Animated comedy adventure about the secret world of toys, featuring the voices of Tom Hanks and Tim Allen. Woody the cowboy is young Andy's favourite toy. But when Andy receives Buzz Lightyear - a brash state-of-the-art space ranger - for his birthday, Woody's position is undermined and the two toys become bitter rivals.
Though this magnificent film will go down in history as the first completely computer-generated animation feature, it is much more than just a technical tour de force. Director John Lasseter has delivered a great adventure story that will not only entertain children but can also be enjoyed as a jokey parable by adults. In a suburban bedroom, Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks), an old-fashioned pullstring cowboy, lords it benevolently over Mr Potato Head (Don Rickles), Bo Peep (Annie Potts) and Rex the Dinosaur (Wallace Shawn) and remains his owner's favourite toy until the arrival of birthday present Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), a hi-tech space-ranger. Apart from the brilliant characterisations of Hanks, Allen and the rest of the cast, mention should also be made of Randy Newman's masterly score, which was Oscar-nominated along with his song You've Got a Friend in Me and provides a perfect complement to the action.
