In my opinion: This movie is a Breakthrough in modern animation and the start of the Computer Animated Movies.
The objects are very detailed for their time.And the Kid's Rooms are very realistic.There is a very good amount of humor in this movie.And the emotions of the Toys are almost like real.The effects are quite good too.The sounds are very nice and real.And the lighting and the shadows are extremely realistic.
The Modelling and Texturing the characters is quite realistic.The Modelers and the Painters managed to make a plastic and fabric effect on the toys.The Actors have done a great job voicing the characters.Every character has a particular accent and that creates a nice atmosphere.

Toy Story is a great movie for Adults and Children.
