  • Here is a home video my father took during the Toy Story showing at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles, California. This video was taken in December 1995. Before the film I think there was a bit of a stage show, but I may be confusing that with another event.
    The funhouse (Totally Toy Story) was amazing. I remember playing the Toy Story video game for the Sega Genesis, drawing on art easels, an going through an army man obstacle course. And playing an alien wack-a-mole (like the one featured in the film) game. Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia:
    "For the November 1995 Toy Story premiere, Disney rented the next door building for Totally Toy Story, a multimedia funhouse and a promotional event for the movie."

    I was 8 years old when my dad took me to the el Capitan theater for the totally toy story event! I still have pictures from this day. And yes, there was a stage performance before the actual movie started.

    Oh yes. Few things I noticed is: Sega Genesis version of "Toy Story 1" (as shown in 1:24) released few days before the El Capitan premiere of Toy Story 1. Also, the preview of Disney's Animated Storybook of "Toy Story 1" was shown in the premiere, because this Animated Storybook released in 1996.

    "Toy Story" was the first film I ever saw in Theatres! I was four years-old (born in 1991) and my sister had won a contest to see an early screening of the film ( I'm not sure how long before it's North America release the early screening was) with my Mom, her friend and myself. I have no memories however, of seeing this film in theatres. I only know that for years I was terrified of Babyface (the leader of the Mutant Toys) and when my Mom recorded "Toy Story" off of "The Wonderful World of Disney" in the fall of 1997, she had to pause the recording when scenes of the Mutants played. Over 25 years after seeing it in Theatres I am adding this film to my movie collection!

      matarazzofamily, the CG customized-Disney logo variant. Because, I wasn’t alive in 1995 and I am uncertain if it actually debuted with this film.

      @matarazzofamily  Před 4 lety +2

      ​@@untitledjunk03 Yes, the CGI Disney castle opening logo was created by Pixar and it premiered with this film, their first feature film. I remember seeing it at this showing. I've also seen it at another showing of the film. The logo was also retained on subsequent VHS, Laserdisc, and DVD releases, I even think it's on the Blu-ray.

    • @untitledjunk03
      @untitledjunk03 Před 4 lety +3

      matarazzofamily, thanks. I remember seeing it on VHS and the 2005 10th Anniversary DVD the most. I saw the 3D version in 2009, only to be pissed that they plastered it with the current logo. But, if there’s one thing I’m dying to see the most, is *a recording of that logo from that screening.* Because I’m wondering how audiences in 1995 reacted to the exclusive CGI logo.

      @@untitledjunk03 Yes if you saw Toy Story in the 90s or the early 2000s like I did, the original Walt Disney Pictures logo with the CGI white castle that fades into Andy's cloud wallpaper is shown at the beginning of the movie like it did in the original version when it was released. Anything that was made after 2009 has that logo edited out with the current Disney logo and the Pixar one added to it, which was not in the original version.
