Toy Story is a 1995 American computer-animated comedy film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures.

Set after the third film, Toy Story 4 follows Woody (Hanks) and Buzz Lightyear (Allen) as the pair and the other toys go on a road trip with Bonnie (Madeleine McGraw), who creates Forky (Hale), a spork made with recycled materials from her school.

To make more money. Not only was Toy Story 4 a guaranteed box office hit, but it would help their then upcoming streaming service Disney+. Disney's multi-year contract with Netflix was set to expire in 2018. They were set to own all the streaming rights for their films released starting 2019.

Woody (Tom Hanks), a good-hearted cowboy doll who belongs to a young boy named Andy (John Morris), sees his position as Andy's favorite toy jeopardized when his parents buy him a Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) action figure. Even worse, the arrogant Buzz thinks he's a real spaceman on a mission to return to his home planet. When Andy's family moves to a new house, Woody and Buzz must escape the clutches of maladjusted neighbor Sid Phillips (Erik von Detten) and reunite with their boy.Toy Story / Film synopsis

Pixar, in full Pixar Animation Studios, motion-picture studio, from 2006 a wholly owned subsidiary of the Disney Company, that was instrumental in the development and production of computer-animated films in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

On one hand, Toy Story favors a perfect screenplay, which is awarded an Oscar nomination, voice talents, and new ideas that sound great in the eyes of kids and even their parents. On the other hand, it is a pioneer in utilizing computers in animation productions.

It's remarkably poignant and should appeal to audiences of all ages -- from parents and children to those who grew up loving Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks), Buzz (Tim Allen), Jessie (Joan…

This film challenges Woody - and his audiences - to think hard about second chances, about changing how you look at yourself, about finding and embracing a new purpose in life. As such, Toy Story 4 might be the most philosophical movie you'll see this year, in the best possible way.

The fourth entry in the Toy Story franchise is the highest-grossing installment after making $1.073 billion worldwide in 2019.

This is smart, soulful, sublime film-making: somehow entertaining and profound all at once. THE STORY: Sheriff Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks) is trying his best to adjust to life with Bonnie (Madeleine McGraw) - the little girl who inherited Andy's beloved childhood toys at the end of Toy Story 3.

Growing Up- Pretty much the main theme in this entire franchise. Each movie explains that the toys are suffering the pains of losing their owners as they watch them grow up and there is often times nothing they can do to replicate their happiness. Friendship! Buzz and Woody becomes friends in the first m...

Toy Story was initially based on the Oscar-winning animated short Tin Toy, which was about a toy named Tinny who reluctantly allowed a baby to play with him so he won't cry.

Pixar. After Toy Story, almost all animation studios wanted to follow in Pixar's successful footsteps, all the way down to their style. Many studios sought out “the Pixar look”: extremely high quality, physically based, and in some cases almost photorealistic.

Early in Pixar's life, co-founder Alvy Ray Smith thought the name should be "Pixer," since it sounded like a fake Spanish verb for "to make pictures." But another co-founder, Loren Carpenter, liked "Radar," since that sounded futuristic. So they combined the two: "Pixer + Radar = Pixar!" Catmull writes.

Toy Story is the first full length feature film produced entirely using the technology of computer animation. The main characters, Sheriff Woody and Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear; are toys that come to life when humans aren't around.

Families can talk about friendships, loyalty, and rivalry in Toy Story. Young kids are exploring all these issues, and the movie has great models. Andy seems to spend more time playing with his beloved toys than watching TV or playing video games.
