Toy Story

Toy Story Review

When it comes to animated classics, "Toy Story" is definitely one title that is among a great group of titles. Also, it was the first film for the CGI animation company Pixar, who would become the tour-de-force of creating animated CGI hits such as "A Bug's Life", "Cars", "Monsters, Inc.", "Finding Nemo", "The Incredibles", "Up", "Wall-E" to name a few.

And set for launch on June 18, 2010 is "Toy Story 3" and to celebrate the upcoming film, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment will be releasing "Toy Story" and "Toy Story 2" on Blu-ray.

The first "Toy Story" was co-written and directed by animator and Pixar Chief Creative Officer John Lasseter who has worked with Disney since 1983 with "Mickey's Christmas Carol" and co-written by Pete Docter, Andrew Stanton and Joe Ranft.

Released in 1995, "Toy Story" was a major success as the million dollar film went on to make over 1 million worldwide.


VIDEO:

"Toy Story" is presented in 1080p High Definition (1:78:1). For a film that was created back in 1995, "Toy Story" still looks beautiful on Blu-ray. Sure, the detail is nowhere near what we see on the "Toy Story 3 teaser (included on the special features) but the film just looks fantastic on Blu-ray. For example, seeing the detail that was made for Rex the Tyrannosaurus, to the threading of the chairs, the vibrant colors of the film, the detail of the road and again, even for a film that is 15-years-old, it still rivals a few of the CG animated film and TV shows that we see in the present. The film looks absolutely beautiful.

AUDIO & SUBTITLES:

"Toy Story" is presented in English 5.1 DTS-HD Maser Audio and English 2.0 DTS-HD, English DVS 2.0 Dolby, Spanish and French Dolby Digital EX. And again, for a 15-year-old film, "Toy Story" sounds magnificent on lossless. From dialogue and Randy Newman's music coming from the front and center channels, surround and rear surround channels for the effects and LFE during the booms. Audiophiles will be pleased that the lossless audio is quite immersive. So, expect scenes such as Sid blowing up his action figures, the rocket on Buzz's back ignited, fallen toys and toys being scattered and much more. I was very impressed by the lossless audio.

As for subtitles, subtitles are presented in English SDH, French and Spanish.

SPECIAL FEATURES:

"Toy Story" includes the following special features:

* The Story: An Exclusive Sneak Peek at Toy Story 3 - (2:02) In this short featurette, "Toy Story 3 director Lee Unkrich introduces viewers to new characters that will appear on the third film and the all star cast voicing the new characters.
* Buzz Lightyear Mission Logs:
o Episode One: Blast Off - (3:27) Buzz reports back about his adventure to the International Space Station.

EXTRA:

Included in the "Toy Story" Special Edition is a DVD of "Toy Story. The DVD is featured in Widescreen (1:78:1) - Enhanced for 16×9 Televisions and is in English 5.1 EX with English SDH subtitles.

JUDGMENT CALL:

"Toy Story" is one of those films that is just a must-own in whichever format its released in and now that it will be available on Blu-ray, "Toy Story: Special Edition" is definitely worth it. I was impressed by how this 15-year-old film looks on Blu-ray and how much of the detail still pops out today. As mentioned earlier, despite its age, it still looks better than a few CG animated TV shows and even some films that were released in the last five years.

Everything about this film still holds up today. The CG animation, the voice acting is fantastic and overall story is well-written.

"Toy Story" is where the Pixar magic all began. This film catapulted Pixar Animation Studios as the most well-known animation studio in the planet and since then, every film created has been successful domestically and worldwide.

I know for many owners of the previous DVD release, one must wonder why must they upgrade again. It all comes down to picture and audio quality. And like most Pixar Blu-ray releases, this special edition Blu-ray release is full of special features. This Blu-ray release is a no-brainer, in fact, you want to own both "Toy Story" BD releases because they are both quite worth it and watching it on HD was much better of an experience than I expected.

I will say that if you own the "Ultimate Toy Box Set" that was released in 1999, you will want to hang on to that set because although the Blu-ray's do have new additional content, a lot of content from the Ultimate Toy Box Set are NOT included on the Blu-ray release.

Granted, I know this will be a bummer for many, but the picture quality and the audio quality is so much better on the Blu-ray release plus you get new additional content. So, the Blu-rays are definitely worth owning.

Overall, "Toy Story: Special Edition" is a fantastic film and because it is a pretty impressive upgrade, the Blu-ray release is the definitive version to own at this time. Definitely recommended!

Toy Story Overview

There is greatness in film that can be discussed, dissected, and talked about late into the night. Then there is genius that is right in front of our faces--we smile at the spell it puts us into and are refreshed, and nary a word needs to be spoken. This kind of entertainment is what they used to call "movie magic," and there is loads of it in this irresistible computer animation feature. Just a picture of these bright toys reawaken the kid in us. Filmmaker John Lasseter thinks of himself as a storyteller first and an animator second, much like another film innovator, Walt Disney.

Lasseter's story is universal and magical: what do toys do when they're not played with? Cowboy Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks), Andy's favorite bedroom toy, tries to calm the other toys (some original, some classic) during a wrenching time of year--the birthday party, when newer toys may replace them. Sure enough, Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) is the new toy that takes over the throne. Buzz has a crucial flaw, though--he believes he's the real Buzz Lightyear, not a toy. Lasseter further scores with perfect voice casting, including Don Rickles as Mr. Potato Head and Wallace Shawn as a meek dinosaur. The director-animator won a special Oscar for "the development and inspired application of techniques that have made possible the first feature-length computer-animated film." In other words, the movie is great. --Doug Thomas
