Toy Story is a CGI animated media franchise created by Pixar and distributed by Disney, beginning with the original 1995 film, Toy Story. The franchise focuses on a group of toys that secretly come to life and end up unexpectedly embarking on an unplanned, yet life-changing adventure. The first two films of the franchise were directed by John Lasseter and the third by Lee Unkrich, co-director of the second film.

All three films, produced on a total budget of US$320 million, have grossed more than $1.9 billion worldwide. Each film set box office records, with the third included in the top 10 highest-grossing domestic and all-time worldwide films. Critics have given all three films extremely positive reviews.[1][2][3] Toy Story and Toy Story 2 were both released on special Blu-ray and DVD editions on March 23, 2010.[4] They were also re-released in theaters as a Disney Digital 3-D "double feature" for at least two weeks in October 2009.[5][6] The series currently holds the #10 spot in the worldwide highest-grossing film series of all time list and is currently the most critically acclaimed trilogy of all time.[7]

Main article: Toy Story

Toy Story, the first film in the franchise, was released on November 22, 1995. It was the first feature-length film created entirely by CGI and was directed by John Lasseter. The plot focuses on when Woody thinks that Buzz Lightyear, Andy's new space-ranger toy, takes Woody's place as Andy's favorite toy. As a result of Woody's jealousy, he tries to knock Buzz behind a table, but accidentally knocks him out of the window. Determining to set things right, Woody attempts to save Buzz, and both try to escape from the house of the next-door neighbor Sid Phillips, who likes to torture and destroy toys.[8] The film was critically and financially successful grossing more than $360 million worldwide.[1][9] On October 2, 2009, The film was re-released in Disney Digital 3-D along with Toy Story 2 for a 2-week run,[5] which was later extended in conclusion of its financial success.[6][10]

Toy Story 2 (1999)

Main article: Toy Story 2

Toy Story 2, the second film in the franchise, was released on November 24, 1999. John Lasseter reprises his role as director of this movie, and the setting of the film takes place a few years after the events of the first film. It was at the time when Woody gets stolen by a toy dealer named Al McWhiggin and Buzz and several of Andy's toys go around the Tri-County Area to save him. Toy Story 2 was not originally intended for release in theaters but for release as a direct-to-video sequel for the original Toy Story with a 60 minute running time.[11] But when Disney executives saw how impressive the in-work imagery for the sequel was, and due to pressure from the main characters' voice actors Tom Hanks and Tim Allen, they decided to convert Toy Story 2 into a theatrical movie.[12] It turned out to be an even greater success than the original Toy Story grossing more than $480 million worldwide.[13] The film was re-released in Disney Digital 3-D as a double feature with the first film on October 2, 2009.[5]

Toy Story 3 (2010)

Main article: Toy Story 3

Toy Story 3, the third film in the franchise, was released on June 18, 2010. It is the first Toy Story film not to be directed by John Lasseter (although he remained involved in the film as executive producer), but by Lee Unkrich, who edited the first two films and co-directed the second. Set several years after the events of the second film, the plot of the film focuses on the toys being dropped off at a daycare center while their cherishing owner, Andy, is preparing to depart for college. The film contains over 150 new characters, according to Pixar.[14] It is currently Pixar's highest-grossing film of all-time worldwide, surpassing Finding Nemo and as of August 2010, surpassed Shrek 2, thus becoming the highest-grossing animated film of all-time worldwide. It has grossed higher than the first and second films combined, making it the only animated film to date to have crossed the $1 billion mark.[15] It was released on DVD and Blu-ray on November 2, 2010.[16]

Future

According to an article on NOLA.com, Toy Story 3 director Lee Unkrich has confirmed that Toy Story 4 is not planned. "Well, we don't have any plans for Toy Story 4," Unkrich said. "I'm flattered that people ask about it -- it reminds me how much people love the characters, but it was really important to me with this film that we not just create another sequel, that it not just be another appendage coming off of the other two." However, he did say, "there may be opportunities for Woody and Buzz in the future, but we don't have any plans for anything right now."[40] In an interview with MSN, Unkrich says, "We have announced we're going to do a short film in front of Cars 2 that uses the Toy Story characters. We're going to keep them alive; they're not going away forever."[41][42] The name of the short was revealed to be Hawaiian Vacation.[43] In it, Ken and Barbie want to go to Hawaii,[44] but get left behind and Woody, Buzz and the other toys from the previous film intend to console them by "improvising an island vibe".[43] In the same year, a second Toy Story short will premiere before the The Muppets.[45] This will be the second time a Pixar short will air with a non-Pixar animated film, after Tokyo Mater aired with Bolt. It has also been reported that Tim Allen has signed on for a Toy Story 4 if Pixar ever decides to produce one.[46]

In an interview with the BBC on 27 June 2011, Tom Hanks said that there would "probably" be a Toy Story 4, and suggested "I think they're working on it now". [47](note: relevant clip is right at the end of the interview).[48]

Buzz Lightyear of Star Command

Main article: Buzz Lightyear of Star Command

Buzz Lightyear of Star Command is a spin-off TV series which is based on Toy Story. The series takes place in the far future, a pastiche of Star Trek and Star Wars-style science fiction. It features Buzz Lightyear (voiced by Patrick Warburton), a famous, experienced Space Ranger that takes a crew of rookies under his wing as he investigates criminal activity across the galaxy, and attempts to bring down Evil Emperor Zurg once and for all. It aired on ABC from August 8, 2000 to January 13, 2001.

Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins (2000)

Main article: Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins

Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins is a spin-off animated direct-to-video film, partially based on Toy Story. The film was released on August 8, 2000. It acts as a pilot to the television series Buzz Lightyear of Star Command.[49] In this film, Buzz Lightyear is a space ranger who fights against the evil Emperor Zurg, and canonically this shows the inspired existence of the Buzz Lightyear toyline that exists in the Toy Story series. Tim Allen reprises his role as the voice of Buzz Lightyear. Although the film was criticized for not using the same animation as in Toy Story and Toy Story 2, it sold three million VHS and DVDs in its first week of release.[50][51]

Video games

The first video game in the franchise originated back in the fourth generation of video games, titled Toy Story. It was released for the Sega Mega Drive, Super NES, PC, and Game Boy. A video game based on the second film, Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue, was released for the Dreamcast, PlayStation, Nintendo 64 and PC. Another video game based on the third film, Toy Story 3: The Video Game, was released for the PC, Wii, PS3, Xbox 360, PS2, PSP and Nintendo DS. Pixar created original animations for all of the games, including fully animated sequences for the PC titles.

Two other games were also released: Toy Story Racer (PlayStation and Game Boy Color) and Toy Story Mania! (Wii).

A video game based on the television spin-off Buzz Lightyear of Star Command was released for the Game Boy Color, PlayStation, and PC, sharing the same name as the television show.

Woody and Buzz Lightyear were originally going to appear as summons in the Final Mix version of the Disney/Square Enix video game Kingdom Hearts II. They were omitted from the final product, but their models appear in the game's coding, without textures. The director of the Kingdom Hearts series, Tetsuya Nomura has stated that he would like to include Pixar property in future Kingdom Hearts games, given Disney's purchase of Pixar.

In Japan, a video game based on the second film, Toy Story 2: Woddy Sousaku Daisakusen!, was released for the Sega Pico. Another game based on the third film, Shūtingu Bīna: Toy Story 3: Woddy to Buzz no Daibōken!, was released for the Advanced Pico Beena.

Merchandising and software

Disney's Animated Storybook: Toy Story and Disney's Activity Center: Toy Story were released for Windows and Mac.[52] Disney's Animated Storybook: Toy Story was the best selling software title of 1996, selling over 500,000 copies.[53] Toy Story had a large promotion prior to its release, leading to numerous tie-ins with the film including images on food packaging.[54] A variety of merchandise was released during the film's theatrical run and its initial VHS release including toys, clothing, and shoes, among other things.[55] When an action figure for Buzz Lightyear and Sheriff Woody was created it was initially ignored by retailers. However, after over 250,000 figures were sold for each character prior to the film's release, demand continued to expand, eventually reaching over 25 million units sold by 2007.[56]


Theme park attractions

Toy Story and its sequels have inspired multiple attractions at the theme parks of Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Hong Kong Disneyland, Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris:

  • Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin at the Magic Kingdom casts theme park guests as cadets in Buzz's Space Ranger Corps. Guests ride through various scenes featuring Emperor Zurg's henchmen, firing "laser canons" at their Z symbols, scoring points for each hit.[57]
  • Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters at Disneyland, is very similar to Space Ranger Spin, except that the laser canons are hand-held rather than mounted to the ride vehicle.[58]
  • Buzz Lightyear's Astroblasters at DisneyQuest in Walt Disney World, despite the nearly identical name to the Disneyland attraction, is a bumper car style attraction in which guests compete against each other not only by ramming their ride vehicles into each other, but also by firing "asteroids" (playground balls) at each other.[59]
  • Toy Story Midway Mania! at both Disney's Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World and Disney's California Adventure in Disneyland features a series of interactive carnival-type games hosted by the Toy Story characters. Guests ride in vehicles while wearing 3D glasses, and using a pull-string canon to launch virtual rings, darts, baseballs, etc. Disney announced an update to the attraction to add characters from Toy Story 3 several months before the film's release date.[60][61]
  • Toy Story Playland at Walt Disney Studios Park & Hong Kong Disneyland is a Pixar themed area designed to help promote Toy Story 3. It is designed to "shrink the guest" down to being the size of a toy, and to play in Andy's Backyard with his toys from the movies.[62][63] It will do this through using highly immersive theming, using bamboo to act as giant blades of grass surrounding the area, the use of many themed props and characters from the Toy Story movies such as a giant Buzz Lightyear, a giant Rex, an oversized paper plane and a large ball from the first Pixar short, Luxo Jr. The area will also feature many photo opportunities.
  • World of Color at Disney's California Adventure is a large night time water and light show. Some of the scenes projected on the water screens feature animation from the first two Toy Story films.[64]

Impact

Toy Story had a large impact on the film industry with its innovative computer animation. After the film's debut, various industries were interested in the technology used for the film. Graphics chip makers desired to compute imagery similar to the film's animation for personal computers; game developers wanted to learn how to replicate the animation for video games; and robotics researchers were interested in building artificial intelligence into their machines that compared to the lifelike characters in the film.[65] Various authors have also compared the film to an interpretation of Don Quixote as well as humanism.[66][67] In addition, Toy Story left an impact with its catchphrase "To infinity and beyond!", sequels, and software, among others.

"To infinity and beyond!"

Buzz Lightyear's classic line "To infinity and beyond!" (which is similar to the caption 'Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite' in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey) has seen usage not only on T-shirts, but among philosophers and mathematical theorists as well.[68][69][70] Lucia Hall of The Humanist linked the film's plot to an interpretation of humanism. She compared the phrase to "All this and heaven, too!", indicating one who is happy with a life on Earth as well as having an afterlife.[67] In 2008, during STS-124, astronauts took an action figure of Buzz Lightyear into space on the Discovery Space Shuttle as part of an educational experience for students while stressing the catchphrase. The action figure was used for experiments in zero-g.[71] Also in 2008, the phrase made international news when it was reported that a father and son had continually repeated the phrase to help them keep track of each other while treading water for 15 hours in the Atlantic Ocean.[72][73]
