It established Pixar and led to the death of Western 2D animated films, it also kind of led to more sophisticated (western) animated films that were/are primarily marketed to children.

yep

the toy story series is one of the best stories told in any medium ever

so simple but so effective

George Lucas's impact is crazy

I wouldn't say it influenced much of anything. They were just first to adapt to new animation technologies. Eventually someone else would have come along and made a 3D animated movie.

When you look at the current state of animation it looks like sony pictures animation is currently spearheading new forms of animation with movies like the Mitchells vs the machines and into the spiderverse

LoTR Trilogy way more influential

Best 4 movie series of all time

There's a snake in my boot

Could definitely see that as a strong argument.

most influential movie in the last 30 years???? Hmm no that actually belongs to Food Fight tbh

They werent the first 3d movie they were just the first to be considered good.

Which is a huge achievement in a realitively new medium.

And they knocked it out of the park way more than anyone prior, 3D was considered a gimmick and a fad before Toy story.

Its more than just "being first".

They also personalized a lot of the tech themeselves.

I’d give that title to 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain but Toy Story is probably in the top 5

not liking toy story is a red flag tbh

i get not seeing it as a kid but watching it later and not liking it?

Wouldn’t say influential tho

On this and The Godfather

You clearly haven't seen the new number one hit streaming film on Tubi "The Stepmother" starring Marques Houston and Erica Mena:

There’s a good case to say it’s actually Jurassic Park or Raimi’s first Spider-Man if we’re just talking about mainstream movies. Toy Story’s influence is limited to other animated movies.

I think toy story 1 is the first movie I remember watching
