Disney's Toy Story and Toy Story 2 DVD set presents both films with impressive 1.77:1 widescreen anamorphic transfers. Both display wonderful lush colors and clearly showcase Pixar's inventive computer animation. The Toy Story 2 disc also offers the option of choosing a 1.33:1 full-frame version of the film. While this variation looks decent, it falls short of its widescreen counterpart. Both movies also contain THX-certified 5.1-channel Dolby Digital audio tracks that bring the music and sounds to life in a powerful manner. While neither one is groundbreaking, they both provide clear sounds and fail to distract in any way. The highlight of the extra features is a collection of creative "outtakes" from the production of Toy Story 2. They show the animated figures missing lines, acting clumsy, and playing practical jokes on each other, which leads to plenty of silliness. This disc also contains Luxo Jr., an Academy award-nominated short film that goes back to 1986. This extremely brief feature showcases the lamps that play prominently in the Pixar logo.
There are also six Disney previews here, including trailers for The Emperor's New Groove, Fantasia 2000, and Monsters, Inc. The Toy Story DVD includes Tin Toy, a clever animated short that has a baby chasing around a tiny toy soldier. This is the only supplement on this disc.Can you construct a bridge out of LEGO?

"My structure was a building with all the lights on at night. I illuminated it by using 5 candles.""I made a fort with no ceiling, just a bar across."by Alex K. age 10, Dana Point, California, USA."My Lego creation is a home-made flash-light.
It is 3 inches long by 2 inches high and 2 inches wide. It uses a Mindstorms N.X.T. light sensor functioning on lamp mode color red. The light is enclosed in a Lego box to illuminate things."Very smart design combining LEGO with Mindstorms N.X.T. I love how this home-made flash light shines red! Nice compact design.by Jonathan, age 6, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA."I floated my boat on water in the dark. I shined a light to look like moonlight."I love how you combined two LEGO Quests in one with this awesome creation. You've got Buoyancy and Illumination. This looks like a lonely ship in the night. Is your glow coming from a flash light by any chance?by Nathan, age 10, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA.Dinosaur "I made this model with LED Lego lights in the dinosaur's eyes."by Logan age 7 and Connor age 5, Nova Scotia, Canada."Rock Monster Crystal Cave."by Austyn, age 6.5, Ontario, Canada."We finally visited Toronto. We went on the subway and went up the CN tower. We walked on the glass floor and could see just how far down the ground looked.
It was so exciting! Here is, yet another, Toronto Cityscape, set up on a clear flat Lego piece. It is illuminated up, through the buildings, from below by a flashlight on our glass coffee table.""This is a lighthouse. The man looking up is wondering what it would be like to be up on the top of the lighthouse. The battery pack is the generating station which gives the lighthouse power. If you look closely, you may be able to see that the light is on. I hope you enjoy it! (My battery pack and the light comes from my Snap Circuits that I got for Christmas."by Cole, age 4, Nova Scotia, Canada."I love the lighthouse. I use the lighthouse in my stories about pirates and ships. I put a yellow lego piece inside to make it look like a lighthouse."by Wesley, age 6, Greenville, South Carolina, USA."Instead of lighting up a Lego structure, I used some glowy bricks because they seem to light themselves up when the sun hits them."by J, age 9, Pennsylvania, USA."J loves to build airplanes and so for this week's challenge he added a runway.
We love flying and the lights on the runway help to guide the planes. He used some of the little legos that are like lights."by David H. age 10, London, Ontario, Canada."I used a light to show that there is gold in the mine. I plugged in my night light to shine through the mine entrance.Stinky Pete (Toy Story) is walking into the mine and shouting, "Eureka! by Julius, age 6, Boston, Massachusetts, USA. "This is my light creation. When you pull the little peg the tire falls. It is supposed to be like in an Indiana Jones movie."This totally reminds me of an Indiana Jones movie! When that tire falls, get ready to run for your lives! I love that you used a night light for your light source and that your creation is somewhat kinetic. When you pull the peg you get the action of the tire falling. So cool!by Cooper, age 9, Dayton, Minnesota, USA."I made a candle holder.""This is an Army runway with an airplane landing on it. The lights are to light up the runway at night and to light up the air traffic tower.
I had fun building this!""I had my brother hold a flashlight over my Lego creation. I illuminated the rock monster and the crystal because they are my favorite part of the picture."I received the terrible news that 6 year old Hunter, LEGO Quest participant was diagnosed with Leukemia the other day.
