Visual - Toy Story Film

In this blog I'll be talking about one of the biggest landmarks for Pixar in the history of CGI animation, that is Toy Story and it was the full 3D animated feature length film. Released in 1996 the franchise was so successful they released a second and recently brought the story to an end with a third. Being such a landmark film there isn't a need for me relay the plot but you for visual purposes the trailer is below.

The films were always enjoyable for me as a child as well because they were animated with children in mind, even still being from my past I thoroughly appreciated the third. Not only because I felt like a chapter had finished in my self and the film but the how far the difference in detail has came since the first. To create films like back then required bespoke and custom written programs with the aid of Maya or 3DsMax were only affordable by movie grade companies, now these animations become achievable with an average off the shelf computer.

After doing some deeper research I have come to find that Toy Story is actually born from a previous short animation created by Pixar, called Tin Toy Created 1988 it also the academy award for 'Best Animated Short Film', at around 6 minutes long they didn't think it was long enough and wanted to create a sequel that was 30 minutes in length.  In they end they suggested to just make it a full film, here is Tin Toy below.
