In 1995, an animated film swept the attention of countless audiences, and at the same time took away the global box office of 354.3 million U.S. dollars. It successfully saved Pixar, which was on the verge of bankruptcy at the time, and brought it back to life. It is a well-known animation blockbuster[ Toy Story].
[Toy Story] is not only the box office miracle of the year, but for us it is the best memory of childhood in our hearts. This cartoon that turned out that year brought an unprecedented movie-watching experience. Its mystery stems from the dedication of Pixar. [Toy Story] is the world's first animation produced by a computer. Depending on the complexity of the shots, the production time for each frame ranges from 4 to 13 hours. The entire working system consisted of 87 dual-CPU and 30 4CP Sparc workstations and a Sparc1000 server. Such a complicated production team was not uncommon at the time. In order to vividly show the personality characteristics of the toys in the film, Thomas Porter, the company responsible for visual effects, is so subtle that when each character blinks, they are not at the same time, but one at a time. Not only that, in order to simulate the walking attitude of the toy soldiers in the film, the production staff even glued the sneakers to the wooden boards, and personally wore them to experience the feeling. It is precisely because of a large number of such precise details that make [Toy Story] a new eye and eye compared to the previous cartoons, its leading in production technology is tantamount to subversion.
In addition to its technical advantages, [Toy Story] cannot be underestimated in terms of "soft power". The voice of the toy cowboy Hudy in the film is the Hollywood superstar Tom Hanks, in addition to Tim Allen and Tang Ricks, Wallace Sean and other new and old celebrities also gave their voices. With excellent production skills and lively and interesting plot settings, the [Toy Story] series has left an indelible chapter in the history of animated feature films.
