Movie Review for Parents - Our View

-by Allison

The characters quickly capture your heart and imagination. Its how every child imagines their toys playing – and better yet, it utilizes many classic toys that adults recall with fondness (like a slinky dog and Mr. Potato Head).

The story is simple enough for the youngest audience member, yet is sophisticated enough with just the right touches of humor to entertain the oldest family member. It will engage your imagination and that of your children in a heart-warming tale of love and loyalty.

It’s a fun tale that opened the way for Toy Story 2 and 3, which are also great family movies. Don’t miss it, Toy Story will take you “to infinity and beyond!” You may find yourself owning the complete Toy Story movie collection.
