Toy Story was produced by Pixar’s Animation Studio in 1995. It was the first ever full-length 3D animated film to be created using computer.
Toy Story is about the life of the toys in a little boy’s (Andy) room. Andy loves to play with his toys, especially Woody. But when Andy is not in the room, all toy come to life! Woody believes he has a good owner and will have a wonderful life. Until one day, Andy got a new toy for his birthday, Buzz Lightyear, which replace Woody’s to be the favourite toy of Andy.
Woody got jealous and tries to get rid of Buzz, but its turned out they both lost. They must find a way to get back to Andy before he moves house without them, but they will have to pass through a very dangerous place, the house of a ruthless toy killer, Sid. They caught into all kind of troubles of getting back to Andy. But they finally fought their way back to the truck, where Andy’s family is moving their stuffs. At the end, Woody and Buzz became best friend, while Andy loves his toys, both Woody and Buzz, even more after the lost of them.
Toy Story is one of my favourite 3D animations, and it is what inspired me to become a Computer Animator. Toy story makes every people childhood’s dream come true by generating them 3D in film! As every child ‘s is want their toy can come to life and play with them. Also the consequences when you don’t treasure your toys.
Japanese Animation Review:
鉄コン筋クリート (Tekkon Kinkreet, means reinforced concrete)
Director: Michael Ariaa
Writers: Taiyo Matsumoto (Comics),
Anthony Weintraub (writer)
Tekkon Kinkreet is the first time an American director has ever gone and directed an entire piece of animation in Japan, at the studio. While the anime industry is no stranger to creating animated works under American creative staff, no American has ever gone over and gotten a film produced, financed and made completely within the Japanese system.
Black and White are two street urchins. They have no home, no parents… only each other. They steal, mug, beat people… It's not the yakuza that owns Treasure town, it's Black (the smart, bitter one) and White (the dumb, innocent one). But when a developer wants to turn the dark, ugly streets into an amusement park, he brings about challengers that even Black will have trouble against! The only real bad point comes from some supernatural elements that get introduced near the end of the movie, most importantly the final bad guy. Their symbolic value is huge, but I would have liked to see a bit more development in this department, as it feels a bit strange and out-of-place.
Overall, I can imagine that not a lot of people are going to be picking this up by just looking at the promo-art, but beyond waits a gem of a movie. Studio 4C are really one of the best movie-producers out there, and their unique style and originality proves to be a true delight. These guys know what it takes to make a good movie.
