WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
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. Viewed mostly through the eyes of two rival toys—Woody (voice of Tom Hanks) a pull-string talking cowboy and Buzz Lightyear (voice of Tim Allen), a superhero space action figure—who learn to put aside their differences when circumstances separate them from their owner, Andy.
