The Complete Toy Story Collection: Toy Story / Toy Story 2 / Toy Story 3 [DVD] [2010]

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.

Was just perfect. Exactly what I ordered, and delivered with care.

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.

I've wanted to purchase this trilogy since the third film was released but I didn't purchase this until about two months ago because the price had come down to just over £12. The first film has impressive animation for 1995 and it was a childhood favourite. The second film is an improvement over the first with new characters such as Jessie, Bullseye and Stinky Pete and it has some hilarious scenes. The third film is my favourite and is the most bittersweet of them all with a mixture of funny, sad and dark moments. I also love 'Day and Night,' the short film that preceded this one in the cinema and it's a lively little extra on the DVD. All in all this is the best trilogy of Disney DVDs I've ever bought and they were well worth the money. 5/5.

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.

Fast delivery and excellent condition. I dropped a star on the rating due to the fact that the dvds will not play properly in my sons portable dvd player. We travel a lot and he loves to watch films in the car so its a shame that he cant watch his favourite films on the move however great little box set for AT HOME ONLY and reasonable price. Would definitely recommend x

So it's a bestselling Disney cartoon and I'm in my late 60's. So what?. I loved it and watched it over and over and over and then lent it to the family of kids next door, so it gave a lot of pleasure to a lot of people. The best Disney stuff never ages and is for all ages. I've gone on to Nemo and all the adorable jungle animals in other series and they are all so enjoyable and memorable . Great value for money especially as they never age.

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.

Magnifique coffret de cette trilogie incroyablement réussie par les studios Disney PIXAR. Ce coffret BluRay est exceptionnel. Nous y retrouvons tous les personnages qui nous ont tant ému et fait rire : Woody; Buzz; Jessie; ZigZag; Rex ... Ce qui est époustouflant c'est le travail réalisé sur l'image et le son surtout sur le 1er épisode qui fête son 20 ème anniversaire cette année. La qualité est au rendez-vous bien plus que sur le format DVD qui était déjà assez exceptionnel. De plus ce qui est enrichissant et plaisant pour les fans ce sont les bonus ( en quantité ) entre makings-of; coulisses; bêtisiers; courts métrages ... plus de 6 heures de suppléments vous combleront de joie et vous replongerons en enfance. Je recommande ce coffret à tous les fans petits et grands de TOY STORY.

クリスマスはこの映画です。

I'm not going to bother writing a review of the movies contained within this box set, because you either know and love them or you WILL know and love them. However, I do want to point out that the toy box set, while creatively-designed, don't work particularly well for the discs contained within, as they are slotted within foam fittings that just don't compare to proper individual jewelcases. Lastly, the region-coding: the movie DVDs are coded for the US, and while the Toy Story 1 and 2 Blu-Rays are encoded for all three regions, Toy Story 3 is Region A only. Still, if you can play these movies, get this set. I don't think it can be any more simply-put than that.

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.

rifinita e curata in ogni minimo dettaglio. Non occorre aggiungere molte parole per descrivere questi capolavori dell'animazione Pixar. La confezione si presenta subito compatta e solida, niente ammaccature né deformazioni. Le dimensioni sono le solite ravvisabili in qualsiasi blu-ray disc. Qualità audio e video veramente ottime, specialmente se riprodotte su TV all'avanguardia e di grossa ampiezza. Ogni CD contiene anche parecchi contenuti speciali sul making of, realizzazione e animazione dei personaggi, scene inedite, e tanto altro. Con questo cofanetto quantità e qualità sono assicurati, per di più ad un prezzo stracciato. Se siete degli appassionati Pixar questa raccolta non può assolutamente mancare nella vostra collezione; se invece state cercando un film o una serie di film d'animazione che possa intrattenere il vostro bimbo non troverete di meglio: Toy Story è il non plus ultra! Tutti e tre i film si riguardano più volte senza fatica (ve lo dice uno che avrà riavvolto la pellicola una ventina di volte dai bei tempi andati). Inoltre all'interno troverete anche una copia digitale scaricabile per tutti e tre i film, così potrete vederli su qualsiasi device (dal PC all'iPad), oltre ai punti Disney di cui non conosco veramente la funzione ma che sembrerebbero essere utili per ottenere sconti o promozioni nel Disney Shop. Acquisto assolutamente consigliato.
