I remember growing up, watching Pixar movies with my family. Their bright colors and playful characters were perfect for entertaining us children and even the adults. I always wanted to watch “Toy Story 2” directed by John Lasseter because I was afraid of the first film. What really got me was the scene where they met all of Sid’s creepy creations, especially the baby head. Though when I was older and no longer afraid, I realized how much meaning there really was in “Toy Story”. It even holds great morals that can reflect on some of the rules from “Choosing Civility” written by P. M. Forni. Woody at first was very unsure of Buzz and did not like him because he was now the cool one and Buzz had a few of his own problems that Woody tried to help him with including thinking he was real and not a toy but through their adventures they learned that they needed to work together to get back to their favorite kid, Andy.
Therefore, they should do what they can to be there for him. One day, however, Woody ends up going against some stiff competition. During Andy’s birthday party (which they learn is happening a week early before they move to another house), Woody and the team discover that Andy has been given a particular birthday present, one that he seems very excited about. Upon discovering this new toy, Woody immediately grows his own concern when it begins receiving more attention than him. This toy is Buzz Lightyear, a space action figure which the other toys take to very quickly, impressed by his extra features. Time goes on and Woody takes notice that Andy has even replaced many of his cowboy-themed room decorations with science fiction-related ones, indicating his excitement for ownership of the new action figure. Woody also takes notice of Buzz’s strange activity and belief that he really is the actual Buzz Lightyear, and not just a simple piece of plastic with electronic lights and
Toy Story – Toy Story is the ultimate tale of a mismatched odd couple.

The very best Pixar films aren’t just children’s movies with references and touchstones to keep the adults interested; they’re ambitious, complex, deeply layered movies for grown-ups that happen to be populated with characters, colors and primary stories that appeal to children as well.
I always loved the movie Toy Story as a kid. My dad bought me a Buzz Light Year toy when I was in first grade. I took
I liked the artistry of the movie. It is a light, bouncy, and candy-colored movie. I liked how they made everything to be easily understood by the children. The movie was really colorful and an eye-opener. How they portrayed the Truffula Trees was really good. The trees were really colorful. The musics used in the movie were really nice
We all know Pixar for their entertaining, lovable, animated movies that not only share valuable themes for children, but also their parents and older audiences as well. From 1995 when Pixar released the first “Toy Story” film to this day, many people have grown up watching the gang of toys go on their adventures (up 1). Teaching its audience many meaningful messages, from the importance of friendship, to simple lessons like respecting your belongings. The films have an effect on the audience in a way that they are able to connect to the characters of the story. Every character has their own struggles to overcome and show us different values to embrace in our everyday life. In addition, the trilogy of all the movies as a whole enlighten us with the fears we have about change, and also how it can be inevitable and rewarding.
The movie is able to capture the great voices of the characters and easily match it up with the amazing drawing skills of the animators at Walt Disney Studios. The characters drawn in a great way and have great actors voicing behind them.
A movie about an evil doll that is trying to kill the people, who own it, may sound familiar to countless other movies with the same idea in mind, but what made Annabelle such a big anticipated movie would be that it is based on a true doll and it is a prequel to the big hit The Conjuring. Since The Conjuring was a great movie with a good scare factor, Annabelle would have to be just as good. However, after waiting in line for a prolong time and watching the movie, that was not the cause and all of the excitement for the movie diminished. Not many horror movies give the gut wrenching chills now in days, but Annabelle was a strong candidate to bring back the meaning of horror.
