  1. The movie that made Pixar really significant, and one of the most nostalgic movies I have known of. I love the characters, the design, the story, and the animation. It's because Pixar is one of the animation studios that can do this extremely well. Expand
  2. Toy Story is a good movie. A great movie even. The first part of a brilliant trilogy, Toy Story sets the foundations for two exceptional films. As good as it is, I just think it is lacking something. Nevertheless, it's still a brilliant film and one you ought to see. Expand

    There's nothing special about this movie, it has only received acclaim because it was the first computer animated film, I'd compare its plot to Ant Bully or Open Season, they are about the same level. Expand

    Complete rip off of the underrated cult-classic `The Brave Little Toaster'. Just about every Pixar film hailed for its 'originality' has its roots planted elsewhere. Monsters Inc = Aaaah! Real Monsters, The Incredibles = Fantastic Four, so on and so forth. Expand
