Toy Story [VHS]

Product Details

The 10th anniversary edition of the landmark film repackages most of the extras found in the original Ultimate Toy Box set plus a few more. Two keen retrospectives are new, one with an assortment of talents including Roy Disney and Peter Jackson chiming in on the film's impact. The other is a roundtable with Lasseter and three of the creators simply talking about the experiences without--thankfully--any cutaways to noisy film clips. There's a load of other extras since the Ultimate Toy Box was one of the first and best DVD sets. Missing (besides the second film, which will be released separately) is the effects- and music-only tracks. Added is a whopping DTS soundtrack along with a remixed Dolby 5.1 track. The DVD has a higher transfer bit rate for a better picture, but only high-end enthusiasts will notice it. Since the film is a digital-to-digital transfer, both versions are eye-popping. A must-have set unless you have the Ultimate Toy Box.

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. 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. --Doug Thomas

(5 stars) - Toy /story
Was so happy when I found Toy Story for a special little boy's birthday. That is all he asked for and since it has been vaulted by Disney I almost gave up until I found it on Amazon. And it got here just in time. Amazon saved the day!

(5 stars) - Toy Story
The service and quality of this product was excellent. I am always pleased with the service Amazon and its sellers provide. Maybe that is why I keep going back.

(5 stars) - Toy Story 10 Anniversity Edition
I purchased The Toy Story DVD for my 3 year old greatgranddaughter. She loves this movie and wants to watch it every day. I'll be so glad when Toy Story 3 comes out next summer. The DVD was first rate, no scratches, or skips. The shipping was also done very fast. I will buy from this seller again. Thanks
