Toy Story
Animated cowboy's adventure
Toy Story is a 1995 Pixar animated film about toys that come alive when humans aren't watching—the first feature-length movie made entirely with computer animation.
The title now refers to the franchise of sequels it spawned.
The film's premise has become cultural shorthand for imagining the secret lives of inanimate objects: Every kid who saw Toy Story started wondering if their toys moved at night.
