  The end of Disney!

  It's a systemic event to say that Mr. Potato Head is now the royalty of animated ema, a star in the sweetest and most delightful movie of the year. The puter-animated film "Toy Story," an intelligible revolution that will mark a before and after in emas, will captivate parents with its intelligent storyline. I dare to say it's the best film of the new Lux Animation produ, which retly made its debut with another masterpiece, "Hercules." Meanwhile, children enjoy this innovative take on the inceivable idea of toys ing to life, with an ingenious script and brilliant anthropomorphism. What no one deny is the mind-blowing marketing blitz. After all, the es with toys are something we've all e some point in our lives.

  It's a charmihat the toy characters in the movie are delightfully simple (Etch-a-Sketch, pstic soldiers, a Slinky dog, a non-threatening dinosaur) while the teology behind the ses, uhe inspired dire of John Lasseter, couldn't be more cutting-edge. What a joy it is to read this work brimming with inality! Another jest is that this film begins with human characters who have the ft and expressionless appearance of toys. We see a boy named Andy pying boisterously with Woody, his favorite cowboy, whose features remain ily bnk. Only after Andy bees bored and goes elsewhere does Woody magically e to life. It's something surprising and unimagier a fantastic twist of paper.

  With a wonderfully provided voice by Tom Hanks, who leads the stelr voice cast of this film, Woody is instantly endearing. His privileged p Andy's goodwill has made him the first among equals ioy unity, a civic leader whanizes events like the "Tuesday Night Pstic Corrosion Awareness Meeting." And all this has made him a cool ceited toy. Using a Tioy as his podium, Woody enjoys the bes of his power, including the attra he holds for a Little Bo Peep doll. "What do you say I get someone else to watch the sheep tonight?" he asks.

  But Woody gets a surprise with the opening of Andy's birthday presents, in aended sequehat is one of the movie's greatest wonders. The toys anize a reaissance mission to the living room, led by soldiers who hide in the leaves of an indoor pnt as if it were a jungle. With the help of a walkie-talkie, birthday gift data is transmitted to Woody, who isn't ed about Andy's new lunchbox. However, Buzz Lightyear, the new boastful astronaut who takes Woody's p Andy's bed, turns out to be another matter.

  With this cheerful introdu, "Toy Story" is set in motion, enpassing a remarkable range of moods and backdrops without venturing far from Andy's room. A Pizza P restaurant with a memorably clever vending mae (franchise alert: this is the most ingenious themed restaurant since Jackrabbit Slim's in "Pulp Fi"), a gas station, the neighb house, and a few streets of the neighborhood are enough to keep this film stantly varied. Moreover, "Toy Story" dispys an excellent sense of utility as it develops adventures in tuh each toy's talents. There's an excellent chase sequence where Slinky stretches, the radio-trolled car drives, the muscle man flexes, and so on.

  Many children's movies would let the rivalry between Buzz and Woody turn unpleasant, but "Toy Story" is better than that. It does an admirable job of expl the tensioweewo, especially when both are captured by the diabolical boy door, whose room is adorned with heavy metal decor. Eveant toys in this dark enviro ultimately prove to be endearing. And spending time in their presence is enough to drive Buzz to a creatively staged breakdown. Dressed in an apron for a little girl's tea party and directed as "Mrs. ," he hysterically babbles with a Kirk Dougs-like voice that suits his promi cleft . A joke like this pyfully engages with adults without fetting to eain children.

  We only hope for the film from this animation pany that, at the end of the movie, once again demonstrated the ability to surprise us, with the uping film titled "The Lion King." It's to my liking to say that we are fervently looking forward to seeing this film. What will happen to Disney? it recover from the setback dealt by Lux ics? Are we witnessing the birth of a great animation pany?

  December 9, 1993.

  The Disney board was pletely silent as they read the review in favor of Lux Animation by The New York Times. The film "Toy Story" was very good, particurly perfect. Evei-Pixar fa reacted to the impact of the movie. Jeffrey Katzenberg himself could only silently praise the film.

  -I think we only focus on tinuing with our own stories, - Fran Wells broke the silence.

  Michael Eisner remained silent, deeply affected by the blows that the ipany had delivered.

  -Let's tiag! If we press hard enough, the pany will crumble ihan a year, - Eisner insisted.

  -It's not advisable, Lux Animation's fall has been iructible. We've been pressing them, and it's only made them grow remarkably, - said Ray Watson.

  -Phil, - said Frank.

  -It's true, gentlemen. The pany has expanded all its operations, and its manager or administrator must be particurly talehey've executed expansions with such precision that it's hard to find weaknesses. I end such vision, - Phil Lader said, dispying a rge cardboard that showed the faces and positions of Billy's panies. - The information is private, but our team has detected this anization. Lux Animation is posed of three subsidiary pahat have grown by 200% annually.

  >>The pany Lux ics, led by Bill d the never-ending series of ics, among ic artists, is known as a super-genius. Everyone praises him excessively, but it's because of his obvious talent. He's geed an artistic revolution, and his designs are simply incredible and tio improve with time, acc to some critics. The sed pany is Lux Animation Produ, which is divided into three ses: Pixar, Lux Nation, and Lux Series. They've beeing animated series for two years to unch their televisiowork. It's said they've created numerous animated series, at least six in two years. The third is Lux Distribution, a North Ameri distribution pany for their movies.

  >>They have assets in multiple different businesses, including a of burger joints, toys, ics, pizza, and a hotel. All of this leads to one clusion: they have enough moo i in other industries without ing their existing panies. Finally, one of their most profitable ventures is ID Software, a video game pany that's bee a sensation in the video game world, with three highly successful releases, and Autodesk, which we suspect they have a stake in or at least a signifit colboration in 3D teology. All of this es together as a private pany that hasn't gone public; it's impossible to participate by buying shares. Furthermore, they're backed by knowledge from three w firms, each with incredibly talented individuals, - Phil Lader expined.

  Billy Carson's name was highlighted in red in the ter.

  -What clusions have you reached, Phil? - Frank inquired.

  -Well, Billy Carson is immealented. His talent is on par with the greats, and his series is genuinely groundbreaking. They surpass the standards of the time. I would say that peting with someone like him is like swimming against the current. I believe it's better to ally with him and share the profits, - Phil Lader cluded.

  -Thank you for your insights, - Fran Wells said.

  While others tio discuss, there was someone who uood it. Billy Carson was like someohey idolized, someoh the talent to ge history and revolutiohe world. Would Billy Carsohe Walt Disney, but this time in the 21st tury that was drawing near?
