Disney classic rated 100% on Rotten Tomatoes as fans declare it 'perfect'
Toy Story was the first ever feature-length film to be completely computer animated and it has since become known as one of the greatest animated movies ever made
Within the ever-expanding Disney realm, fresh animations emerge annually, capturing the affections of families worldwide - yet one timeless gem continues to reign supreme for countless viewers.
Since hitting cinemas in 1995, Toy Story, the inaugural film in what would become a quartet of beloved movies, has cemented its position as an absolute darling amongst cinema enthusiasts. Further testament to this is its flawless Rotten Tomatoes rating of 100% - utterly spotless.
This adventure-comedy masterpiece was crafted by Pixar for Disney and brought forth characters who've since become cultural icons. Indeed, regardless of whether you've witnessed Toy Story or not, chances are you're familiar with Buzz Lightyear, Woody, or even the legendary Mr Potato Head.
One Rotten Tomatoes critic lauded the picture for its enduring rewatchability. They penned: "The original Toy Story is a movie that's way ahead of its time. While the animation may show its age, the story between Woody and Buzz is absolutely timeless, and the chemistry between Tom Hanks and Tim Allen, respectively, is impeccable!".
"I loved it when I first saw it on VHS as a kid, and I still love it to this day. One of my Top 5 favourite movies of all time!", reports the Express.
Now regarded as an ageless masterpiece, Toy Story transports audiences into a realm where young Andy's playthings spring to life whilst humans are absent. His cherished companion is a benevolent sheriff called Woody, voiced by Tom Hanks, though his supremacy is challenged when the lad acquires a shiny new plaything - Buzz Lightyear.
Their tale unfolds across subsequent films as Andy matures and the toys start to feel neglected. In secret, when the humans are out, the toys embark on a series of escapades in what has been hailed by audiences as a "groundbreaking" narrative.
One review raves: "An absolute must-see! A groundbreaking film which changed animation forever. It's my least favourite of the 3 Toy Story films (I refuse to acknowledge number 4) but is still packed with great characters, lots of humour and heart.
"It's the foundation for everything that comes after it in the franchise, so definitely worth watching. Filled with clever references which will keep adults chuckling while the kids enjoy the action."
Not only have families continued to laud the film years after its release, but upon its debut, Toy Story soared at the box office, becoming the second highest-grossing film of 1995. It's often cited as one of the greatest animated films ever, thanks to its pioneering status as the first full-length computer-animated movie.
Another cinema enthusiast commented: "Toy Story was a great step forward for Pixar in the history of cinema, They manage to deliver a good film full of quality and creativity that keeps you hooked from start to finish."
Echoing this sentiment, a critic penned: " I don't see how anyone can say this isn't a perfect film. The story is tight, it had some strong emotional beats, and the voice acting is spot on."
The other films in the series also boast remarkably high ratings, with Toy Story 2 achieving a perfect score of 100% and Toy Story 3 not far behind at 98%. However, the fourth instalment ranks slightly lower, though still impressive, with a rating of 96%.
