DVD/Blu-Ray Deal of the Day: Toy Story Trilogy(10-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy)

In 1995 Disney teamed upwith then virtually unknown studio Pixar to create the first full length feature film entirely using CGI animation. Little did they know that they were also launching a creative renaissance that has seen Pixar become the gold standard for animated movies for the last 15 years. The story of brave cowboy Woody, courageous space ranger Buzz Lightyear, and the rest of the toy gang has been appealing to both kids and adults alike ever since. I consider Toy Story 3 to be one of the top 2 or 3 movies released this year.

Amazon has a massive deal, the entire Toy Story trilogy, packed with 10 discs worth of extras and special features, including dozens of "Making Of..." clips, trailers, extra footage, and alternate endings. It's a must have for any Toy Story fan.
