Toy Story (Spanish Edition)

Buy This Item Toy Story (Spanish Edition) by Walt Disney Video  Available from Amazon  $22.99  on 8-30-2008     There is greatness in film that can be discussed, dissected, and talked about late into the night. Then there is genius that is right in front of our faces--we smile at the spell it puts us into and are refreshed, and nary a word needs to be spoken. This kind of entertainment is what they used to call "movie magic," and there is loads of it in this irresistible computer animation feature. Just a picture of these bright toys on the cover of <I>Toy Story</I> looks intriguing, reawakening the kid in us. Filmmaker John Lasseter's shorts (namely <I>Knickknack</I> and <I>Tin Toy</I>, which can be found on the Pixar video <I>Tiny Toy Stories</I>) illustrate not only a technical brilliance but also a great sense of humor--one in which the pun is always intended. Lasseter thinks of himself as a storyteller first and an animator second, much like another film innovator, Walt Disney. <p> Lasseter's story is universal and magical: what do toys do when they're not played with? Cowboy Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks), Andy's favorite bedroom toy, tries to calm the other toys (some original, some classic) during a wrenching time of year--the birthday party, when newer toys may replace them. Sure enough, Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) is the new toy that takes over the throne. Buzz has a crucial flaw, though--he believes he's the real Buzz Lightyear, not a toy. Bright and cheerful, <I>Toy Story</I> is much more than a 90-minute commercial for the inevitable bonanza of Woody and Buzz toys. Lasseter further scores with perfect voice casting, including Don Rickles as Mr. Potato Head and Wallace Shawn as a meek dinosaur. The director-animator won a special Oscar for "the development and inspired application of techniques that have made possible the first feature-length computer-animated film." In other words, the movie is great. <I>--Doug Thomas</I><p> Reader Reviews I think Toy Story is very awesome and it is even better than the 2nd film even though it was great too. This film originally came out in November 1995, Pixar's first studio film and I could remember it in the theater. In this film, Rex is the BEST. The best chapter of this film is the moving truck chase near the end of the film. Not one moment of this movie is boring. This movie is very exciting and I watch this a lot, get the second film too.
