I like Wallace and Gromit, and I love Toy Story .... for my 40th birthday I went out with my workmates to see Toy Story 2 ... we had a brilliant time, and I got a model of Bullseye. (Which I lost when moving house .... dang).
The best bit was the 'out-takes' at the end. Fantastic.
To infinity - and beyond!

I am very interested in the Universe. I am specialising in the Universe and everything surrounding it. - E. L. Wisty
I love 'The Big Knights' too. A friend of mine taped most of them off the telly and we all sat and watched them one afternoon, before role-playing.
I love Pixar's out-takes. Whoever came up with the idea of deliberately animating out-takes is a genius. My favourite TS2 out-take is where Buzz's wings pop out, and Woody has written 'This space for rent', on them.
Toy Story 2 moved my liver a foot to the left after Glasto a few years vback - my tent was in the direct line of the bass bins for the cinema screen. Very strange experience...

This is the work of an Italian narco-anarchic collective. Don't bother insulting them, they can't read English anyway.
Pixar's new thingamabob just came out-- "Finding Nemo," very very very very VERY FUNNY! THings to watch for: Dory and speaking whale, Crush the sea turtle (duuuuuude) and Jacques the French cleaning crab on top of Mount Wannahockaloogie.

Revolt! Revolt! No matter why or when,
It's novelty--old novelty again.
Didn't Pixar do a version of "Gerry's Game" also? That makes me laugh every time I see it.
A Toy Story joke I liked was the toy tool set Buzz used to try to fix his ship. It has "Benford" stamped on it -- "Benford Tools" was the made-up sponsor of "Tool Time," the home improvement show on Tim Allen's sitcom, "Home Improvement."
One of the biggest laughs about 'Toy Story' was on Mattel, who refused to let Barbie appear, because they thought the movie would be a flop. Only went and won a special achievement Oscar, didn't it ? Funnily enough, Barbie condescended to appear in the sequel.
