    Teeming with the personality, family-fun and humour you would expect from any product of Pixar, 'Toy Story of TERROR' only leaves you with one complaint: how long the fun lasts.

    Love the story plot, lots of references in the special. Even if it's twenty minutes long, it still had a story from beginning, to end, and some scary moments too. Looks like Pixar still knows what Toy Story is all about. I'm rating this a 8.9, or a B+

    Excellent video. just the style of Pixar studios: enjoyable, funny and entertaining.
    Gathers the essence of the movies.When I saw this short film, I want to see the movies again.
    I'm anxious awaiting more material from Pixar studios.

    When this starts out exactly Identity. Or if you are older 10 Little Indians. The animation is spot on. The plot is good and keeps you interested and engaged. The kids will love it the only two problems I saw was it was too short and will only come on for Halloween. Otherwise it is a complete winner.

    Toy Story of Terror is a spin-off TV special, made for Halloween, that takes all the negatives normally related to TV spin-offs and shows what can truly be done.

    I thought Toy Story 3 was the end of the Toy Story franchise! Of course not. Now, they've regressed to being the replacement for charming and original short films at the beginning of Pixar films, and their lovableness is gone, replaced by bad jokes and lame new characters. Disney ruined my childhood.

    Pixar proves once again that it's Toy Story characters are some of the most charming ever created. It was fantastic to see my favorite animated characters together again for another adventure, along with some new faces. All of the original actors come back to lend their voices to the characters, and the whole thing is brimming with the same quality of the movies.

    Animation is gorgeous. Environments and characters look fantastic and the toys really look like they've come alive. The detail in the plastic and fur is unbelievable and some of the environments look incredibly realistic. The story and jokes are top-notch. I have to give special credit for the level of intensity it packs. I found myself sitting on the edge of my seat, just like I did the first time I watched Toy Story 3.

    Maybe the reason I like it so much is just because I am a HUGE of the Toy Story movies. It has the exact same quality, just a shorter running-time. I can't help but recommend this to everyone. It's magical, exciting, funny, and worth every second of the time you'll spend watching it. So if you've ever loved these characters then this is not something you want to miss again.    … Expand

    This short is done incredibly well with focussing on Jessie's fears and a bizarre villain and plot that feels straight out of a kid's imagination. This is definitely one of the better Toy Story shorts.

    I also like about the film where Jessie introduced her fear which was last seen from Toy Story 2 and managed to overcome it with the help of a new character, Combat Carl and not to mentioned the clever Mr. Pricklepants who predicts the following arrangement of the film itself including the credits role.

    Aside from the elements. Toy Story is an elegant film and has brought it the tasty substance which was the reason why it's predecessors where critically acclaimed films. It also boosts it's talented voices from Woody and Jessie.

    The 10 streak is over.... hey, that doesn't mean Toy Story's over yet. We still have Toy Story of Terror which means it's enjoyable as a sole representative to the Toy Story franchise.

    Themes from earlier Toy Story movies are also recycled, which should bother no one. Although Woody and Buzz get their screen time--with Jessie, they are the "Jules et Jim" of computer-animated cartoons about sentient playthings--it is the plucky cowgirl, facing her fears, whose story this is.

    It’s a fun, holiday diversion that gives Pixar fans characters they miss, probably even more so given the films that followed their final adventure.

    ABC's Toy Story of Terror! is a delightful half-hour vignette of gags, action and self-empowerment, couching its never-give-up message in terrific non-stop entertainment.
