Toy Story is the groundbreaking 1995 motion picture developed by Disney and Pixar and directed by John Lasseter. The film was so revolutionary not only because it was the first feature length animation to be created completely by CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) but also, also the film was more rounded in all respects. The characters not only looked more sophisticated and three-dimensional but their personalities were also more human and fewer cartoons like. The film uses a constructed text in order to put across a theme of two very different characters learning to work together beyond their rivalries to rise above a common enemy and work towards a common goal. The film uses characters and imagery very cleverly to

In contrast to what Joe Grant wrote, none of the other segments in Fantasia had the music created for the animation, the music was there first and then created the animations based off of the music. Throughout the creation of this film, there were over 700 animators that worked closely with director, James Algar to make sure every detail of the animations were perfect. These animations were extraordinarily precise as objects came to life or moved on the exact beats going along with the music. It simply takes the audience into a magical world of what is going on throughout the segments whether it be with spirits or dinosaurs. Starting out as a failure after being released and barely making any money, this movie is one of a kind as it rose to fame and reached its peak as the 22nd most grossing film.
