Toy Story was the first feature-length completely computer-animated movie released by Disney. At least one earlier attempt to create a computer animated feature had been tried before Toy Story, the announced movie The Works, which was never finished. Toy Story was also Pixar's first feature film. It grossed $191,773,049 in the United States and it took a grand total of $358,100,000 worldwide. The primary characters are toys in the room of the six-year-old boy Andy, and is mostly told from their point of view. Andy, his baby sister Molly and mother have smaller roles, as do the neighbour boy Sid, his dog Scud and sister Hannah.

Before Pixar's entry into the feature film-business with Toy Story, Pixar was known for developing the Pixar Image Computer.

Plot

The film begins from the point of view of Sheriff Woody (Tom Hanks), a cowboy doll who has been Andy's favourite toy for many years. As favourite toy, Woody is the de facto leader of all the other toys in Andy's room, including Hamm (John Ratzenberger), a cynical piggy bank, a sarcastic wise-cracking Mr Potato Head (Don Rickles), Slinky Dog (Jim Varney), Woody's best friend, and Rex (Wallace Shawn), a dinosaur with an inferiority complex.

Woody calls for a "staff meeting" among the toys to discuss Andy's family's upcoming move, due to take place in one week. As part of this meeting, Woody announces that Andy's birthday party is that day (as opposed to next week, after the move), resulting in panic and terror from the other toys. Everyone is afraid they will be replaced. Woody, of course, remains calm since he is Andy's favorite toy and expects to never be replaced by another toy. The meeting is broken up by Hamm, who has spotted the birthday guests.

With each guest to arrive, the presents they bring for Andy come in larger and larger boxes, which does nothing to relieve the toys' concerns. To calm everyone down, Woody sends a reconnaissance group of green plastic soldiers, led by Sarge (R. Lee Ermey), who uses a baby monitor to scout the party and report what Andy gets. There are no new toys at the party until mom pulls out another box, but the soldiers are cut off and the toys can't hear what the new toy is. They hear the kids are coming upstairs. Most of the toys rush to their places before Andy returns. When Andy arrives, Woody is brushed out of his place — the middle of the bed — and onto the floor to make space for the new toy.

Once the kids leave to eat cake, Woody climbs back on the bed to see who this is that could have displaced him. The mystery toy is the famous Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) action figure, with many different features such as an LED laser, electronic voice simulation and pop-up wings. All the toys are impressed with him except Woody, who starts to grow jealous of Buzz as he shows off what he can do, such as flying around the room, which Woody calls "Falling with style."
