Toy Story**  
(US 1995)                           

Two rival house toys for a boy's affections have a battle to get back home when they fall into the hands of a mischievous neighbour.
The first of the Pixar animated features - as influential and as troubled to make, in its way, as was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was for traditional animation. It led to a whole slew of wisecracking American films of this kind, not all of which are quite so thoughtfully and intelligently scripted as this one, and while the computer animation lacks the charm and the beauty of hand drawn cartoons, it is commendably tightly paced and sticks to the old fashioned principle of entertaining its audience.
