Plot Summaries of the Toy Story Movies
Disney Pixar has released so many computer animated films in the past several years and all of them are successful. However, it cannot be denied that all of these started from the first Toy Story movie which was shown in 1995. Now, Toy Story 2 has already been released and was shown 4 years after the showing of the first Toy Story movie. Recently, the creators of this classic children’s animated movie produced and made Toy Story 3, which will make it an animated film trilogy.
There are three Toy Story movies, and each has its own plot, although the major characters remain the same. To give you an idea about the different plots of these three Toy Story movies, check out the short descriptions below.
Toy Story (1995)
The first Toy Story is all about a young boy named Andy and his toys that come to life whenever nobody’s looking. Andy has a favorite toy, an old-fashioned pull string cowboy toy named Woody. He is also the leader of the other toys inside Andy’s bedroom. However, when a new toy with cool high tech features called Buzz Lightyear entered the scene, Woody got jealous and tried his best to sabotage Buzz. But at the end of the film, Woody and Buzz set aside their differences and became friends and the whole toy group’s leaders.
Toy Story 2 (1999)
This Toy Story movie revolves around Woody being kidnapped by Al McWiggin, a greedy man who collects toys and has his own store. Andy left Woody behind to go to his annual cowboy summer camp because Woody’s arm was broken. The other toys led by Buzz try to rescue Woody.
Toy Story 3 (2010)
This latest, and probably the last, installment of the Toy Story movies. Although the people behind this animated film still have not yet revealed the film’s exact plot, there have been talks that this story will focus on a grown-up Andy, and whether or not he will outgrow his beloved toys.
