In this episode, we talk about minutes 5 and 6 of Toy Story! Woody and the rest of Andy's toys come to life, and Woody and Slinky gather everyone up for a staff meeting. Plus, we discuss why Mr. Spell and See 'N Say should get their own movie, which character from The Office each toy would be, and how Toy Story saved the Etch-A-Sketch!

In this episode, we talk about minutes 3 and 4 of Toy Story! "You've Got a Friend in Me" plays, a bunch of opening credits are shown, and Woody finds out that Andy's birthday party is happening that day. We discuss things like the most disgusting sound ever, a hidden Monty Python reference, and Andy's mom's questionable wallpaper choice. Plus we ask: Why does Woody's "toy mode" face change, and do toys feel pain?

In this episode, we finally get into the movie and talk about minutes 1 and 2 of Toy Story! We discuss Toy Story's box office and awards, the various iterations of the Walt Disney Pictures logo, and explain the history behind a few of Andy's toys. Plus, is the Robot character an early version of WALL-E? Why does Andy put a choking hazard in Molly's crib? And why the heck didn't Tom Hanks win the Annie Award for Best Achievement in Voice Acting for this movie?

In our very first episode, we introduce ourselves, give a poorly prepared history of Pixar, and talk about our plans for this podcast!

CORRECTION: The Pixar documentary that we reference in this episode is titled The Pixar Story, not Inside Pixar, as we stated. Inside Pixar is a documentary series on Disney+ and is also worth watching.
