    Story Synopsis:
    Set in a world where toys have a life of their own when people are not present, Toy Story is a sophisticated and delightfully irreverent comedy adventure that represents the first full-length feature ever to be created entirely through the use of computer animation (and also the first collaboration between Disney and the wonderfully inventive Pixar Animation Studios). Viewed mostly through the eyes of two rival toys: Woody (Hanks), a pull-string talking cowboy, and Buzz Lightyear (Allen), a superhero space action figure. The comically mismatched duo eventually learn to put aside their differences when circumstances separate them from their owner

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture is seen for the first time in a beautiful digital-to-digital transfer. Previous home video versions, including the LaserDiscs reviewed in Issues 22, 23 & 27, were transferred from film. The DVD picture is far superior in all aspects of image quality. Colors are rich and vibrant with excellent balance. Images are sharp and finely detailed into

    Reason #44 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR for several reasons. While sometimes I find it somewhat over-technical, the features I enjoy are always read. One Installer’s Opinion and the DVD reviews are my favorites. The wrap-around glossy cover featuring the hottest movies; this mag is always a winner. I recently re-subscribed. Thanks.
