"YOU - ARE - A - TOY! You aren't the real Buzz Lightyear, you're... you're, you're an action figure! You are a child's plaything!" - Woody to Buzz on day one

Why watch this? This is the origin story where Woody and Buzz first become friends.

Plot Summary: Andy's longtime favorite toy, Woody the cowboy doll, faces an existential crisis when a new, flashy spaceman toy named Buzz Lightyear becomes Andy's new favorite. Driven by jealousy, Woody attempts to get rid of Buzz, but a series of mishaps strands them both far from home. The two must then overcome their rivalry and work together to escape a toy-destroying neighbor and reunite with Andy before he moves.

Dad's Preview: This was the first great Disney-Pixar film. It combines a superb, original plot, excellent CGI, and an all-star case of voice actors. This film certainly appeals to kids, but therein is interjected lots "grown up" humor. It's cute, funny and warm.  A sequel only seemed natural. (which, of course, was delivered - 3 more times).
