Dynamic Duo: Two rival toys join forces in a fast-paced finale to reunite with their beloved owner,
Andy. The first animated feature to be created entirely using computer technology, “Toy Story" was
produced in collaboration with Pixar, a Northern California-based pioneer in computer graphics, and
directed by John Lasseter. Ralph Guggenheim and Bonnie Arnold were the producers with Edwin Cat-
mull and Steven Jobs serving as executive producers. Based on an original story by Lasseter, Pete
Docter, Andrew Stanton and Joe Ranft, the screenplay is by Joss Whedon, Andrew Stanton, Joel
Cohen and Alec Sokolow. The supervising technical director is William Reeves. Renowned songwriter
Randy Newman wrote and performed three new songs for the film and composed the underscore.
