TOY STORY 3 DVD MENU TV

What matters more is the (Toy) Story itself! And it is just fantastic! I had really high expectations of this film and honestly, after seeing it, my expectations were surpassed! The plot is really emotional, with so many nostalgic moments. But still it feels like 100% Toy Story, with all the improvements, somehow I don't feel this 15-years-wide gap between the first and the third part. and for the 1st time in 3D! No doubt that the animation is better than ever, the guys from Pixar constantly push the limits, but that's kinda natural for them. My brother was fortunate to win an invitation for two (he took a photo of himself with our small collection of Toy Story toys and sent it to the website), and we had the chance to see the third part on its first screening. We were all enchanted! Years later Toy Story 2 came out and it was a blast! Again we all went to the theater to see it and we were so thrilled and excited after the movie! Im 24 now, and just yesterday I was at the Bulgarian gala-premiere of the film. When we are brought a step closer to, or even into, the lives of the characters and therefore made to love our favourite films that little bit more.I was about 10 or 12 when I watched the first Toy Story in the cinema with my little brother and sister. This is where dvd menu screen magic happens. Which is why it fills me with delight to show you the following screen.Īs you can see, the menu designers have really thought about this scene-selection screen, with detail going from Jessie’s hat pin-badge, to the wall paper in the back ground that makes us so aware that we are interacting with the digital character Andy’s ACTUAL OWN notice board, with the scenes being photographs of his own memories.

However, the fact that the menu appears on a tv screen - although one that is seen in the films - is not at all imaginative, as that is how it would appear on the viewer’s real, physical tv screen in their living room, if the menu makers had simply put words on the screen.Īlthough this tv screen in a tv screen technique appears apt for a film as utterly postmodern as toy story 2, this is something either unintended, or simply misguided, because this postmodern flare will be lost on the majority of viewers, who will simply skip straight to the “play movie” option as though there is not a whole world of delight to be discovered in pondering, analysing, concentrating on and staring intently at the dvd menu screen.Īlas, I feel that this is the case for not just this particular dvd menu screen, but for the majority of them - which is mostly the point in this site, because i believe that this art form is cruelly unappreciated.Īlthough, one could argue that it deserves to be ignored with the lack of effort shown by one of the worlds most attentive-to-detail film teams in the above screen shot. The use of characters in the menu is well done - they have used familiar and new characters alike - which is good for those who are seeing the film for the first time - as this screen acts as a point between the first and the second films.

I am, of course, talking about the most consistently brilliant film company of the last 20 years, Pixar.īut I’m not here to sing the virtues of their films, I’m here to see if those production values and that consistent quest for perfection extends from their films all the way to the oft-overlooked art form that is the DVD menu screen. Their production values are huge, they never seem to hit a bum note, always bringing out films that really show what a bunch of perfectionists the team must be. I thought I would kick my DVD menu screen review site off by doing a few reviews based on a company who I consider to be one of the best film production teams out there.
