Sinopsis:
It has been nearly 15 years since this animated adventure was released, but it is a classic which
stands the test of time – and what better excuse to see it again at the cinema than its re-release in 3D. Especially for a new generation of children who have only ever seen it on DVD.
It’s the story of a little boy, Andy, and his toys, which can come alive whenever he is out of the room.
His favourite toy is cowboy Woody (Tom Hanks), the leader of a gang which includes Mr Potato Head (Don Rickles), Slinky Dog, Rex the dinosaur and Hamm the piggy bank (John Ratzenberger).
Then Andy is given a new toy for his birthday, a gleaming Buzz Lightyear action figure (Tim Allen).
Andy spends most of his time playing with him, but jealous Woody is more infuriated with the fact that Buzz does not realise he is a toy. He thinks he is a real Space Ranger from the Universe Protection Unit who can fly.
But Woody and Buzz must bond if they are to escape the evil clutches of Sid, the sadistic boy next door.
The only downside to this inventive, clever and thrilling film, is that the 3D element is a little disappointing, as it does not exactly take us to infinity and beyond.
It is quite subtle, but adds to the depth of a film which is rich in detail in both animation and script.
Each viewing brings up something new to delight which you will not have noticed before.
This is real movie magic, a perfect appetiser for Toy Story 2 in 3D in January and, even more exciting, the brand new Toy Story 3 next July.
