*Toy Story* IT'S A HORROR MOVIE!! (First Time Watching) Animator Reacts 

It was brilliant for the writers to center a story around plastic toys considering where computer animation was at when this was made. It goes leaps and bounds to “hiding” the fact that flesh textures weren’t quite there yet.

The scene of them arguing under the truck is literally perfect.

To clarify the meaning of A113, its a classroom at CalArts where the intro animation class is. It appears in every Pixar movie in some capacity.

"Not a flying toy" was the first real life experience that ever hit me

During the first song when Andy's playing with Woody, you can see the expression on Woody's face change a couple times. Also in the other toys defense: 1. Even though Woody didn't knock Buzz out the window on purpose, he did intend to knock Buzz behind the desk. 2. They did catch him with Buzz's disembodied arm. 3. Woody kicked RC off the moving van with an malicious laugh. I can understand them thinking he's gone off the deep end since Woody doesn't exactly come off well in this movie.

I think the second one is my favorite, but this one is just a classic!

"BUZZ LOOK AN ALIEN!" "Where?!" This was the funniest thing in the world to three-year-old me. xD

If you thought this was a horror movie in its current state, just look up the Black Friday Reel. It's extremely rare that an animated character sends chills down my spine, but Woody as he was originally envisioned was just flat out scary. In fact, it was because of this that production almost got shut down. The higher ups at Disney did not like Woody one bit and nearly canceled the movie, but they gave Pixar a chance to rewrite the script and change the character, and they did. It wasn't an overly positive approval, but they liked it well enough that they let them continue on.

I remember apologizing to my Wild Wing Mighty Duck action figure for replacing him with a newer, cooler version after watching this movie. 🤣 So many toys in the toy chest that I completely stopped playing with suddenly got a bunch of use. Being a girl into action figures I noticed I played with mine a lot differently than most boys did. My actions figures had full on Soap Opera/Telenovela drama. There were evil twins, different versions from other dimensions/timelines, clones, body snatchers, etc. Love and rejection, Spies and double crossers and world ending cataclysmic events. It was basically The Sims with less babies 🤣 On top of whatever storylines they were already doing on tv that I wanted to incorporate.

This film was a big deal for animation, was because it was all CGI and up till that moment in time CGI was only as an action films, so to see that it was in this kids film was amazing and astonishing at the same time

This was the first computer animated movie 😁 my parents and I saw it in theaters when it came out when I was 8, and we were all amazed at it being computer animated. Of course looking back, even I can see computer animation has come a long way, but it's impressive what they were able to do in 1995 with the technology they had

My favorite ever Easter Egg from any Pixar movie is in this one. In Sid’s room, there’s a red crate that says ‘Binford’. Tim Allen was on a show called Home Improvement at the time, and in the show he plays the host of a tool show sponsored by Binford tools. Logo is the same, too. Well, of course it would be lol. I just thought that was such a great nod to that property. When I saw this in theaters I nearly screamed when I saw it. I was legitimately OBSESSED with JTT at he time lol

I remember when I was a toddler in daycare I had a Mr. and Mrs. Potato head that I played with in recess. I always had an imagination that they were real and even called them my best friends lol. So it's weird but interesting to see the same Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head come to life in an animated production because it brings back so many fun memories of me as a kid 🥰

The film is a marvel and won an honorary Oscar and was the first full length Computer Animated feature. It was nominated for Best Original Screenplay, Best Score and Best Song for You’ve Got a Friend in Me. This film was one of 25 films selected for Preservation for the National Film Registry part of the Library of Congress in 2005. If you want a predecessor to Toy Story with this kind of idea check out the really dark film distributed through Disney called The Brave Little Toaster. Other details that start in this film is John Ratzenberger who was Hamm in this appears in some role or another in every Pixar film. The Pizza Planet truck is in every film as well.

Toy Story was the first feature length fully CGI animated movie It's always a lot of fun to see how Pixar's CG developed and improved over the years simply by looking at Toy Story and its sequels Especially comparing the dog from the first movie to the cat in the 4th is amazing to see how far they've come

Oh my god, this is going to be so entertaining/interesting seeing you guys get into this series! Toy Story has so much dark humor and implications on top of being a kid's movie; I legit used to think my toys were secretly alive and treated them super nicely because of this movie lmao

The toy thats just legs and a fishing Rod.. is actually a play on words as Hooker 😅

The difference between Andy's appearance between the fist and second film still gives me whiplash. Also Disney parks needs to make a permanent and more screen accurate Pizza Planet!

