Toy Story (1995)

Its an idea that everyone has had - toys coming to life and playing by themselves when you're not around. It seems like such a childish thing to think, so who would've thought a motion picture about exactly that would be such a hit. 

Firstly it taps into our inner child, our silly notions that we're the only ones who have that thought. Then when we see it, its a guilty pleasure. You are seeing what you used to think on the screen, and nobody else knows. 

Also, its plain funny. Its clever, and it really pushed CG boundaries at the time.
