The Toy Story films
Each movie and special's synopsis is from Disney+
Set in a world where toys have a life of their own - when people are not present - Toy Story takes moviegoers on a fantastic fun-filled journey, viewed mostly through the eyes of two rival toys: Woody (Tom Hanks), a pull-string talking cowboy, and Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), a heroic space action-figure. The comically mismatched duo eventually learn to put aside their differences when they're seperated from their owner, Andy, and find themselves on a hilarious adventure-filled mission...where the only way they can survive is to form an uneasy alliance.

Toy Story was Pixar's first full length feature made entirely with CGI and introduced animation in a new way to the world. Pixar set the bar on animation and Toy Story is a timeless classic when studying animation and how far animation has come.
The toys are back in town and ready to oplay once again. This comedy-adventure picks up as Andy heads off to Cowboy Camp, leaving his toys to their own devices. Things shift into high gear when obsessive toy collector, Al McWhiggin, owner of Al's Toy Barn, kidnaps Woody. At Al's apartment, Woody discovers that he's a highly valued collectible from a 1950s TV show called "Woody's Roundup" and meets other prized toys from that show: Jessie the Cowgirl (Joan Cusack), Bullseye the horse, and Stinky Pete (Kelsey Grammer). Back at the scene of the crime, Buzz Lightyear and the gang from Andy's room spring into action to rescue their pal from winding up as a museum piece. The toys get into one predicament after another in their daring race to get Woody home before Andy returns.
