Don Rickles has the screen role of his career (not that "Kelly's Heroes" was Oscar material) as a prickly Mr. Tom Hanks was the biggest star of the moment when "Toy Story" came out, and he works with that likeability by creating a stable center as Woody the cowboy doll. The voicings of the various toys add to the enjoyability. If Andy was a real boy of his time, there would be a computer and a TV/Nintendo, and not much else. That may be the reason the 1990s bedroom of young Andy is populated by playthings of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. "Toy Story" is the kind of children's movie adults can enjoy just as much, because it very cleverly mines deep deposits of nostalgia from the memory banks. Just in case you were also wondering what happened to all the toys that went missing when you were a kid, the answer is clear: They escaped.
