Genre: family - toy story opening

Toy Story is a very successful film that was released in cinemas 22 March 1996. The film was directed by John Lasseter starring popular actors Tom hanks (Big) and Tim Allen. The film starts with production company sequences Pixar and Walt Disney which is then followed by the opening plot line. The genre is clear to the audience straight away as it is an animated film which uses bold childish colours.The movie starts with the main character Andy playing with his toys which also suggests the genre. At around 1:50 the main plot line is introduced to us and a sharp camera animated movement is made which is effective

The character is introduced to us in the first 2 minutes as the stereotypical boy child playing with his toys and being imaginitive.


I think the first opening minutes achieve the genre,location and description of character and plot.
