Toy Story - opening sequence anaylsis

Toy story uses the opening sequence to introduce us to the main characters of the film, it also suggests the tone of the film as its funny and also childish. We learn alot about Andy, even though we barely see him and that woody is his favourite toy. The scene consists of short shots, lots of noise and action to reflect the lighthearted mood of the film. We know the rest of the film will involve Andy and his toys, especially woody. The scene is colourful and creative showing Andy spends a lot of time with his toys and they are important to the story.The use of added sound effects like the sheep and Andy's different voices make the toys seem more realistic hinting at the fact they come alive. The camera cuts quickly through different shots and angles creating a fast pace and a sense of action. The chosen camera angles make the toys appear life size also leading towards the fact they're alive.
