Toy Story
SCORE: 91
Toy Story was a revolutionary movie that made a lot of people pay
attention to Pixar. I remember seeing this movie at the theater and
being very impressed. Disney has produced a wonderful package of Toy
Story in Blu-ray. The package Family Friendly Gaming was given has the
Blu-ray, and DVD discs. There is exclusive Toy Story 3 content on these
discs as well. Toy Story tells the story of toys that come to life when
humans are not looking. They have hopes, and fears as they are there for
the child Andy.
Visually Toy Story still looks really good. The toys look very
realistic, and have fantastic animation. The attention to little details
is absolutely amazing. Along with the usage of certain toys in specific
situations. A few toys are in peril, and there is one scary moment.
Children are drawn into Toy Story, and so are adults. After watching
this Blu-ray disc I have been looking at my kids toys, turning away, and
looking back. Sure it is too much to wish for, but this movie makes it
look so real.
I remember being surprised that such big names as Tim Allen and Tom
Hanks did voices in Toy Story. Now they seem like perfect fits for those
roles. I also believe that their voice acting has made them larger stars
than any in person acting they have performed. Toy Story has some great
music that fits this movie perfectly. There are some very memorable
lines in this movie that people repeat all the time.
If I could work one other place aside from Family Friendly Gaming, it
would be Pixar. The behind the scenes special features about their
company thrilled me. The scooter races, and John Lasseter's car will
stay with me for years. There is also deleted scenes, making of, Buzz
balloon, film makers reflect, and a ton more of special features. This
package is the definitive Toy Story package that will thrill millions of
families.
The menu screens of Toy Story have an intelligent design. The only issue
we ran into is some of the words are small. We have noticed that in
quite a few Blu-ray discs over the years though. The storyline touches
on issues like jealousy, accepting your role, and knowing who you really
are. Toy Story is the kind of movie that can be enjoyed by all ages. All
of us here at Family Friendly Gaming had fun watching Toy Story on
Blu-ray.
Woody really grows in Toy Story. He was top dog of the toy world until
Buzz Lightyear was purchased. He had to learn to cope with being
downgraded. Buzz had to eventually come to grips with the reality that
he was a toy - not the real Buzz Lightyear. There are some bad things
characters do to one another. There is also heroism, and helping one
another out. I really enjoyed Toy Story, and the lessons it teaches.
