If you had to pick a single year where the old world of analog entertainment collided head-on with the digital future, 1995 would be a strong candidate. Nestled between the grunge hangover of the early ‘90s and the boy-band/teen-pop boom of the late ‘90s, 1995 was a chaotic, creative, and transitional year. It was the last full year before the DVD, the first year many people heard the screech of a dial-up modem, and the moment when “entertainment content” began to mean more than just movies, music, and TV—it started to mean everything.
Released in November 1995, Toy Story was more than a movie—it was a revolution. As the first entirely computer-animated feature film, Pixar changed the industry overnight. Suddenly, animation wasn't just for Saturday mornings. The voices of Tom Hanks (Woody) and Tim Allen (Buzz Lightyear) became iconic, and the phrase "To infinity and beyond!" entered the lexicon.
