Why It's So Special: So many of the strange worlds and stories that Pixar ask us to fall in love with work because there’s often a child surrogate on the screen, voicing our own innocence and enchantment.
From Mary Gibbs as Boo in Monsters, Inc. to Jordan Nagai as Russell in Up, directors have coaxed effortlessly warm and funny performances from the kids – but the benchmark remains John Morris.
As Andy, Morris brought such enthusiasm for his toys that we were instantly sold on why Woody and Co were proud to be his – and why the now 25-year-old actor’s return in Toy Story 3 was such a wrenching experience.
Morris speaks: “I remember when the first film came out, I would play, and then I would leave my toys, and I would close the door, and then I’d crack the door open just to peek really quickly to see if they were moving.
Even before working on the film, I had done voices for my toys. When I started getting Toy Story toys, I would do the voices for them from the film.”

One of the many things I love about Pixar is their avoidance of stunt casting, in order to get the best person for the role. Albert Brooks; Ellen DeGeneres; Ed Asner; Craig T Nelson; Patton Oswalt; Dave Foley; None of these would be the obvious Hollywood choices for the lead role in your big summer movie. But they are all perfect...

Don Rickels: of course, everything about Toy Story is amazing because of the genius timing, but still to this day, I call almost everyone an "uncultured swine". Of course, not about Picasso, but actually about movies since I became a movie buff. BTW, if you don't still absolutely love Toy Story even after you've turned 18, you're uncultured swine.