This is genuinely one of the funniest movies ever 🤣 “you are a toy!” Sequence kills me every time

in an interview, Tom Hanks said that he got the part of Woody after Pixar watched his performance in Turner and Hooch!

John Lassiter’s sense of humor cracks me up! I remember in a documentary on how Toy Story was made, he mentioned the “YO” on the Pizza Planet truck as well as the joke that the fishing pole with Barbie legs was a “hooker” 🤣

Hey guys, is it weird to say that the thing I'm mostly looking forward to when you do movie reactions is the insightful talk afterwards? You guys are incredibly smart and you seem to have great empathy. When I listen to you I feel like you "understand life", for the lack of a better description. 😅💜 My favourite toys when I was young were Barbie dolls... yeah I know, typical little girl here. 😆 But I loved each one so much and I always treated them like fragile treasures. When my younger sisters got their hands on them while I was on school vacation they messed up their beautiful silky hair, ripped off their heads, painted on their tiny faces and ripped their pretty dresses to shreds - I was HEARTBROKEN when I came back and found my dolls. I'll never forget that. 😔💔 I've always treated my things with the utmost care - be it dolls, books or stuffed animals - and I hated to share everything with my siblings even though my mother insisted on me to share. She knew my sisters would destroy my things and yet she kinda encouraged that behavior. Anyway long story short, I loved your movie reaction, as always!!

You guys should react to Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. It’s another fun underrated Disney movie.

When the car blows out the match, your faces are priceless

It was said that this movie was so successful because at the time the movie came out, kids saw themselves as Andy. Then when the next movies came out, Andy was almost growing up in real time so kids that saw the first movie were the same age as Andy as the movies go on.

Fun fact: This series (to my knowledge) is the only series to get both the first and second movie a perfect score on Tomatometer. Toy Story 3 got 98% and Toy Story 4 got 97%.

This was my oldest daughter's favorite film for years! It WAS a huge deal when it came out because it was the first full length, fully computer animated film. But more than that, it was just a great story!

This film has one of the greatest ideas of all time with the toys, executed it masterfully too

It's soo cool how far we've come in terms of CG and Pixar is to thank for most of it. I think 2 is my favourite but 3 has my fav soundtrack Randy Newman went all out

The most unrealistic thing in this movie isn't the fact that toys are alive. It's that Andy's mom bought him a new bedset right before they moved.

Fun Fact: the toolbox on top of the crate that woody was in says Binford. Binford was the fictional tool company that the voice of buzz lightyear (Tim Allen) was a part of in the sitcom Home Improvement

Imagine the amount of therapy he’ll need, it’ll take decades for him to recover.

The shot of the doll head when you see through it was probably the coolest thing at the time . It truly showed how amazing Pixar is . It was like nothing I had ever seen before.

I saw this in theater when I was a kid. When we came out, we found that our car had been stolen and used to rob a bunch of stores. Toy Story is very memorable for me 😂😂😂

GUYS U GOTTA WATCH SMALL SOLDIERS!! Another classic movie about toys alive!!

You know, seeing this as an adult is crazy, I'm seeing so many references to horror films. it's insane! Also I'm wondering how many saw the little manual at Sid's house about interrogation tactics? WTF?

The only part of this which strikes me as "horror" is Sid's house.

I was 5/6 years old when this movie came out in 1995. I remember the movie was already starting (as I peeked through the theater door, I saw Potato Head acting as a robber) as we were getting snacks and telling my mom that we were missing it.

I was a big sister to two little brothers when this movie came out and I have such fond memories of sitting and snuggling with them while we watched this...1000 times. Still a favorite Pixar and definitely my favorite Toy Story

The supposed idea behind the Chris Evans Lightyear movie is that it's the movie that would have gone on to inspire making all the Buzz Lightyear merchandise in the Toy Story world.

Toy Story is definitely a classic! It was such a novelty when it came out, everyone loved it. The concept of toys having secret lives in on par with The Brave Little Toaster, same idea but with appliances (not sure how many people actually know about that movie. 🤔)

These movies made me believe that my Barbies were alive😂 I even was way too nice to them so they would trust me and move HAHA

Toy Story is such a perfect Disney Pixar movie.

You dont even know how comforting your videos are! i have been binging watching movies with you guys and it really makes feel less lonely and im so grateful for that :’) thank you!

Another cool toys are alive movie that you could check out is Small Soldiers, i loved it when I was a kid.

Be prepared for Toy Story 3 because all of this build up is gonna end badly, I wont say what it is but that you're gonna cry your eyes out and get punched in the heart.

