were a new standard of quality for over a decade, and the only thing that really bothers me about their rise is that it led to traditional animation's decline in theaters. The sequels were the only Pixar sequels for over 15 years because they wouldn't produce sequels if they felt they couldn't live up to the originals, and in the case of Toy Story 2 and 3, they really do.
I always say Toy Story is the best movie franchise because all the sequels are solid, can’t go wrong 1.Toy Story 2. Toy Story 3 3. Toy Story 4 4. Toy Story 2
Oddly enough, the story premise of toys that come to life when kids aren't around was also done by Jim Henson in a made-for-TV movie in 1986, The Christmas Toy. Of course the two productions are entirely independent, and neither's existence detracts from the other.
I never got around to watching the fourth installment but the other sequels are solid. Part 3 really got me in the feels and I loved the experience of taking my son to watch it in theaters. I’d say they’re worth the review.
Amazing. Probably saw This 100 Times as they came Out when my kids were young. 2&3 are great. 3 especially was emotional given that my kids were much older When we all Saw it.
what a brilliant movie! my son was born in 1998 and he basically grew up with Toy Story. the performances are great, each character was perfectly executed. Great choice Shan
Toy Story has held up well over time because it doesn't just depend on technology. The story, characters, acting, and music are all great, so it's still worth watching even though the animation has been surpassed by later films. It's like The Wizard of Oz, which remains a beloved classic even though it was filmed using 1939 technology. Did you notice that the toys looked more real than the people? Characters like Sid look crude in comparison to Andy and Buzz. I'm sure this was deliberate. It inverts the real world, in which people are real and toys are artificial.
18 years old I was working in a toyshop when the Buzz Lightyear action figure was released. And oh were they rare. We only had 50 to sell. 30 of those were already pre-ordered and paid for, the owner put on a 40% fee to guarantee you had one before X-Mass. 5 were for staff, without a discount, if we wanted one, and the rest went on the shelf. Which was pointless as in the first 5 minutes of being open they'd all gone. I had one though. And I really wish ebay was around back then as I could have sold it for silly money. It was bigger than that tickle me Elmo.
To this day, I cannot fathom the short-sighted doofery that made Pixar refuse to market the tortured toys. Can you imagine how many they would have sold? (I have a particular desire for the baby-headed metal spider, myself.) But for some reason, they didn't want to do it, and passed up all that potential. One of the worst marketing blunders ever; I hear they've regretted that decision for years.
So this movie was not rendered with typical off the shelf consumer computers with Intel CPUs, but on a cluster of 117 workstation from Sun Microsystems, each running either dual or quad hyperSPARC CPUs and had 192 to 384 megabytes of RAM each. Each frame took 1 to 3 hours to render.
It was lovely watching you watch Toy Story for the first time! So many memories and been a while since I watched it myself. Please react to the other Toy Story movies as well.
It's worth watching all the rest, they are all great, Toy Story is one of the few to few, that actually get's sequels right. Telling a new story while adding to the lore not taking away from it.
A precursor to this movie would be The Brave Little Toaster. It's 2D animation, but it's the same kind of idea. Also some of the same people who worked on it also worked on Toy Story. It's free on TH-cam soif you ever want to check it out.
I both love and hate this movie. The story, the acting, the technology at the time, all extremely impressive. On the reverse side, this success of this movie was pretty much the death of traditional hand drawn animation, which I much prefer. CG is great and all, but it doesn't have that warmth and humanity that hand drawn has. But Pixar almost always puts out quality movies, so I can't hate on it too much. As someone in their mid-40's, I grew up in the heyday of fantastic animation in the 80's.
Honestly, as much as I'd like to credit this movie's plot as being original, there are three instances that preceded it that this movie directly (and possibly indirectly) draws from. One is the 1987 movie The Brave Little Toaster (which I highly recommend watching, btw) and the year before in 1986 there was the Jim Henson TV production, The Christmas Toy (a childhood favorite of mine), which spun off its own series in 1994 called The Secret Life of Toys. That said, being the first fully 3-d animated feature is very much worth noting for Toy Story. And it's still a damn good movie. The second and third are very much worth watching, though I didn't care much for the fourth.
Please review them all. My fav is 3!!! But, 2 is great and 4 is the perfect finale-Keanu is so good in that one. Would love to see your reaction to them all.
We were 18 when the movie came into the cinemas and I went with my friends to see it. We did not care that it was a kids movie, it was because it was the 1st movie completely animated by computer and we were into gaming and such things and also interested in how the graphics were done.

The first three Toy story movies are the most consistently great series in cinematic history.
I'd also argue the 4th is extremely mature and a solid follow up.
@@Zombie_Trooper Respectfully disagree

Randy Newman wrote I Love L.A. which ended up being the theme song for 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.
The biography of Steve Jobs has a lot of interesting background about this movie and the Pixar studio.

The humor in this is so good
You're a very lovable mix between a pyro/computer nerd and an artist/art critic. Good reaction. -Longtime subscriber.
Ironically another film about a toy coming to life (Child's Play), its owner's name is Andy. So, I'm wondering if this film was referencing that film.
There is short on a blue ray of finding Nemo that is rex partying in a bathtub discotech. It's stellar.
This was my #2 movie of 1995, behind "Dead Man Walking."
I don't think subsurface scattering was even a thing back then, which makes the choice of animating shiny plastic toys a smart one.
Shiny plastic for the win! Good choice of story to facilitate easier rendering.
18 years old I was working in a toyshop when the Buzz Lightyear action figure was released. And oh were they rare.

Which was pointless as in the first 5 minutes of being open they'd all gone. I had one though. And I really wish ebay was around back then as I could have sold it for silly money. It was bigger than that tickle me Elmo.
On the commentary, they talk about how the animators actually identified with Sid a lot, for the reasons you talked about.
The first 3 are great, no real drop off, and with new plotlines and continuing character development.

One is the 1987 movie The Brave Little Toaster (which I highly recommend watching, btw) and the year before in 1986 there was the Jim Henson TV production, The Christmas Toy (a childhood favorite of mine), which spun off its own series in 1994 called The Secret Life of Toys. That said, being the first fully 3-d animated feature is very much worth noting for Toy Story. And it's still a damn good movie. The second and third are very much worth watching, though I didn't care much for the fourth.
Toy Story 2 is my favorite of the trilogy. To me, it was perfect on all fronts. DEFINITELY see that one, at least.
Please review them all. My fav is 3!!! But, 2 is great and 4 is the perfect finale-Keanu is so good in that one. Would love to see your reaction to them all.
Who else wanted a buzz light-year after seeing this movie? I was delighted I actually got one
To infinity.. and beyond!
The 2nd one is my favorite I recommend all of them!
We were 18 when the movie came into the cinemas and I went with my friends to see it.
We did not care that it was a kids movie, it was because it was the 1st movie completely animated by computer and we were into gaming and such things and also interested in how the graphics were done.
Watch all three. Ignore the fourth, as it completely nigates the sentiment and message of the third.
I recommend all four. They may not all measure up to the original, but they are all enjoyable.
Love R. Lee Ermey as the Army guy
2 is great, 3 is a masterpiece, 4 is the one that wasn't needed but still enjoyable.
My kids grew up on the Toy Story movies. Even after they grew up, they’d go watch the newest Toy Story. Great memories.
Dude!! I never realized you had all that hair.. Big fan of your reactions man.
