Toy Story was a fantastic animated movie by the pioneers at Pixar. Having been a fan of John Lasseter during his early "film short" days, I was very excited about this feature-length movie, and I was not disappointed. Every moment of this story, like many Pixar films, is just plain fun and moving. The only criticism I have is that the "good family" is a single parent home, and the "bad family" is a two-parent home. I think children's film should promote a strong family unit such as that seen in The Incredibles. This is a minor flaw that is far outweighed by the brilliant writing behind Toy Story.
What really floored me is that a sequel could actually be better than the original! It is possible, and Toy Story 2 proved it! They did not capitalize on the original characters or try to repeat the gags of the first movie. Rather, they introduced new characters and created a whole new story. I have wished, many times, that I had some kind of clout to do voices for Pixar. Their work is so much fun.
