Weekly Watches: September 17, 2025
From Pixar’s golden age to Spielberg’s quiet triumph, an overlooked 2010s classic, and an HBO saga of virtue—ordinary life made extraordinary
Toy Story (1995)
This week marked the 30th(!) anniversary of Toy Story, a beloved animated movie that kicked off a legendary streak for Pixar animation. The special anniversary served as an excuse for theaters to put it back on the big screen, so I decided to take my older kids for their first ever theater experience. I sure am glad that I did. I am also sure that my kids will be (just as the little aliens say in the sequel) “eternally grateful” that they got to see a classic in their first movie theater experience as opposed to some forgettable slop that passes for most children’s entertainment these days.
