just rewatched the original toy story for the first time in a while because i wanted to to form my own opinion and see if the internet was right (movie is good), or if my family was right (movie is good, but the internet is overselling it).
as it turns out, this movie is way better than i remembered
the “what-if” premise is interesting and pretty much became the successful formula for every subsequent pixar movie, the stakes are believable considering the premise, the main character isn’t as much of a jerk as i thought considering he does grow as a character towards the end, and at only an hour and 20 minutes the story knows when it’s done and doesn’t waste your time with filler, but it also doesn’t feel rushed or anything
not to mention just… how impressive it is from a technical standpoint, i mean this thing changed animation as a whole and they were able to do it in 1995 with only 30 million dollars
i realize i’m talking about a movie everyone in my generation watched when they were five, but i kinda underappreciated it up until now, i think the sequel fatigue just left a bad taste in my mouth and made me forget it’s actually quite good
so uh… yeah idk what i’m going on about, thanks for reading lol
is it better or worse than Cars
