...The making of Toy story A preview for the next Disney/Pixar Film that was released - 'Monsters Inc' Tin Toy - Pixar animated feature By far the best thing is the Pixar feature which is a short cartoon that is quite amusing although you can tell it was made a lot earlier or the beginnings of Pixar's work as the graphics aren't quite as good as that of Toy Story.
