Top Reviews Review created: 10/24/05 by: 1 of 7 people found this review helpful. Toy Story is one really funny movie. The story is great and the computer generated graphics are just amazing. My favorite part is the way Woody looks on the remote controlled car near the end of the movie. His eyes are flying all of the place and he's screaming because he is going sooooo fast. I highly recommend this movie for people of all ages. A++++++++++ Disney!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review ID: 10000000000037996 Was this review helpful?
