Toy Story of Terror! [DVD] [2014]

I just love the Toy Story characters, and the situations they get into, and out of. So much humor, heart, and fun. Glad to have this one on Blu-ray as part of the collection.

One great movie. I am glad I saw it since I am a major collector and happy to add to my collection with great sound and picture.

Great movie for the entire family. Don’t Forget your popcorn and candy.

I had this movie in VHS when my 25 year old was a child. Wish it would’ve been longer but I like how they added the extra little cartoons as fillers.

Toy Story of Terror! is Pixar’s first TV special, and a really good one. The studio has previously only made feature length and short films before, and a TV special was a new challenge. Pixar has previously been able to tell stories of various lengths, but the half hour of network television gave Toy Story of Terror! a very specific runtime. Toy Story of Terror! had to conform to a runtime of exactly 21 minutes and 30 seconds in length and not one frame longer or shorter. This is just one of the many insightful things learned on the great Toy Story of Terror! DVD and Blu-ray release. The release is packed with special features that show how Toy Story of Terror! was made. There’s more to be done than the average person would expect, and there’s enough in depth material that anyone will learn something. The filmmaking process is undoubtedly different when using animation, and there’s a lot of material that shows just how different it is. Part of this is in an insightful featurette, but a lot of it comes from the various great commentaries included. Also included on the release are deleted scenes, the Toy Story Toons shorts, and vintage toy commercials. The toy commercials focus on a few of the new toys introduced in Toy Story of Terror! and are made in the style of the eras the fictional toys would have come from. Like the one embedded below, these are a highlight of the release and completely hilarious. As for Toy Story of Terror! itself, this is an excellent TV special. The half hour format allowed Pixar to tell a smaller Toy Story tale that is as intimate as the movies. Focusing on Jesse was a great idea, and the way the story is structured around her character works absolutely perfectly. The TV special is an interesting type of story for Pixar to use, and we’re completely excited for Toy Story that Time Forgot.

I got to admit that I was hesitant about making this purchase because there are some Disney movie continuations I don’t really care for. To my grateful surprise, this is just another great Toy Story mini-movie to add to the collection! All of the classic characters are still in this: Woody, Buzz, Jessie, Mr. Potate Head, etc. To be honest I think it would have been just a wee bit better if there was more of Bullseye in this. Still a great movie for the family, for sure.

Bought this a just another way to keep my grandkids entertained. It's fun to watch when we have a sleep over with the smaller kids.

I love this movie I love all toy story movies toy story is my favorite movie
