Game Changers: Toy Story

Toy Story (1995)

Directed by John Lasseter

Starring Tim Allen, Tom Hanks, Don Rickles, Wallace Shawn, John Ratzenberger, Annie Potts, Laurie Metcalf, Andrew Stanton, Jeff Pidgeon, R. Lee Ermey, John Morris, Jim Varney, Erik von Detten

Set in a world where toys come to life when people aren’t around, two rival toys—Woody, a pull-string cowboy sheriff, and Buzz Lightyear, an ace space ranger—must put aside their differences when they get separated from their owner, Andy, and find themselves on an adventure-filled mission where the only way they can survive is to form an uneasy alliance. “Toy Story” was the first feature-length film to be entirely computer animated, the first feature from Pixar Animation Studios and the highest grossing film of 1995. The film was nominated for three Oscars and received a Special Achievement Academy Award.”
