The "Toy Story" films accomplish what timeless classics aim for - innocent characters who face an endless trail of adventures.
Larger-than-life characters make up about .01 percent of the world's population.
Even if a story has nothing to do with my life, if I can recognise something of myself in the character and think, 'Oh yeah, that's what I'd do...' yeah, that's what I look for.
If I have no connection with the character, then it's all fake - it's just blah, blah, blah.
The Pixar people continuously amaze me. They come up with something that actually looks as though it takes place in this happy, real-world. Every plot line is not just plausible, but oddly authentic. The stories are full of adventure, humor and love. The characters are written with great human dimension. I don't know how they do it but they astound me.
