The Complete Toy Story Collection: Toy Story / Toy Story 2 / Toy Story 3 [DVD] [2010]
R**D
One of the most essential things to EVER have in your life!
Toy Story. WHAT a film. When Disney partnered with Pixar Studios, the collaboration produced an absolute masterpiece, that was both beautiful and utterly groundbreaking. The concept of a secret world where toys come to life was believable and inspired, and it was executed with such charm. The story had a ton of heart, unforgettable characters, flawless score and voice-acting, and the computer generated animation was simply gorgeous, paving the way for the computer animated films we see today.Since the Oscar-winning film triumphed at the box-office in 1995, the rest is history. Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, the Incredibles, Wall-E and Up have all come and achieved classic film status, but none of those films may have come to be if not for Toy Story. It's truly the definition of perfection, even after fifteen years. Toy Story 2 was a sequel that was equal to the first film in every way conceivable and Toy Story 3 proved that the very rare feat of making an outstanding third entry - one that matches the quality of the first two - CAN be achieved.So, now that the whole Toy Story saga has concluded (after a ten year gap between 2 & 3!), the time has definitely come to release all three films together in one box set. And it's truly one of the most perfect movie trilogies to purchase, not just for kids, but for adults as well. Each film has a different story but all symbolise powerful themes such as love, rejection, ownership, loyalty, mortality, bravery, friendship and the sheer ability to triumph over incredible odds, all in an effort to survive and find a way home.The box set basically collects three individual DVDs; the Special Editions of Toy Story 1 and 2, and Toy Story 3. Again, each film is an absolute triumph, an artistic masterpiece that completes an essential trilogy that doesn't disappoint. From start-to-finish, both individually and as a whole, the Toy Stories feature true groundbreaking animation and the plots to match (which is what we've come to expect from Pixar). Even today, after everything Pixar has produced, the animation in the first Toy Story remains as beautiful and seamless as ever. The second film is easily on a par with its predecessor and the third part honours both its prequels in worthy style, resolving the saga with an utterly satisfying conclusion.And of course, the films are worth watching alone for the colourful cast of characters, headed by Woody the cowboy doll (voiced by Tom Hanks) and space-ranger Buzz Lightyear (voiced by Tim Allen). Both of whom are backed up by the likes of Bo Peep, Jessie the Yodelling Cowgirl, Mr and Mrs Potato Head, Hamm the Piggy Bank, Rex the Dinosaur, Slinky Dog, Bullseye the Horse and of course, their human owner, Andy. Watch out also for the notorious set of baddies, ranging from evil toy destroyer Sid Phillips, greedy toy collector Al McWhiggin, Stinky Pete the Prospector, Evil Emperor Zurg (Buzz's arch-nemesis) and the two-faced Lots-O-Huggin' Bear. Expect Randy Newman's wonderful score to pop up throughout along with the enchanting song "You Got A Friend In Me", as well as various alternate versions and other melodies.Each DVD comes with its own set of special features, which are more or less the same. So expect good things for each film like director's commentaries, storyboards, shocking studio stories, animated shorts, sneak peeks at other Disney Films and more. Due to typical Disney quality, you can expect a clean, crisp picture and sound quality on all three films, along with useful subtitles and fab widescreen presentation.The Toy Story Trilogy is an utterly worthwhile experience that is equal to the sum of its parts. If you haven't got any of the films individually, then its worth buying the Complete Collection. Either way, all three films represent not only Pixar's finest work, but a phenomenon that literally changed the course of animation forever. I truly believe there's not a single bad thing that can be said about the whole Toy Story epic. It's utterly essential for anyone and everyone. No better family viewing.

Absolutely Brilliant
This series of films is exceptional in that they are all really good. No slapped together storylines here. Each film has a new story to tell and, if anything, with each release the films just got better and better. My daughter saw the first film when she was a child and she saw the last film with her 6th form schoolfriends, which upset me as I didn't get to see it at the cinema. In the first film you get to meet all the characters and of course the story revolves around the introduction to Andys bedroom of Buzz Lightyear and Woody losing his place as Andys favourite toy. The fun lies in the fact that Buzz doesn't realise he is just a toy but believes he is a Space Ranger. The growing friendship between Buzz and Woody is perfect. In the second film Woody is taken by a toy store owner to complete a collection from a TV cartoon series. This story revolves around the remaining toys attempt to rescue him. I love the little added touches like the Barbie doll during the end credits!! The third film now has Andy as a teenager who is about to go to college and doesn't play with his toys anymore. He bags them up to put up in the loft but, mistakenly his mother thinks they are to be donated to the local nursery where there is a definate hierarchy amongst the older toys. I don't want to give the story away but I must say that I shed a tear at the end. I think every home should own all three of these entertaining films. You won't be disappointed.

