Synopsis:
Toy Story was the first feature-length film animated
entirely by computer. If this seems to be a sterile, mechanical means of
moviemaking, be assured that the film is as chock-full of heart and warmth as
any Disney cartoon feature. The star of the proceedings is Woody, a pull-string
cowboy toy belonging to a wide-eyed youngster named Andy. Whenever Andy's out of
the room, Woody revels in his status as the boy's number one toy. His supremacy
is challenged by a high-tech, space-ranger action figure named Buzz Lightyear,
who, unlike Woody and his pals, believes that he is real and not merely a
plaything. The rivalry between Woody and Buzz hilariously intensifies during the
first half of the film, but when the well-being of Andy's toys is threatened by
a nasty next-door neighbor kid named Sid -- whose idea of fun is feeding stuffed
dolls to his snarling dog and reconstructing his own toys into hideous mutants
-- Woody and Buzz join forces to save the day. Superb though the computer
animation may be, what really heightens Toy Story are the voice-over
performances by such celebrities as Tom Hanks (as Woody), Tim Allen (as Buzz),
and Don Rickles (as an appropriately acerbic Mr. Potato Head). Director John
Lasseter earned a special achievement Academy Award, while Randy Newman landed
an Oscar nomination for his evocative musical score.
