A
"A magnificent film, created with a then unproven playful spirit that merges broad cartoon antics with an endearing eye toward nostalgia -- the heartbreaking years when wonder turns to knowledge and maturation."  BrianOrndorf.com  Brian Orndorf

4.5/5
"The wizards at Pixar and Disney have created a film that is unlikely to be forgotten in the next few years."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

B+
"Colorful and witty...the mixture of action and humor proves as irresistible as ever."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

"Captivating animated film that will win the hearts and minds of all who see it."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

3.5/4
"The one big negative about Toy Story involves Disney's overcommercialization."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

4/4
"A film of such striking individuality and uncompromising precocity that I left the theater thrilled with the knowledge that I had just witnessed cinematic history."  Palo Alto Weekly  Jeanne Aufmuth

7/10
"Cute, inventive, entertaining little toy adventure for young and old alike."  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

9/10
"Toy Story is long on sentiment and short on story; but has anyone ever complained? Surely not when the characters are so appealing and the visuals so extraordinary."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

5/5
"My 2-year-old runs around yelling, 'Buzz Lightyear to the rescue!' If that’s not a testament to the power this movie has to connect to children, I don’t know what is."  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

"Not only a spectacular technical achievement but also a compelling story full of imagination."  Montreal Film Journal  Kevin N. Laforest

7/10
"Pixar has made a charming movie carrying their current plot concepts and animation techniques to what appears to be about the limit. Toy Story is a lot of fun."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Mark R. Leeper

4/4
"Absolutely stunning and immensely enjoyable."  TheMovieReport.com  Michael Dequina

5/5
"It is the unpretentious imagination and energy of the people behind the story and the outstanding vocal performances that make the movie an instant classic."  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

5/5
"If anything, it feels even fresher, funnier and more thrilling in today's landscape of over-studied demographically correct moviemaking."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

4/4
"Like the transcendent long shot of Buzz and Woody soaring as one, Toy Story does the impossible in casting us up."  Slant Magazine  Rob Humanick

3/4
"A good holiday movie for kids and adults. Although the story is easily understood by kids, there are plenty of jokes and innuendos that will sail right over most kids' heads."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

5/5
"You wanna know what real "movie magic" looks like? Rent yourself the entire Pixar collection and try not to spend the next eight hours grinning from ear to ear."  DVDTalk.com  Scott Weinberg

A
"Moviemaking alchemy — a breathtakingly perfect blend of wide-eyed childhood wonder and wry adult humor, yesteryear nostalgia and eye-popping novelty."  Decent Films Guide  Steven D. Greydanus

10/10
"Time has been kind to it, and future years I imagine will still be kind; a classic is forever."  Antagony & Ecstasy  Tim Brayton