I love how throughout the movie, a lot of times when a character blinks, the blink unevenly. Also, something i noticed that doesnt make sense, total plot hole, is that Andy's Toys call Woody a murderer when they see that Buzz's arm is off, but none of them consider the fact that THEY ARE AT SID'S HOUSE

Can’t wait for Toy Story 2 :P

Toy Story Reaction: *released* My Brain: "These are the adventures of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command!"

Woody's "YOU. ARE. A. TOY!!!" outburst is literally iconic

God this brings me back to my childhood, I used to have a Buzz Lightyear toy I took ot everywhere with me

Woody smacking Buzz with his own arm comes from a behind the scenes of Commando where Arnold Schwarzenegger suggested to the director that after he'd cut off a soiders arm off with a machete, he would use the severed arm to punch another enemy soilder in the face but the director declined, thinking it was too weird.

Yay love you guys love your movie reactions. Toy story man I used to watch them so many times apecially the second and third one . They can be quite dark but when I was younger I didn't notice that which is weird cause I watched horror movies since I was four like I would watch it with my mom's brother , even alone without my parents knowing cause I wasn't allowed they would tell me to go to the room when their watch a horror movie or they would let me stay but watch on my gadget If looked up they would pause or close my eyes but they would let my older sister watch she's two years older than me. Like I would get nightmares,be paranoid in the night see things that aren't there , wake up screaming but I still would watch horror movies like I get scared but I love it.

If I remember correctly, this was the first fully computer animated full-length film.

My favourite toys as a child were two miniature tigers 🐅 . I used to pretend they were alive and imagine how they would move through the giant human landscape

Yay I love this one. It's crazy how impressive the animation was to me as a kid compared to what there is now. It really looked so different from anything else back then.

YEESSS I'm so happy you haven't seen it hahaha can't wait to see the reaction!💙💙

The toy that was a fishing rod with doll legs was a play on the word 'hooker'. This movie has a lot of easter eggs if you look hard enough

I'd love to see them react to Bolt (2008) someday. It's a great animated film & the plot is very similar to Buzz's journey in this film tbh.

My mom bought this on VHS and I watched every day the entire summer of ‘96. 26 years later, I can still quote this movie word for word.

Hello! I'm a new subscriber and love seeing your reactions especially to animated movies! I look forward to continuing to watch you guy's reactions! May God Bless both of you!

8:23 there’s actually a scene in this movie where they show Andy’s friends... but they all have Andy’s face😂

I didn't have toys cool like this. I'm an early 90s kid. I remeber having race cars.

Is it just me or does some parts of the animation in toy story feel rly smooth and natural while others feel choppy and mechanical lol

Be sure to watch the pixar story documentary if you have disney plus. I know you boys have been reacting to Book of Boba but the story of John Lasseter's career with disney and using cg animation in a 2d film got him fired from the company and ro see his uprising with this film was incredible to see

This was my favorite film as a kid. I watched it 40x the first week I got it on VHS; my sister and I probably drove our mom crazy because she had to see it at home after seeing it on loop every day when she worked in the shoe dept. at Walmart (which was next to the small electronics dept. at the time). My favorite toy growing up wasn't really a toy, per se. I was (and still am) into trivia games, so I had a ton of trivia board games. But of the toys I had, I'd probably say that my favorite was my Yakbak (similar to a Talkboy).

Ah the nostalgia. Its been so long since I have seen this

they don't show the children because of design limitations as you mentioned. all of them are andy's.

Director John Lasseter have stated in the commentary that his kids would hide behind the pillows when Woody almost runs in Scud sleeping at the stairs. The snoring sounds of Scud in that scene is the T-Rex breathing from Jurassic Park.

Here's hoping you guys get to the sequels too. Opinions are divided on them overall but none of them are considered bad, it's one of those cases where people argue over which is the best, but never which is the worst.

You don't see the kid's faces because they are all Andy, you can catch it if you pause at the right spot. This saving on resources for model designs led to the theory that Andy is a clone.

Just because you have one or two scenes being set during Christmas, doesn't mean it IS a Christmas movie. The same thing can be said about Lady and The Tramp which both starts and end at Christmas but the rest of the movie is set the other seasons of the year but primarily spring and summer (with a short scene set in winter), Harry Potter and the Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone or The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, or even Die Hard or Batman Returns, both being set during Christmas Time but Christmas isn't the main theme or thing unlike say all versions of The Grinch, The Nightmare Before Christmas (though it's half-Halloween/half-Christmas), Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer or A Charlie Brown Christmas and especially the numerous adaptations of Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol.

