Saltzman Sees...Toy Story 3 (2010)

Toy Story 3 is just the next example of how Pixar has become the pinnacle for amazing family pictures.  It has taken the spirit of Disney, with the technology of Pixar and the talent of it's actors to create priceless motion pictures by the bundle.  This third take on the adventures of Woody and Buzz might be the most tender of the collection.  The end sequence alone as Andy finally decides what to do with his toys, is movie magic that will live with us forever.

It is the Best Family Picture of 2010 because it pulls at all the right heart strings and teaches us a new lesson about friendship and loyalty that the other two became famous for.

Saltzman Sees...Toy Story 2 (1999)

Toy Story 2 is the first sequel in the Disney Pixar franchise is also one of the best movies of 1999.  The second installment of the Toy Story empire is just as heartwarming and just as fun as the first.  It introduces new characters to 'Andy's Room' and includes one of the most beautiful, emotional sequences in the company's history...(You Tube Clip below)

Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are just as fabulous in the sequel, and the message this franchise sends through their movies about loyalty and friendship are second to none.

It is the Best Family Picture of 1999.

Saltzman Sees...Toy Story (1995)

Pixar began a phenomenon that has taken Disney beyond anything anyone could ever have anticipated.  Disney has always been the king of animated features, but with Toy Story, it has become the king of computer animation.  Tom Hanks and Tim Allen lead a brilliant cast that has spawned not only two more Toy Story movies, but a collection of masterpieces in cinema.  At the time, nobody knew what a gold mine they had, but now director John Lasseter is one of the most successful directors/producers in the world.

When the newest toy threatens the establishment, they all must learn to work together.  This is one of the finest films about teaching family the importance of sticking together.  It is my choice for Best Family Picture of 1995.
