Toy Story (1995)

I've watched this movie sinse I was little, 'really' little. It was always one of my favorites, and honestly not much of it scared me, except for the toys Sid 'created'. It makes you nervous when the toys are in a bad situation, like being stuck in Sid's house for instance and getting chased by a dog. Dispite some of these things, the movie is great for the family. My brothers watched it to the point that it distroyed the DVD (This was around when they were 2 and 4) I don't think it's as terrifying as some make out, but it depends on the child. The humar is great, the parol is exciting. Woody can be bossy, and they accuse him of being Buzz's murderer later on. It's pretty torturous. Still though- I rest my case by saying it's a good movie.

Toy Story is one of the best movies of all time. I've watched it so many times, I've memorized it. ALL OF IT. There's basically nothing to watch out for and is perfectly suitable for all people, but there are some hidden adult jokes: * Bo Peep says to Woody: "How about I get someone else to watch the sheep tonight?" Which, uh...I'll let you figure that out, k? *Mr. Potato head takes off his lips and puts them on his rear, symbolizing the word kiss-***. *At one point Potato head and Hamm(a piggy bank) are playing battleship, and when Hamm sinks a ship he asks for Potato head's nose, which is basically "Strip Battleship". *Woody says, "The word I'm searching for, I can't say-because there are Preschool toys around" implying he wants to cuss... *Potato Head says "Son of a Building Block!" in one scene. ----------But seriously, I criticize this movie too much! The movie is perfect for ANYYYONNE! It's funny even for adults, and when you actually get the jokes, it's even better. The story centers around Sherrif Woody being replaced as the favorite toy by Buzz Lightyear, a Space Ranger action figure who doesn't believe he's a toy. The two toys develop a rivalry until they wind up in the house of Sid, who tortures his toys. They have to work together to break out before Andy moves to a new home, and the movie is great on the traits of friendship and working together. If you haven't watched this movie, do it. NOW.

Two previous reviewers nailed my feelings about this movie: "...I realized how much violence is strewn through the film. The toys fight each other, call each other insulting names, the kid Sid next door is a sociopath who plays with matches and rockets, the toy-eating dog in Sid's house is abusive, and then abused by the toys... it just goes on & on. All in all, way too dark and violent for the age group it is marketed towards. The message of playing nice and working together is completely lost in the shuffle unless the parent strings it together for the child." "...while it seems innocuous at first, several times characters get called names like "idiot" and "stupid". Not sure I like this too much." Actually, I am sure I don't like it at all. Between Sid's malice and the casual disrespect for everyone shown by all the name calling, I just find this movie inappropriate for younger viewers. And how do 100% of 30-some parent reviewers say it's too violent and at the same time say it's great for kids??
