Critics Consensus

Entertaining as it is innovative, Toy Story reinvigorated animation while heralding the arrival of Pixar as a family-friendly force to be reckoned with.

Read Critics Reviews

David Denby New York Magazine/Vulture Toy Story takes a number of surprising turns, and though I didn't fall in love with it -- there's a lot of routine clobbering, scrambling, and zooming about -- I remained interested and happy until the end (and children, I think, will adore it). Dec 31, 2019 Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen The Hollywood Reporter With "instant classic" written all over it, Toy Story, the first full-length feature entirely composed of computer-generated animation, is a visually astounding, wildly inventive winner. Nov 29, 2018 Full Review Derek Malcolm Guardian The rivalry between Woody the cowboy and Buzz the astronaut is worked out as a direct parallel to any other family quarrels and it is this sense of oneness that gives the film its kick. Mar 20, 2018 Full Review Tom Hutchinson Radio Times John Lasseter has delivered a great adventure story that will not only entertain children but can also be enjoyed as a jokey parable by adults. Rated: 5/5 Sep 6, 2024 Full Review Gayle Sequeira BFI Children must eventually outgrow their toys and it’s this existential fear that informs the animated film. Even as its characters worry about getting left behind, the movie is a perfectly preserved snapshot of childhood, a time gone by. Jul 29, 2023 Full Review Korey Coleman Double Toasted Despite the animation not holding up, Toy Story is a flawless movie. The writing and characters are amazing.

Synopsis Woody (Tom Hanks), a good-hearted cowboy doll who belongs to a young boy named Andy (John Morris), sees his position as Andy's favorite toy jeopardized when his parents buy him a Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) action figure. Even worse, the arrogant Buzz thinks he's a real spaceman on a mission to return to his home planet. When Andy's family moves to a new house, Woody and Buzz must escape the clutches of maladjusted neighbor Sid Phillips (Erik von Detten) and reunite with their boy.
