I was a little bit skeptical about this great buy, but it's true. You get three great Pixar movies in DVD format for a great price. On each disc you can choose widescreen or fullscreen viewing, you can get English captions, there are sneak peeks and outtakes, and each has an extra cartoon: Toy Story carries the entertaining short "Tin Toy" (with a remarkably horrid looking infant); Toy Story 2 contains a Luxo, Jr. cartoon; and A Bug's Life has "Geri's Game".

As another reviewer has stated, if it is the special features you crave then this is not the collection for you; however, if you just want to watch the films and don't care about the extras, this is a remarkable value.

The DVDs in this 3-pack are just the regular ones which have been available separately. Although they are excellent by themselves, if you are fans of the three movies, you would appreciate the fully loaded Ultimate Toy Box and A Bug's Life Collector's Edition DVDs. Notice that A Bug's Life DVD in this pack is in letterboxed widescreen. The Collector's Edition features anamorphic widescreen.

This is a great set to buy if you have kids who don't care about special features. This set presents just the movie with a few extra bells and whistles. However, if you're a huge fan of these films, as I am, there's better versions packed with special features. Toy Story & Toy Story 2 can be found together with each disk filled to the brim of special features along with an additional disk of special features. This is called the Toy Story Toy Box. Bug's life has another version other then the Gold version presented in this box set. It's a collector's 2 disk edition, also packed with special features (returning in August 2003). These are the definitive versions of these movies. Don't buy this box set if you're looking for more. If you have kids, it's fine ...

What more can we ask from Disney/Pixer than to have 3 best ever animations in one low priced pack? Maybe, to add Monsters, Inc too? If you don't own any of these movies get your hands on this one and you will get more than your moneys worth. This pack also includes a free movie pass to Monsters, Inc.

All three movies have great reviews all over amazon and there is no reason for me to add more details than to inform that they come with all the extras found in Gold Collection DVD of Bugs' Life and Toy Story 2-Pack.

I am new to watching DVD's, so I do not know a lot about "special features" and added extra's on a DVD. This is a great set for the price. It has all three movies on three different disks. There are outakes on the Toy Story movie that you can view. On the Toy Story 2 disk, it has that little movie about how Pixar started to use the bouncing light for their logo. (It's animated and a very cute movie.) If you appreciate these movies and want them in your collection to view when you want to, this is the set you want. It is a great value at a great price for 3 new DVD's! If you are a big DVD buff though and are looking for special stuff...see the reviews listed elsewhere on this page. Personally, I like the movies and just wanted to be able to watch them whenever I wanted to so this set is great!

All right. I admit it. In my eyes, Pixar can do no wrong. They're four for four as far as I'm concerned.

This 3-pack includes full-screen and letter-boxed versions of their first 3 full-length features: Toy Story, A Bug's Life, and Toy Story 2. It doesn't include tons of bonus material like you'd get in a full-blowen collectors's edition, but unless you're a hard-core enthusiast, you probably won't miss anything.

The movies themselves, are magnificent.

The story telling is first rate. Like what one would expect from classical Disney work, they're entertaining to both kids and adults. A bit of everything: engaging stories, clever humor, heart-felt moments, a bit of action and suspense, and characters that you get attached to.

And Pixar is the benchmark against which all other computer animation is measured. Meanwhile, Pixar manages a artful balance between the realism of computer animation and the expressiveness found in cel animation.

I look forward to the next boxed set, of Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, and whatever they have next up their sleeves.

3 great films and all for a bargain price.

The only let down is that Disney are a bit shy with extra features so it is identical to the Video's I bought in the UK. Saying that, It is such good value that I can over look the lack of features.

Still as Disney goes it doesn't get much better ... to infinity and beyond !!!!!

These three movies are three of the best cartoons ever made. The first Toy Story began Pixar's move into the mainstream and it was a groundbreaker. A Bug's Life will feel a bit more like a children's story compared with the Toy Storys, but, though it may be Pixar's worst, it is better than all of Disney's modern cartoons with the exception of Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast. Toy Story 2 is Pixar's best (Finding Nemo a close second). I've never laughed as hard as I had throughout the story. The comedic moments were perfectly timed. The references to other movies were perfect. And as the movie progressed, the more you laughed. Not only that, but it also had an actual serious message, with a moment in the middle that made you think rather than just laugh.

Truly perfect.

You can't beat the quality, you can't beat the price. The stories are fantastic. Unbeatable! Enough said.

I love this bundle for my 3 yr old. He loves Buzz and this 3 pack gives him a choice of what to watch. Kids don't need any extras and it saves you money to buy the bundle. You get three great movies at one low price.
