Washington Post
Kevin McManus
What the bright minds of Walt Disney have produced here is a must-see movie. Must-see, must-talk-about, must-plan-to-see-again.

100
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
A visionary roller-coaster ride of a movie.

100
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
The first animated feature produced entirely on computer is a magically witty and humane entertainment, a hellzapoppin fairy tale about a roomful of suburban toys who come to life when humans aren't around.

100
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Stack
A gem of fast action, sophisticated wit and inspired comedy.

100
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Liam Lacey
There's a giddy, absurd charm to the story, in which the strange setting only enhances the comfortable familiarity of the narrative and characters.

100
San Francisco Examiner
Barbara Shulgasser
The film will intoxicate children and charm the parents in their company.

100
The New York Times
Elvis Mitchell
A parent-tickling delight, is a work of incredible cleverness in the best two-tiered Disney tradition. [22 November 1995, p. C9]

Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Although its computer-generated imagery is impressive, the major surprise of this bright foray into a new kind of animation is how much cleverness has been invested in story and dialogue.

90
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
Though computer-animated rather than hand-drawn, this wry, rippingly paced buddy movie is as delightful in its own way as any of Walt Disney's traditional fairy tales.

90
Variety
Leonard Klady
The very good news is that, in addition to stylistic innovation, the film sports a provocative and appealing story that's every bit the equal of this technical achievement.

88
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
The computer-generated effects are a marvel. It's something of a bonus that the characters, dialogue, and story provide entertainment value of their own.

80
Newsweek
David Ansen
Once again Disney has come up with a winning animated feature that has something for everyone on the age spectrum.

80
The New Yorker
Bruce Diones
The easy-to-follow screenplay, about the rivalry between two toys -- cowboy Woody and spaceman Buzz Lightyear -- should excite young children; teen-agers and parents can enjoy the brilliantly executed action sequences.

80
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar Animation Studios join forces on an entertaining computer-generated, hyperrealist animation feature that's also in effect a toy catalog.

75
USA Today
Susan Wloszczyna
The first all computer-animated feature, which brings a bedroom of playthings to bouncy life, is yummy eye candy spiked with 3-D-style tactile treats.

TV Guide
Staff(Not credited)
Clever, fast-moving and unobtrusively self-conscious.
