A childhood classic, some of the most wholesome and heartwarming stories are made from Disney and Pixar. I saw this movie as a kid and immediately loved it, it's the sole reason I kept so many toys as a kid myself and literally Andy's journey was mine, growing up, getting rid of toys and keeping others, with plans to put them in storage until a time came to play with them again with kids of my own, or nieces and nephews.

A movie novelization is a book written based on the screenplay of a film. I have loved movie novelizations since I was in middle school. It's very different from reading a book that a movie is based on. Movie novelizations usually end up being pretty close to what you see on the screen though you will occasionally read some scenes that ended up on the cutting room floor prior to the film being released. Novelizations fill in some of the gaps that are left in the movies.
