PRODUCTION PERIOD

Following its 1995 theatrical debut, 'Toy Story' was released on home video globally in late 1996. This Dutch edition was distributed by Buena Vista Home Entertainment B.V., as evidenced by the 1996 copyright date on the rear sleeve. It represents the peak of the VHS era before the market transition to DVD began in the late 1990s.

COLLECTOR NOTES

Toy Story was the first feature-length film entirely animated by computer, requiring over 800,000 machine hours to render the final product.

The Dutch voice cast for this 1996 release features Coen Flink as Woody and Jan Anne Drenth as Buzz Lightyear.

What increases value

•Localized language variant specifically for the Dutch market

•Extremely high mintage makes unsealed copies very common and low in value
