The brushstroke on his boot has locked itself into my mind forever. I can't paint anything without thinking of it. So smooth!

I love at 0:28 for a split second you can see him open a drawer filled with chess pieces

As a kid growing up in the early 2000's, I vividly remember fast forwarding (or rewinding because I was a bad kid and would never rewind my VHS tapes, even from BlockBuster. Fuck I'm getting old) to this exact part of the movie.
There was just something about this scene that I was drawn to. Not sure if it was the tool box, the chair for Woody, or the attention to detail, but this scene is a core memory for me.
Fast forward to today, I love wood working and other hands on activities of the sort and am a mechanic by trade.
Some things really do stick with you for life.

There's a video I've seen of someone restoring a pair of leather boots and it has the same feel. It's methodical, purposeful and skilled and for me that's always fascinating to watch.

I love how things influence us differently. Stuff like this, Star Trek, Jurassic Park… they all made me want to tell stories and now I write for a living. It’s beautiful to think of how much something small and meaningful can shape the direction of our lives.

I saw a show by Elf Lyons a number of years ago where she did live foley work on stage to create sound effects for the process of being turned to stone by the Medusa's gaze, whilst narrating said process. It was, indeed, magical.

Alas, no, it was a relatively small production and I don't think they filmed it, sorry.
There's another production company that was doing something similar in the stage version of The Colour out of Space, at the same time, though, which I think still runs periodically, but I wasn't able to go to that one, it honestly sounded a bit too intense for me at the time (I don't cope well with imagery of animal suffering, and it's about an alien, reality-warping force blighting a farm).

Yeah, I mean it's a well done and shot scene but one of the best in Cinema?? Like why.

This is a perfect example of so many things in the art of film making but one thing that gets overlooked is how much rhythm this scene has. It bounces along perfectly. Every shot is the perfect length and depth. It’s film making as music.

It's actually quite impressive that Woody isn't more scuffed up and damaged considering how rough kids can be with toys, and how he took him everywhere for a while.

I watched the first 3 Toy Story’s back to back recently and they’re obviously still amazing. I’ve never watched the 4th one though but I did hear it was pretty good.

I watched them with my toddler recently and it was my first time watching TS3 and my god did I cry like a baby at the end. My son? Completely unphased.

Couldn't agree more. The attention to detail also makes so much more better then it already is.

For some reason this screencap of the scene looks awful. I just watched this with my son a week ago and the whole movie looks great, still holds up.
