  Ok, hear me out. Toy Story is actually just a retelling of the 1963 Doctor Who Story &quot;An Unearthly Child&quot;.<br><br>Both feature characters who dislike each other but must reluctantly come together to escape from a terrible situation they accidentally ended up in while becoming friends by the end.

  &quot;We toys can see EVERYTHING...<br><br>So play. Nice.&quot; Such a good scene

  The jokes in this movie. They&apos;re so, so dark and so good. The fact that they can pull a complete existential crisis being that funny while also being deeply complex and tackling serious topics like depression and purpose is astounding. Pixar just doesn&apos;t do it like this anymore.

  Whew.... watching this, it puts the line Woody gives Buzz as he&apos;s about to lose his grip on the moving truck strap and likely be torn to shreds but Sid&apos;s dog has CRAZY extra weight.<br>&quot;Take care of Andy for me.&quot;<br>That&apos;s the line showing how far Woody has come. He thinks his life is over now, this is it, last thing he wants Buzz to do for him is take care of his kid. The scene doesn&apos;t last long enough on that to imply that emotional weight, but that just came to me.<br><br>And I REALLY HATE how that line works as a mirror in 4, which shouldn&apos;t exist!

  To be fair, Slinky was more friendly to Woody than the others. He was the first to trust Woody enough to climb (with Buzz) across the string of lights out the window, and the last to leave in that scene.

  The development and relationship of Woody and Buzz over the Toy Story films is EASILY the best character development of any Disney/Pixar movie.

  Despite the fact that Woody’s personality is a lot different in this movie, compared to the sequels. Being more stubborn, immature, wimpy, arrogant, irritable, and paranoid, I still think this is the best incarnation of him, since he’s just so freaking hilarious! Tom Hanks was at the top of his game in this movie. The way he delivers Woody’s sarcastic remarks and frustrated tantrums is just top notch! <br><br>“Ah-ha. Ah-ha! Give me that!”<br>“Shut up! Just shut up, you idiot!”<br><b>”YOU ARE A TOY!!!”</b>

  I always loved the half of the film that largely takes place in Sid&apos;s house. The darker atmosphere and trapping our 2 main characters who don&apos;t exactly like each other in this dangerous situation together has always been awesome to me

  Woody is Toy Story&apos;s equivalent of Tony Stark from the MCU. Both of them undergo a transformation from being selfish to selfless in their respective franchises.

  Anyone realize that had Buzz not been knocked out the window he&apos;d probably abandoned Andy at Pizza Planet?

  Fun fact: the release of Toy Story (1995) is closer in time to the Moon Landing (1969) than to today.
