In November 1995, the feature length film Toy Story was released as a joint venture between Pixar Animation and Walt Disney Studios. Until 1999, when Toy Story 2 was released and surpassed the original, Toy Story was the third most successful animated film at the box office. This full-color sketchbook contains pencil sketches and color images done in preparation for the release of both films.
