Essay1-6 Movie Review

“Toy Story” is an animated movie produced by Pixar. It is the first movie with everything is in CG animation. The main characters are toys. Woody is a stuffed cowboy and Buzz is a spaceman figure. And there are many other various kinds of toys appear in the movie which move and talk vividly. Tom Hanks plays Woody’s voice and Buzz is played by Tim Allen. They are both American actors. The director is John A. Lasseter who is also the director of “toy Story 2” and “Cars” which are made afterwards.

Woody has been Andy’s most favorite toys among many toys he has. All of Andy’s toys move and speak only when Andy is out of the room. Woody is also the leader of other toys. They are Mr. Potato Head, Hamm the piggy bank, Bo Peep the ceramic girl doll, Slinky the spring dog, Alex the dinosaur figure and some other. But Andy always plays with Woody.
On Andy’s birthday, he gets the new toy. It is Buzz. Buzz becomes Andy’s new favorite toy instead of Woody, so Woody doesn’t like Buzz. Buzz thinks he’s a space ranger and has a mission to beat his enemy. He is not aware of that he’s a toy. Woody tries to kick Buzz out. One day, the accident happened. Woody and Buzz fell out of the window of Andy’s room. They didn’t die but had to manage themselves to go back Andy’s room because the other toys thought they were dead and couldn’t help.

Next Andy’s house, a boy named Sid lives. Sid also has many toys too. But he enjoys breaking them. Unluckily, Woody and Buzz were found and taken home by Sid. They were taken into Sid’s room and met many creepy broken toys. They were cut apart and converted by Sid. Woody though they he and Buzz would be one of them. But they were actually nice and cooperative to Woody and supported them to escape from Sid’s house.

Andy’s family was moving to a different place. Andy thought he lost Woody and Buzz. He was very sad but Woody and Buzz made it to come back to Andy. They got on the truck leaving from Andy’s house in the end of the movie. All the other toys were there too.

I thought this movie was really fun to watch. I had watched it twice before but still totally enjoyed it. I liked that Buzz misunderstood that he was a real space ranger at first. He is a hilarious character. I think whoever made this movie is such an innovative idea man. [434 words]
