Bullseye, Jesse and Woody in Toy Story 2
The Big Picture When Toy Story was released in 1995, it made movie history and forever changed how most animated movies were made. In the early 1990s, animated films were as hot as ever, thanks to huge Disney hits like The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King. Their style of hand-drawn animation was a beauty to behold. Then came a little-known company named Pixar and their fully computer-animated film about a child’s toys who come to life when no one is looking.
Computer animation had been attempted on a smaller scale before, but it usually looked clunky and unrealistic. Toy Story’s animation was jaw-dropping in that it made these toys look so lifelike. To go with it, the film also had a fun and emotional story about friendship, with Hollywood’s biggest names like Tom Hanks and Tim Allen voicing the adventure. We might take the Toy Story franchise for granted, but in actuality, we should be grateful we have it at all.
Release Date November 24, 1999 Director John Lasseter , Ash Brannon , Lee Unkrich Cast Tom Hanks , Tim Allen , Joan Cusack , Kelsey Grammer , Don Rickles , Jim Varney Runtime 92 minutes Main Genre Animation Writers John Lasseter , Pete Docter , Ash Brannon , Andrew Stanton , Rita Hsiao , Doug Chamberlin 'Toy Story's Computer Animation Changed How Movies Were Made Toy Story was a huge success, becoming the third-biggest movie of the year at the box office.
Related Are We Taking Pixar Movies for Granted Now? Pixar once ruled animation with unforgettable hits, but recent films like 'Luca' and 'Turning Red' haven't garnered the attention they deserve. If not for Susman having a child, which gave her a reason to work from home, Toy Story 2 would have been gone, so it is her now-grown child who should maybe be thanked for Toy Story 2’s existence.
Today, it’s normal for so many of us to work from home, but that didn’t happen so much in the 1990s. Here, that then-uncommon practice happened to save an entire film. If a new mom ever needs to give her boss another reason why she should work remotely, then the tale of Toy Story 2 is certainly the one to tell.
