Toy Story 1&2: Blu Ray Review
Toy Story 1 and 2 - Blu Ray/ DVD Releases
Rating: G
Released by Disney
The claw, the aliens, Jesse, Prospector, Al's Toy Barn, Randy
Newman's "You've Got A Friend in Me"; there's so much to remember
and love from the Toy Story series.
The story of Tom Hanks' Woody, the lovable cowboy toy, so beloved
by his owner and his friendship and rivalry with Tim Allen's space
age toy Buzz Lightyear have thrilled generations of kids - both
young and old.
These rereleases on Blu Ray are definitive - both the stories and a
whole wealth of extras make for essential viewing - and a chance to
lose yourself completely in the toy world.
While it's great to see Toy Story again, personally, it's Toy Story
2 which soars - I'd forgotten how close to tears the story of Woody
finding his compadres Jesse, Bullseye and the Prospector brought
me. There's humour aplenty in the first film but there's a
confidence in Toy Story 2 that eclipses the animation and gives it
a humanity which is hard to resist.
Extras: Wondrous entertainment for all the family
- and all new special features ensure these releases don't feel
like rip offs.
Rating: 9/10
