Released in late 1995 and appearing on home video in 1996, 'Toy Story' was the first fully computer-animated feature film.

Read full story ## COLLECTOR NOTES 1 This specific Dutch release includes a 'Sing Along Songs' promotional flyer tucked inside the case, a common marketing tactic used by Buena Vista Home Entertainment in 1996. ## SCARCITY Common 20-40% Common Legendary Older mass-produced items still widely available.

Significant 'mold' or white dust-like spotting is NOT visible on the magnetic tape reels, which is a major factor for playback viability. ### Weight & feel Approximately 220g including the tape and plastic components; feels balanced and typical for a T-120 length cassette. ## COLLECTIBLES MARKET VALUE $5 - $15 Updated: May 10, 2026 How we estimate value ### Who buys this Nostalgia-driven millennials and entry-level film memorabilia collectors looking for physical media shelf fillers. ### What increases value - • Condition of the magnetic tape (no mold) - • Completeness of the case and original paper artwork - • Presence of original marketing inserts ### What lowers value - • Magnetic tape degradation (bit rot or mold) - • High mintage numbers (millions produced) cap the financial upside - • Absence of original paper sleeve significantly lowers value ### What makes top-tier examples - • Sealed in original factory shrink-wrap - • Rare production variants like the 'Black Diamond' (US market version only) ### Grade & condition Centering of the label, clarity of the surface plastic, and lack of 'snow' on the magnetic tape upon playback. ### Rarity & demand Common Moderate demand Sells quickly [Browse similar collectibles objects](/archive/collectibles) For informational purposes only, not a formal appraisal. ## FROM THE CABINET OF [RE ](/cabinet/rene) [ ### Rene ](/cabinet/rene) Fellow Collector • 44 items [View Full Cabinet](/cabinet/rene) ### COMMENTS No comments yet.
