Toy Story

John Lasseter · 1995

Toy Story follows Woody, a cowboy doll who becomes territorial once space ranger toy Buzz Lightyear replaces him as a boy's favourite. John Lasseter directed the first entirely computer-animated feature and the first film produced by the newly founded Pixar, working from a script substantially rewritten after Disney rejected early story reels as too flat. Made on a $30 million budget under a deal that gave Disney full ownership of the characters, the film earned $373.6 million and became the first animated feature nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.

Toy Story 2

John Lasseter, Lee Unkrich, Ash Brannon · 1999

Toy Story 2 has Woody stolen by a toy collector who plans to sell him to a Tokyo museum, forcing Andy's other toys into a rescue mission while Woody weighs eternal preservation against a childhood that will end. Originally planned as a direct-to-video cash-in, it was rebuilt into a theatrical Pixar film on a compressed nine-month schedule, going on to gross $497 million against a $90 million budget and a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score.
