Toy Story

John Lasseter · 1995 CE · Film · Modern / American · Contemporary

A pull-string cowboy doll runs a boy's bedroom until a birthday brings a space-ranger action figure who does not know he is a toy, and jealousy strands them both in the yard of a neighbour who dismantles his own. Getting back before the family's moving van leaves takes everything they have. The first feature animated entirely by computer, and the production that established Pixar.
