Toy Story turns 30 years old!
By: Jake Rajala
We all remember the first Pixar film, Toy Story. It showed the importance of having a childhood-like spirit, regardless of age. Andy is a typical young kid that loves to play with his toys. The main toy and character is named Woody and the voice of Woody is Tom Hanks. Buzz Lightyear is also in the piece and he’s played by Tim Allen.
Well, after Andy leaves, his toys come to life and hang out. They love to stay in Andy’s room. After all, the doorknob is high for them.
This transformation of ordinary things coming to life after people leave is a common thing. “The Secret Life of Pets” showcases animals that act somewhat more human after their owner leaves. Furthermore, “Night at the Museum” talks about historical figures that come out of their position and move around the museum at night. On a side note, it would be very cool if museums made this possible in the future.
As noted by ABC News, Disney and Pixar wanted to make one computer generated animation movie. This film is none other than Toy Story. It came out in 1995.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that it scored 100% on Rotten Tomatoes due to it’s visual effects, actors, and theme. The director Pete Docter knocked the film out of the ball park.
Pixar isn’t the only company to make animated films. DreamWorks Animation has spewed out many animated films, such as Kung Fu Panda and Shrek.
Pixar has really touched my heart over the past decade. I was in love with “Cars” and a child, partially due to them having a video game. My mother and I watched “Up’ recently, and that is quite surreal. WALL-E and Soul are also classics in my opinion.
Ever since “Toy Story”, there have been three other Toy Story movies. There will also be a sixth Toy Story movie. It was hard for my mom to watch Toy Story 4, where Andy goes off to college, as my brother was 18 and a senior in high school at the time.
