“It’s not flying, it’s falling with style.”
Toy Story tells the tale of the sentient toys of Andy’s bedroom who come to life when we’re not looking. While an out of context synopsis of the movie sounds like a horror movie, the adventures of Woody and Buzz Lightyear would turn out to be an impossible to understate influence on the entire film industry. Clint, Cal and Alex talk about believing your toys are real, how film history can be split into the eras of pre and post Toy Story and what’s REALLY the most unrealistic part of the movie..
Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm is blowing up Combat Carl’s in its backyard…

I was 20 when this movie came out. I remember going to the theater with a couple of my buddies to watch 12 Monkeys, but ditching them when I saw the theater was showing Toy Story, which my buddies weren't interested in. Never regretted that decision.
Sid's a danger to overcome rather than a villain. All kids can be dangers to toys.
Cinefix Top 10 Gamechanger film list would be worth making. I mean the technical shifts colour, sound, animation, CG etc. Storytelling & genre changes like Rashomon, or how Night of the Living Dead changed the word Zombie. Cinema movements like New Hollywood, 90s Indie, French New Wave, Blockbusters etc. There's definitely a list somewhere here.
WIND THE FROG
The first movie I remember seeing as a kid. Even then I remember being aware of how much of a big deal everybody considered this movie. Really like how you guys related the plot to Pixar taking the place of legacy Disney animation. I don't know if they could have planned that. I don't think they knew at that moment traditional blockbuster animation would become obsolete, but it's an interesting connection I never thought about.
One interesting thing about Sid – he doesn't know the toys are sentient. He's just a creative kid. Yeah, he's not super nice to his sister in one scene, but he's not all that different from Jack Skellington really. I think a missed opportunity in Toy Story 3 – as much as I adore that movie as is – is that they only brought Sid back for a cameo as the garbage collector. Because at this point, he is literally the only person who knows that toys can come alive. I like to think that the experience of being scared by Woody and company would have a woken his empathy, and he could have started to treat toys very differently. Maybe he would have started to repair toys, perhaps inheriting Geri's profession. I think it would have been neat to see an actual conversation between Sid and Woody.
Top game changers in cinema would make a great list. Maybe a future series? I love these long form episodes
I would love to see Cal's Top 10 Influential Movies list
Molly is the little sister. Bonnie is the little girl from Toy Story 3
Sid was either that one kid you knew or you were that kid: dysfunctional home or not.
He also says one of my favorite lines which attributes to the movie’s tight script!
When his sister Hanna cries to their mom about what he did to her doll and he says: “She’s lying! Whatever she’s saying is not true!!” 😂
Toy Story is a special special film, I think its the greatest animated film period. You guys talking about it had a smile on your face the whole time, the feelings you had towards the characters, world, realism in the most artificially made film ever at the time is truly incredible. #1 on my Letterboxd, next to 2001: A Space Odyssey and Apocalypse Now
I knew this had to be in, I just fucking knew it
I was 13 and saw Toy Story in the theatres. And i loved it. It definitely still spoke to me
My daughter was a few months old when I saw this film.
And they all collectively forgot about Galaxy Quest!
I still always laugh at, “Wind the frog!”
Dude – Nic Cage as the announcer in the TV commercial. Perfect cameo to compliment the rest of the perfect cast!
Buzz: Local law enforcement. It's about time you got here.
For MVP, the name you are looking for is Ed Catmull (check out his Wikipedia page). He was a computer graphics nerd/genius who co-founded Pixar, and had been relentlessly pursuing the ability to do feature-length computer animation for his entire career.
I have to ask …who TF is Dan??
My brother and I were the core demographic for Toy Story – I was 6 and he was 5. He got a Buzz for Christmas and I got a Woody for Christmas – we both wrote our names on their feet and still have them to this day… When Toy Story 2 came along we started playing video games – so the iconic introscene was like perfect for us… When Toy Story 3 came into cinemas we both were on the verge of finishing school and leaving home in sorts – again like perfect…
I can remember a time before Toy Story – but my Woody doll literally was my longest friend and the one of maybe 3, 4 toys that stayed with me till today.
36:18 I beg to differ, George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher from Cannibal Corpse accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago.
Buzz is alone against the world, and the world wins when Buzz sees the commercial.
Are you guys going to say that The Santa Clause movies are better than Galaxy Quest? WTH guys?
Edit: Good on Michael for the last minute realization!
Glad I waited till the end, but at 1:03:34 , where does Tim's Galaxy Quest performance rank in relation to the Santa Clause? 🤔
Best insult EVER: you are a sad little man and you have my pitty
"One of the Most Consequential Movies Ever Made"… Sure, if you are five years old, or if you are retarded!
I just found out that I am a year younger than Clint 😂 explains a lot lol
Think it’s time for a rewatch
Could it be that the "alone against the world" theme is just about the fact that each of these movies were in only one of your three lists, so in a way the person alone against the world is always one of you three?
Galaxy Quest!!
Andy's mother is alone against the world
