Day Eighty-Five: Toy Story

TOY STORY

Starring:
-Tom Hanks
-Tim Allen
-Wallace Shawn
-Don Rickles
-Annie Potts

Directed by: John Lasseter

Screenplay Credits:Joss Whedon, Joel Coen, Alec Sokolow, & Andrew Stanton

MPAA Rating: G


Classic toy Sheriff Woody is Andy's favorite toy... until Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear crashes the scene. An intense rivalry heats up between the two, leaving Andy's other toys caught in the middle. The mood is tense among the toys as Andy's family is preparing to move to a new house, and all are concerned with being left behind.

Interestingly, this movie bears the definite mark of Joss Whedon. I can't quite put my finger on it, but you can certainly tell he had a hand in the writing. TOY STORY is a hilarious film; truly a classic. It's equally fun for grown-ups and kids, and adults will especially love seeing some of their old favorite toys come to life in a totally new way.


FINAL GRADE: A

Off in search of infinity and beyond,

M.

  1. I love the song written for this by Randy Newman, You Have a Friend in Me.

    It was used for the closing video of my senior play.
