Toy Story is one of my all tme favourite anmated films, it is very funny with some great characters and also at the tme the animation techniques used were pretty new and very exciting.
Produced by Pixar the film tells the story of a little boys toys wh come to life when he is asleep and not in the room, by far his favourite toy is a cowboy called Woody whose voice is provided by Tom Hanks however one birthday he receives a new toy, a spaceman called Buzz Lightyear who is voiced by Tim Allen.
Buzz has a big ego and is a bit of an idiot however Woody is really jealous of the new toy that his replaced him in his owners affectons. The reason that Buzz has such a big ego is that he does not realise he is a toy but actually thinks that he is the space ranger. This leads to a number of comic stuations as he attempts to do the things that the cartoon version of Buzz can do such as flying.
The humour in this is excellent with lines to appeal to both adults and children, the contribution of the other toys is great and it is really well constructed with a good storyline and some funny scenes.
The animation takes a bit of getting used to at first when I saw it but now this style is the norm. It has a crips almost life like quality thanks to the use of computer animation and as such it translates really well onto the big screens you find in the cinema.
An excellent film and well worth watching
