Loved Toy Story, it was so advanced and Tom Hanks’ voice was just perfect for Woody. But I felt so annoyed that they did a sequel I decided not to watch it. Some stories are just best left alone, the way they ended. I’m a lover of Disney classis – Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Aladdin… they ALL have sequels! WHY?! Makes me feel cheated that I watched the first one.

Hey T – For you to say I made you fall in love with it again, makes my day. Yay.

We can sometimes forget how much we truly *loved* some toys as kids. (Parents: don’t chuck your kids’ toys without asking them first!!). I still remember my favorites (usually stuffed animals) and how I believed they had feelings just like me.

And the first movie I really fell in love with was ‘Herbie the Love Bug’ (aging myself again…). I loved that VW beetle and still love those cars today.

I was a little late getting back to reading… but you’ve made me fall in love with this movie yet again. Sadly I only have it on VHS and I don’t think there are any *working* VCRs in my house. I need to put my movie buying on hold to get these timeless classics.

It such a strange thing (like the song) to see that other people loved particular scenes as much as I did. I certainly can’t deny that this movie was a big deal to my childhood when it came out. I had toys, I knew the songs, and I could probably recite the movie by heart. Had I been a little more sentimental, I think I would’ve cried at certain parts, because I was a kid who really cared about all of his toys. So I could relate to Andy a lot, and all of the toys, since in my imagination, they all had unique personalities too.

@ Jaden – Report back when you do!

@ Ivan – Nice to see you here again. You were one of my first commentators ever and I’ll always appreciate that. There’s been a steady growth and the blog will be getting a little face lift shortly. It’s almost a year since I started! Holy moly.

Thanks Lorin.
Glad to see it was such an inspiration…sorta…kinda.
Now the question is: Do we blame it for all the crappy 3D movies that followed just because it was the ‘thing to do’?

Here, here. Excellent posts. ‘Toy Story’ was pretty inspiring to yours-truly. So much so that I am not working in feature animation…wait, that didn’t come out right.

Great selection K.
