    The monsters Inc DVD has a "sound only" option so you can watch the movie with just the sounds. Its very fascinating and you can hear the layers and layers of sounds they put into the enviroment.

      That reminds me of some Looney Tunes DVD releases where you could hear Bugs Bunny cartoons with an optional soundtrack-only audio track, or only music and sound effects combined. Basically a fandub heaven inside those discs. Treg Brown is God.

    Toy Story is one of those movies I've seen so many times since childhood that I could probably not only quote the entire thing, but also tell what music/sound effects are playing during any given scene. It's so engrained in my head, still fresh in my memory, that even the sound design still sticks out to me.

  • @hunmiliengtipi9218
    @hunmiliengtipi9218 3 года назад +100

    I guess this is why I really love the scene when all the toys assemble for the staff meeting. We are introduced to them for the first time and yet just from the sound design, like you said Andrew, defines their personality without any need for dialogues! It's great film making.
    A great RUclipsr once said that films are made by cinematographers, set and sound designers, editors. Films are made by filmmakers.

    • @eoincampbell1584
      @eoincampbell1584 3 года назад +5

      It's also a great work around to the fact that many of the toys can barely move. They couldn't be given as much character in the usual ways of animation so sound filled that gap.

      Ok, so I wasn't the only one. Yeah, even when I first saw it at age 4 or 5, the way the film sounded felt so unlike anything else. And it's particular sound has never been replicated in ANY film that's come out since. Not even its 3 sequels. _Toy Story_ 2, 3, &, 4 all sound MUCH more conventional. The original _Toy Story_ was the only one with that incredibly unique, very particular, sound design...

    At a quick guess, it's looks like the height above the floor of the camera is being used to change the scale of the current event. The closer to the floor causes the camera to look up, skewing the angles

    I thought this would be about the voice acting. There's so much energy behind the voice acting in Toy Story that makes you want to animate the scene. There's nothing like the "YOU. ARE. A. TOY!" argument from Pixar anymore. I think their passion for energetic performances comes from them using audio from Turner and Hooch in their test footage which made them cast Tom Hanks.

    Gary Rydstrom is as effective as he is because he IS A STORYTELLER just as much as anyone else at Pixar...which is why he’s moved on occasionally to directing animation (the Pixar shorts LIFTED and Toy Story Hawaiian Vacation)..! He’s always realized that your ears connect to you brain JUST AS STRONGLY as your eyes do! He’s very deservedly won Seven Oscars and has been nominated for more than a dozen others and, outside of Ben Burtt is probably one of the only sound designers that have name recognition

    Interestingly, ever since I first watched this waaaaaay back when it first came out on VHS, one of the things that ALWAYS stuck out to me was the way it sounded. Even though I was like 3, 4, 5 years old, the film didn't sound like anything else out there. Combined with being the only full 3D animated film out there too, and it just always seemed so incredibly unique and almost uncanny with the sound design. I think that went SO far in selling these characters as actual toys, and in a way that none of the other 3 films ever really did. Neither _Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3,_ or _Toy Story 4_ sound QUITE the same as the original _Toy Story._ And frankly, don't really look or feel the same either. Maybe its because by 2, CGI had become much more refined (it especially had by 3 & 4), and maybe its because the original was breaking new ground, but there really just isn't any movie out there quite like the original _Toy Story._

I would have just played the movie off of the disc itself if it wasn't scratched to hell but at least the contents were fully rippable. Heck, I've also been wanted to watch the movie with the audio commentary so this will be a good chance to do that as well.

    Wall-E actually proved to me that Pixar are true film makers not just ‘cartoonists’ simply by its utterly outstanding use of sound (or lack there of). Animation know and use the advantages of what properly crafted soundscapes can bring to a film. I’ve seen Pixar continually put big Hollywood type movies to shame with the organic and visceral use of sound design, music and foley effects.....I think it’s because they appreciate the subconscious impact of sound on our emotions....after all that’s what a movie is, a story designed to resonate with its listeners on a spiritual and inner intellectual level.

    I think Miyazaki also nailed sound design in his films (I mean I guess he don't do it himself, but knowing how much of a control freak he is you can be sure he supervised it). In fact, I'd say that as much as other Ghibli productions are also good in that regard, his films in particular always are the most memorable to me in how they sound, with probably my favourite of all being any sound made by the moving castle. It just manages to feel both like a crazy contraption and as a sort of living being.