I would STILL go to a real life Pizza Planet. Also as you get older you realize Sid is a toy customizer.

This film had such a fun concept. I'd love to see them watch some other films where inanimate objects come to life, i.e. *Gnomeo & Juliet* , *Night at the Museum* , Small Soldiers, etc.

Just binge watched all of your Arcane reactions and now you upload this. You’re the channel that keeps on giving, I swear

Brave little toaster was a horror movie. James and the giant peach also. But I love that one

This is my favorite Pixar movie ever

Woody was only trying to knock Buzz behind the desk so Andy couldn't find him but instead caused an accident that ended in Buzz getting knocked out the window by a desklamp

Fun fact: Toy Story is still the only Pixar movie to date with a opening credit sequence.

noooooooow encanto!! :)

I both loved this movie and was terrified of it at the same time as a child. This movie definitely taught me to respect and cherish my toys to the point where I wouldn't want my floor vacuumed in case I lost a LEGO piece or two, let alone mutilate my toys like Cid did.

I just rewatched all these movies the other day and honestly now I think Toy Story 3 is my favorite. 1 and 2 are classics but 3 is just worlds apart imo

You can see how the struggled with some of the proportions, it was extremely long to render the locations and rooms and they couldn't always have a lot of detail. Nowaday, Pixar renders an entire New York City with thousands of people in a block with trash and plants. The plants here look as plastic as the toys. It wasn't until the second PIXAR movie A Bug's Life when they got plants to look good. And even there, they were able to combat the plastic aesthetic of the 3D characters due to the hard exoskeletons of the insects. Notice that Andy didn't have any plush toys, the animators didn't really invent the advanced fur technology until Monster's Inc. They had fur technology before, but it was not as advanced and very untouchable interactively speaking. Just look at Scud the dog, which sort or added to the scariness of the dog honestly. However, the run cycle looks super wacky if you watch that again. The basic material the animators had to work with were lamberts, blinns, and phongs. The humans were the modeler's nightmare which is why they were filmed at leg height and all of Andy's friends looked like his twin and also that Andy didn't have a dad (The in universe theory, it is speculated Andy's dad left and that is the reason that Andy's family was moving).

Yh the early concept art and storyboard were much more of a horror movie with Woody was a full-on villian hellbent on killing Buzz so your title is more correct than you think

As an adult you catch lots of different jokes. I still like 1 and 2.

20:31 I STILL LOVE HOW YOU GUYS SAY IT TOGETHER LMFAO IT LEAVES ME CACKLING 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Actually my favorite part in the whole series is the one that opens on the train heist. I love that one becaus we saw the entire adventure solely from the toys POV.

My all-time favorite Disney movie. It is such a good, classic movie to watch at any time.

I never thought of this as a horror movie or having horror movie elements but now with it in my head, the stuff at Sid's house...yeah, it is.

Part of why th enostalgia factor of this movie worked for kids and adults is obviously because kids can relate. However adults can double relate, once their own childhood, and then from an adult giving toys to kids and how those toys connect you to your child. So every kid sees themselves in Andy, and every adult seems themselves in Andy's Mom, and Sid's mom (even thogh she's off screen every parent can still relate to being a parent of a kid like Sid).

This is the digitally remastered version! I saw the original VHS copy and it looked like it made on 35 mm film.

16:14 throughout all toy story movies, i think this is the only time you see woody dilates his pupils.

My favorite kids productions are the ones that entertain the kids and and the adults - and it’s not just the situational or thematic ways but offhand nods and jokes for parents kids won’t get but don’t care (ie Mr potato head with his face on out of order saying PICASSO!) Also the rug in Sid’s house is an homage to the unforgettable rug in the Overlook hotel.

I use to have when I was a little girl I had elmo collection there was one that sang the alphabet and count andI loved cabbage patch and had a strawberry shortcake doll that actually smelled like strawberries

Tim Allen is buzz lightyear 💙

it turns out that the reason they never show the kids is because every singly one of them share a model with andy.

I grew up on this film in the 90s as a 5-7 year old kid i remember having 1 & 2 on vhs and watching them constantly also i remember having the woody doll buzz lightyear figue and mr potato head

For some reason, when I was 5 years old I thought Sid's toys were cool instead of terrifying as I got older, I realized that I'm probably the only person who saw it that way

They actually do show Andy's friends the scene where the Army Men are surveying the area you can see their faces the models for Andy's friends are actually just Andy I kid ya not

I had a lot of favorite toys while growing up in the early 2000s, but I think the most memorable toy for me was a "bubble barbaque" play set and some WWE wrestlers action figures.
