Please note that Disney Rewards are not available in the US (only available in the UK). Toy Story There is greatness in a film that can be discussed, dissected, and talked about late into the night. Then there is genius that is right in front of our faces--you smile at the spell it puts you into and are refreshed, and not a word needs to be spoken. This kind of entertainment is what they used to call "movie magic" and there is loads of it in this irresistible computer animation feature. Just a picture of these bright toys on the cover of Toy Story looks intriguing as it reawakens the kid in us. Filmmaker John Lasseter's shorts illustrate not only a technical brilliance but also a great sense of humour--one in which the pun is always intended. Lasseter thinks of himself as a storyteller first and an animator second, much like another film innovator, Walt Disney. Lasseter's story is universal and magical: what do toys do when they're not played with? Cowboy Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks), Andy's favourite bedroom toy, tries to calm the other toys (some original, some classic) during a wrenching time of year--the birthday party, when newer toys may replace them. Sure enough, Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) is the new toy that takes over the throne. Buzz has a crucial flaw, though--he believes he's the real Buzz Lightyear, not a toy. Bright and cheerful, Toy Story is much more than a 90-minute commercial for the inevitable bonanza of Woody and Buzz toys. Lasseter further scores with perfect voice casting, including Don Rickles as Mr. Potato Head and Wallace Shawn as a meek dinosaur. The director-animator won a special Oscar "For the development and inspired application of techniques that have made possible the first feature-length computer-animated film". In other words, this movie is great. --Doug Thomas Toy Story 2 John Lasseter and his gang of high-tech creators at Pixar create another entertainment for the ages.

Son loves toy story!
Bought this for my Toy Story obsessed son. He loves this box set. I just wish it would also come with the digital code to watch where we don't have a DVD player but it's still great!

Hesitant at first but so glad I purchased!
I have to write this review, because I was so worried from all the other reviews that these Bluray discs were not going to work in my Bluray player... I actually put the set in my basket and purchased and then continued to read reviews and ended up canceling the order.I looked for the movies from other retailers and you can’t even get one movie for the price that this seller at Amazon is selling for all three... So I contemplated how much I had to lose—under $25–and put the movies back in my basket and purchased. I am so glad that I did!The movies arrived quickly with Prime and in good condition. They looked like all my other Disney Bluray movies. I immediately opened them up and started to play them in my LG Bluray player that I purchased at Walmart a few years ago. The first one played just fine. I skipped through every chapter, and no problems! The second and third discs were perfect as well. Sound was good, picture was good and all the original actors were voicing the characters in English (I had read some reviews that the original actors weren’t voicing the characters...)And... not only did they play in my LG Bluray player, I tried them out in my car rear entertainment center Bluray player and they worked perfectly in there as well!So, if they are “fakes”, I can not tell. I will be able to let the granddaughters catch up on 1, 2 and 3 just in time for Toy Story 4 to come out in June! Very pleased, and glad I made the purchase!!

The ASIN B010FURLH4 UK Release is All Region - Works in my Region A Player Perfectly
I've seen several reviews complaining about a UK release of all three Toy Story movies won't play in North America. The UK (i.e. Great Britain) is in Blu-ray Region B. North America is in Blu-ray Region A. ASIN B010FURLH4 is Region Free.https://www.amazon.com/s?k=B01FURLH40It will play in any Blu-ray Region: A, B or C. I've tested it in an All-Region player that can be set for any region and the discs are all marked for all three regions. I've also seen complaints some of the discs won't play, or stop and lock up when playing the movies. All three of mine played just fine and I've got a Blu-ray scanning utility that checks disc integrity. All three passed without any track or sector errors.I will skip reviewing the movies themselves as they are so well known at this point and there are zillions of reviews on them elsewhere (use Google). As I would expect with modern animations, the transfers are impeccable with exceptional audio. This UK release is currently (as of writing this) the perfect "budget" alternative to the US release which is nearly three times as expensive (and IMHO overpriced).

This is a good deal!
To begin this review off, I want to refer to all the other posts that are bashing amazon for "false advertising."In the product details section, it says you will only receive 3 discs in this set. Each disc is a Bluray/Bluray 3d which means that you get two discs in one basically. If you read all of the fine print I'm surprised you skipped over that. You would've realized you were only receiving three discs - one for each movie.Aside from that, I purchased the other three movies in blu ray combos very cheap on the internet. About ten dollars for each to be precise. Each of the Bluray 3D combos are overpriced at a whopping $40! $120 for all three movies?! That's insane! If you want to get the 3D Experience and still have other discs to pop into other players, I recommend buying this and then some of the cheap, original blu ray combos on eBay that are little to nothing.You'll save yourself a lot of money.In total I spent around $90 for all three movie sets including this wonderful 3D bundle amazon has.$90 is better than $120 dollars.For anybody who thinks they would've gotten a better deal just buying all three combo packs at $40 dollars a pop... you're crazy!Save yourself some money and buy this!As a side note: I will tell you that the 3d video quality for all three movies is superb and the audio is great as well. I've now seen the first and second Toy Story's like never before.
