I wonder if the people who dreamt up the original concept for Toy Story knew it would be as big as it is...
Woody the Cowboy, Buzz Lightyear, Rex, Slinky, Mr Potato Head and every one of the other characters have such strong identities that they all deserve a mention, but it would get a bit boring.
I'm sure you have your favourites and those who really irritate you - Bo Peep is the irritating one for me, Buzz is so arrogant in the first movie he's fabulous and Mr Potato Head wishing for a Mrs Potato Head tickles me no end.
For those of you with younger children you might already have Toy Story 1 and, maybe, 2 on DVD already but for us parents with teenagers (like me) will only have these movies on good old VHS tapes!
This makes £9.99, with free UK delivery, for the 2-disc DVD box set a complete bargain especially when the rrp should be £22.10.
Ask anyone for a Toy Story catchphrase and they'll most likely come back with "To infinity...and BEYOND!" - with the enduring appeal of the Toy Story movies and the pomp and ceremony currently surrounding the release of Toy Story 3, I think infinity and beyond is the answer to the question: How long will Toy Story 1, 2 and 3 be popular for?
