Toy Story 2 Pixar (1999) evaluation

Toy Story 2 Pixar (1999)

We have chosen to compare our film to Toy Story 2 produced by Pixar. We feel our film has many similarities and differences which will be outlined in this evaluation. 


Buzz Lightyear - Toy Story
First of all, both films are animated and mainly for children. We can tell this by the use of bright and simple colours. Also the characters of both film opening are likable, interesting and friendly. The characters from Toy Story 2 are good as children can relate to them and they look up to them, whereas in our Children's Film the characters are living their dream as their hero has come to visit them, but Toy Story 2 is basically the lives of Toy's from their owner Andy.   


The music of the Toy Story 2 opening titles fits well with starting action, this music is dramatic and exciting, however the music for Jericho is more calm because there is less action. But this music fits with our style of film and the action on screen. When the main title of Jericho comes on screen the music changes and becomes more entertaining and upbeat.


Toy Story 2's classification is the same as our film which is Universal 'U' as the film basis for Toy Story 2 is for 4 and above, but our film age range is from 2 to 8 years old which falls under the Universal category.


Uses typewriter for part of intro text, whereas we use normal text on FinalCut and use motion keyframes.

Toy Story 2 uses fades at the beginning and end of the sequences and use continuity editing during the opening scene. We only used fade at the beginning of our sequence and the scene we made used limited continuity editing as it was mostly one camera angle. Toy story 2 used a full range of shots including Close ups, long shots medium shots. They also used camera techniques such as panning and tracking. We did not use these camera techniques in our scene.
Close-up shot
Low angle shot
Point-of-view shot
