Tom Hanks Says ‘Toy Story 4’ Is One Of The Best Movies He’s Ever Seen

Toy Story 4 is the sequel to what is considered one of the greatest trilogies of all time. The Toy Story franchise has yet to have a dud or even a subpar film, as all of the previous films have been beloved by both critics and audiences around the world. Some may view one as better than the others or have a favorite, but it is difficult to argue with the high quality of each one of these films.

Creating an outdoor living space without a TV entertainment unit might seem bland, choosing the best outdoor tv mount will make the difference when you spend sometime outdoors.

As the last act of Toy Story 3 played on the big screen, many of us thought we were at the end of the saga that introduced us to memorable toys like Woody, Jessie, Buzz, among (many, many) others. We cried, not only because we thought it could be the last time we may be seeing these lovable characters, but also because that ending hit us like a ton of bricks. Well, I hope you’re stocked up well on tissues, because it sounds like the next film has more where that came from. [Read more…]

The Pixar Perspective on The Pixar Moment in ‘Toy Story’

January 7, 2014 by Josh Spiegel Leave a Comment

When this column began its theme of highlighting the so-called “Pixar moment” in various Pixar films (we’re still waiting on that patent to go through), it was predominantly about focusing on moments of powerful emotion in films that are targeted primarily at the family audience. That animation can inspire adults and kids alike to grab for a tissue isn’t terribly unique—though few modern animated films would attempt to echo its impact, let’s not forget the iconic moment in Bambi when the title character’s mother is killed by a hunter—but Pixar’s later films, such as Ratatouille and Up, reach for emotion in surprisingly mature and complex fashion. So in starting off 2014 with a look at the Pixar moment in Pixar’s first film, Toy Story, you might think this column would look for the origins of those unforgettable, tearjerking moments.

Film Review – Toy Story 3

Toy Story 3 debuted in theaters on June 18

A few years ago when Disney and Pixar were in contract talks to extend their partnership, Disney decided to come up with their own idea for Toy Story 3. The storyline involved Buzz Lightyear getting shipped off to Taiwan and the other toys trying to rescue him. After Disney bought Pixar and made John Lasseter the CCO, Lasseter famously went and scrapped all development. Pixar took over and started from scratch. And oh boy, we should be thankful because the Toy Story 3 that was directed by Lee Unkrich and released on June 18^th, 2010 is nothing short of magnificent. [Read more…]
