Synopsis: Woody, a traditional pull-string talking cowboy, has long enjoyed a place of honor as the favorite among six-year-old Andy's menagerie of toys. Quick... Woody, a traditional pull-string talking cowboy, has long enjoyed a place of honor as the favorite among six-year-old Andy's menagerie of toys. Quick to calm their anxieties about being replaced by newer arrivals, Woody finds his own confidence shaken, and his status as top toy in jeopardy, upon the arrival of Buzz Lightyear, simply the coolest space action figure ever made. Woody plots to get rid of Buzz, but things backfire and he finds himself lost in the outside world with Buzz as his only companion. Joining forces to find their way home, the two rivals set out on an adventure that lands them in the clutches of Sid, a sadistic neighborhood kid who is notorious for dismembering and reassembling "mutant" toys in his bedroom. As "guests" of Sid and his dog, Scud, the two fugitive toys forge a genuine friendship and learn that only through mutual trust and respect do they have any chance of survival. [More]

Apesar de representar um imenso avanço tecnológico, a força do filme reside no carisma de seus personagens e no charme de sua história.

When Woody perks up in the opening scene, it's not only the toy cowboy who comes alive - we're watching the rebirth of an art form.

Introduced not one but two indelible characters to the pop culture pantheon: cowboy rag-doll Woody (Tom Hanks) and plastic space ranger Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen). [Blu-ray]

it is easy to see how virtually everything that is good in animation right now has some small seed in Toy Story

Though some of the animation seems dated compared to later Pixar efforts and not nearly as detailed, what's here is done impeccably well.

Perhaps the film is meant as a pre-emptive sop to any resistance to a new medium.

Time has been kind to it, and future years I imagine will still be kind; a classic is forever.

So ingenious in concept, design and execution that you could watch it on a postage stamp-sized screen and still be engulfed by its charm.

Turns out the real magic is nothing to do with technology: it's in the words, the voices, the story. But then, a child could have told you that.

Its lightness of touch has not diminished, nor has its near-miraculous kidult-fusion humour.

The 3-D viewing doesn’t make much difference...but it is a joy to see these superb films back on the big screen, even after dozens of DVD viewings.

It doesn’t enhance the experience, because the film’s timeless appeal is down to great characters and wonderful storytelling; a classic that doesn’t need goggles or gimmicks.

As such Toy Story in 3D is never overwhelming. Nor is it tedious, as many recent 3D vehicles have come too close for comfort to.

The fresh look serves the story and is never allowed to overwhelm it, leaving a beautifully judged yarn to unwind and enchant a new intake of young cinemagoers.

There’s no denying 3D adds extra texture to Pixar’s seminal 1995 buddy movie, emphasising Buzz and Woody’s toy’s-eye- view of the world.

If anything, it feels even fresher, funnier and more thrilling in today's landscape of over-studied demographically correct moviemaking.

The two films and the 10-minute intermission run just over 3 hours, bit much for the little ones who find sitting still that long agonizing.

The 3D revamp adds an intriguing new dimension to an already wonderful film that's both genuinely engaging and laugh-out-loud funny.

A magnificent film, created with a then unproven playful spirit that merges broad cartoon antics with an endearing eye toward nostalgia -- the heartbreaking years when wonder turns to knowledge and maturation.
