Toy Story (1995) Revisited: Animation Movie Review

Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to another installment of Animation Movies Revisited, where we look back at some of the greatest animated films and rediscover the reasons they’ve left a lasting impression throughout the years. This time out, we’re returning to where it all began for Pixar Studios, with an investigative look into their first animated feature film, Toy Story.

Pixar’s Toy Story revolutionized the animation industry by being the world’s first computer-animated film. From this point forward, nearly every animation studio under the sun needed to rethink its strategy if it hoped to weather the oncoming storm and embrace the medium’s future. Created using brand-new animation techniques, Toy Story traveled a long and challenging road throughout production. Not only will we discuss those trials and tribulations in the latest episode of Animation Movies Revisited, but we’ll also discover how the adventures of Woody and Buzz Lightyear helped shape future generations.

Join us as we go back to where it all began for one of the most influential films ever made! See how Toy Story established a solid foundation for creativity that has held some influence over every animated film that’s had to follow in its footsteps.
