Confessions from a female filmaholic: Number Five - Number 99 Toy Story....and some filler

I'm so happy that a Pixar film is in the list and of course, it had to be Toy Story. And I got the chance to rewatch it on the big screen and in 3D. Excellent!

What can I say, it's amazing, especially as the first time I watched it, it was on video. I haven't seen it for some years so it was brilliant to see it again. Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are perfectly cast alongside other amazing talents, including Pixar regular John Ratzenberger. They all sound amazing and you know it's good casting when the actors make you forget that they are the big star names that they are!

(Sorry if this review is a bit shoddy, I'm a bit ill at the moment, woe is me.)

I do think that if you saw the film when it came out (whether young or old, as it was the first ever CGI animated film so everyone was in awe) and have recently rewatched it, then that magic that happened when you saw that wonder unfold, that feeling is recaptured, at least it was for me. Obviously if you are watching it for the first time (in this year) then comparing the film to all the films that followed it, the details, and textures are not as good and looks a bit simple. However I found all of that irrelevant, as the story is still amazing, the jokes still funny, and as I've said the cast fill their parts brilliantly. I still marvel at the Pizza Planet scene and Hammy and Potato Head, oh, and Rex are still easily the funniest characters, and you really get a good sense of the emotions, from TOYS! It's just genius!

If you haven't seen it, you must do.....NOW!!!

And the filler I promised. It's some film related drawings I have done when I was bored, and no they're not traced. There's Mr Frederickson from Up! and then three of the creature from Where the Wild Things Are. Hope you like my little sketching and I'll get the next film asap, just one of those awkward hard to get films.
