ToyStory VHS 1996
October 29, 1996 The first VHS release of the film from the introductory year of curved eyebrow roofed McDonald's buildings Disney takes you where no movie has gone before in creating this totally terrific Toy Story, the year's #1 box office smash. The first full-length film animated entirely on computers, it captured audience's hearts with a wonderful story that takes place inside an amazing three-dimensional world. As six-year-old Andy's favorite toy, Woody (Tom Hanks), a take-charge, pull string cowboy, was confident in his role as room leader. But after Andy's birthday party, newcomer Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), a flashy space ranger, sporting laser action and pop-out wings, crash lands into Woody's world. Buzz instantly wins the admiration of Andy's other toys, igniting a rivalry that lands the duo inside the house of Sid - the toy torturing boy next door. To escape Sid's evil plans, Woody and Buzz must work together and realize they've got the perfect friend...in each other! Voiced by a powerhouse comedic cast and featuring Randy Newman's Academy Award nominated music, Toy Story etched its name into motion picture history and earned director John Lasseter a Special Achievement Academy. Now you can collect Disney's "four-star, supercharged" (USA Today) movie marvel on video. The front cover features all the films main toy characters. It shows Buzz Lightyear flying in the air with Woody holding onto his arm in Andy's room with Bo Peep, Mr. Potato Head, Troll, Hamm, Slinky Dog, Sarge and Rex watching them on the bed below. Woody and Buzz are riding RC. Some Aliens are above them. There are two images, one with Woody and the Mutant Toys and one with the Green Army Men
