Description:

By the mid 90s, Disney was in pretty good shape. They had a sort of resurgence with Alladin and Beauty and the Beast, and the studio seemed to have big plans in order to keep that resurgence in order. Little did people know they would turn the animation landscape upside down with Toy Story. But they didn’t do it alone. With a Steve Jobs-George Lucas deal to sell the technology that would become computer animation, and an off shoot studio called Pixar putting in the blood sweat and tears, Disney really came with guns a’blazing. Almost twenty-five years and four films later, Pixar is still going strong. Join Matt, Law (who seems to be born to be on this retrospective), and myself as we do the first animated series in the Aftertaste’s existence, and explore whether the Toy Story franchise and the movies contained in its realms is just as successful creatively as they were financially.

If there was ever an animated film whose production added up to a nightmare equal to that of this generation’s Jaws, it would be Toy Story 2. Between lost files, babies being left in the cars of exhausted animators, and many last minute story changes, the 1999 sequel -originally intended to go straight to video- had all the makings of a disaster. But the movie was released around Thanksgiving in 1999 and proved to be a huge success, with some proclaiming it one of the best sequels of all time. Join myself, Matt, and Law, as we answer that proclamation, and see if there is another 10/10 like last week.
