THE DARK SIDE OF TOY STORY

As Pixar’s classic animation turns 20, Nicholas Barber finds out what made the tale of Woody and Buzz Lightyear so special. It’s exactly 20 years since audiences first saw that scene in Toy Story, Pixar’s debut feature-length cartoon. Heralded as a groundbreaking triumph in 1995, the film is now enshrined as a classic, and every other Hollywood studio has copied its innovations: its eerily realistic digital animation, its snappy screwball dialogue – co-written by Buffy/Avengers mastermind, Joss Whedon.

Nessie and Google: a love story

Everyone is fascinated by Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster. I travelled North 20 years ago to visit the Highlands of Scotland and take my share of Nessie spotting on the shore of Loch Ness. So, when I discovered todays doodle in Google.com I click the image: I want more of that mystery.
The fascinating bit of it is that 80 years ago the famous picture of Nessie was published. It was taken by Col Robert Wilson, and after all the hype of those days, it turned out to be a fake. But the legend of the monster kept growing. 80 years later, curious citizens of the global village can spend a few minutes Nessie spotting thanks to Google street technology. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-32382382 So, sit back, relax and get ready to hunt Nessie in the cold waters of the Scottish Loch.
