This extremely popular and successful film features the voice talents of Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Don Rickles, Wallace Shawn, Laurie Metcalf, and others.

Although the film's "cast" includes such classic toys as Mr. Potatohead and Etch-a-Sketch, a Barbie doll is nowhere in sight. The folks at Pixar did approach toy manufacturer Mattel about using Barbie, but Mattel declined. Why? Because they didn't want the legendary doll to have a personality!

    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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Making autistic grandson happy
    Review created: 05/07/07
    by:

    I am sure most of you have heard of autism. One of their traits is repetitive behavior. Blayre finds a part of this video and plays it over and over, rewinding constantly. His latest quirk is wanting a new one every week even though the prior ones still works fine. If you have an austistic child or grandchild.e-bay is the only place I have found that I can get them for him whenever he wants. Some of these videos are hard to find on other sites as they are outdated, but ebay always comes through. Thanks a million for making him happy. He doesn't ask for much,but his videos are an important part of his life. thaks so much gramma shea