Probably the best trilogy ever.
These films are awesome for any age.For toddlers a good way to introduce them to these films is to watch the 1st one several times with them.Then go and do the same with the next, then the next.The characters are very strong and kids seem to attach themselves to them immediately. Very clever stuff.The story telling is fantastic, good pacing and cover a huge range of ideas and morals.Kids learn from every source of information around them. These films are wholesome and morally strong.Woody especially has several tough, sometimes heart wrenching choices to make. The consequences of these choices is portrayed in an entertaining way but the outcome, good or bad is clearly shown. Great stuff for kids... and some big uns.There are moments where lumps may need swallowing down the throat, from the 1st film to the 3rd these moments are progressively worse. Many men wet the cinemas with their tears apparently. The kids obviously take it in their stride.Highly recommended for all ages.

LOTS O FUN
Loved Toy Story 3 when I first saw it at the cinema this summer so thought that it would be a good investment to buy the boxed set when it was released - and not disappointed. Enjoyed watching TS3 second time around on DVD even though I knew the story - but I still cried at the end (I suppose that it didn't help that I'd been emptying the loft that day and unearthed my daughter's Barbie dolls and childhood boxed games!). But I'm a big fan of Lotso - queued to have my photo taken with him in Disney's Hollywood Studios this summer and now have "our" picture on a mouse mat (even purchased the interactive Lotso to keep my teddy bear collection in check!). Anyway, love TS3 - adults will appreciate the story more than children and I'm sure that it will be remembered as a Disney classic - definitely a film that everybody with children, or who was a child once (!), should have in their collection.

Única pega los idiomas
3 películas por muy poco precio. La única pega, qué se le puede encontrar, es que no se puede poner en español, solamente inglés, árabe, ruso, y algún otro del estilo. En mi caso le pongo las películas en inglés a mi hijo por lo que no fue un problema, pero si me sorprendió.

Toy Story... The Full Story.
Hi,I grew up with the first two in this trilogy and with the third movie, it grew up with me. Andy grew with me. I was his age for the first two and his age for the third, which I think they managed to do marvelously to captivate the audience that grew up with these movies and for a new generation to discover these gems. But if you're ordering this, you don't need me to tell you about how amazing the movies are, you want to hear about the product. Well first off, you're going to read a lot of mixed reviews about this, mainly the packaging. But let me tell you how it really is. It's, as you can see from the images, a western carriage with "stickers" on it. I love the western theme, but I would have liked if the stickers were relevant to the movie, as they are random. But all in all, it's a good sturdy box, that as soon as you look at it, makes you think of the beginning of the first movie, which is what I think Pixar is wanting you to do. But, the "stickers", some of them, have to do with Pixar movies. There is a Nemo sticker, Mater, and a couple space ones, for Buzz. There's also a snake one which I assume is for there's a snake in my boot. The other ones, may signify what Andy has done to this "toy" over the years as he's grown showing more of his personality outside the movie. Inside, you will find 10 discs carefully placed inside a foam guard. There are no crystal cases, which in some reviews I've read people have been angered by, but I much rather like this display, because I am one who is careful with my movies. However, this is something you may want to keep out of reach of children to prevent damage. It comes with, as it says, DVD, Blu-Ray, and Digital copies, which I find awesome, I immediately put my digital copies on my ipod to find it's so crisp and clear, way clearer than any version I've seen before, in theaters, other DVDs, etc. I have no Blu-Ray player so this has me braced for the future. The bonus features are different than if you have the two disc special editions of Toy Story 1 & 2, but for the third one, you gain more special features. As I will post down below after this review. I have the separate discs, and this box set and am very happy with both. The box set I would consider more for collectors, but the regular discs are something different as well. Some will say the packaging is a weak attempt from Disney but it did not let this hardcore fan down. As well, if your a member of the fabulous Disney Rewards Club, the collection comes with THREE codes to help you upload the digital copies to itunes but as well as helps you redeem 125 points from EACH of the movies in the box to use for Disney Rewards.In my review, I give this product 9/10.And now, as promised, here are the special features you will get with these DVD's (from Amazon.com because Amazon.ca doesn't have a list of these)Special FeaturesToy Story:'Toy Story 3 Sneak Peek: The Story'Buzz Lightyear Mission Logs Blast off'Paths to Pixar Artists'Studio Stories: John's Car, Baby AJ, Scooter Races'Buzz Takes Manhattan'Black Friday The Toy Story You Never SawToy Story 2:'Director commentary'BD Live-portal (BD only)'Toy Story 3 sneak peek: "The Characters"'Buzz Lightyear Mission Logs: International Space Station'Paths to Pixar: Technical Artists'Studio Stories: Toy Story 2 Sleep Deprivation Lab'Studio Stories: Pinocchio'Studio Storyies: The Movie Vanishes'Pixar's Zoetrop'Celebrating our friend Joe RanftToy Story 3:'Day And Night Theatrical Short Filmmakers Commentary With Commentary By Director Lee Unkrich and Producer Darla Anderson'Bonus: The Gang's All Here - A look at the returning voice talent for Toy Story 3.'Toys! - A look at all the toys from updating classic characters to developing the Sunnyside Daycare and Bonnie's Room toys.'Buzz Lightyear Mission Logs: The Science of Adventure (conj with NASA)'Paths to Pixar: Pixar Editors, past and future, share anecdotes about their career path.'Studio Stories: Where's Gordon?
