#99 on 2007 AFI 100 Greatest Movies of All Time
#6 on AFI's Top 10 Animated Films
The next movie on the AFI list: Toy Story. I wasn't really looking forward to this one all that much, because I'm not really into animated movies anymore. Mike, on the other hand, had never seen it. I have no idea how he never saw Toy Story, but it was in the theaters when he was a freshman in high school, so I could see how it wouldn't have been a cool movie to go to. Anyway, he had never seen it, which I didn't figure out until almost the end of the movie, when he said "oh, that's interesting" and I realized that he didn't know what was going to happen.
I don't have a whole lot to say about it. It's a pretty great children's movie. It's very clever. I'm pretty sure it changed animated movies as we know them. But I'm just not that into animated movies anymore, so, while it was entertaining, it just didn't cause much conversation.
We then had to decide where this should go on our list. I, personally, would have put it at the end, but Mike wanted to put it ahead of Ben-Hur, just based on entertainment value. And I can go for that, so that's what we did. But I don't think this movie is going to be moving very far up our list.
