Movie Synopsis
Toy Story (1995) is a groundbreaking animated adventure that changed the film industry forever as the first fully computer-generated feature film. Produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures, the film was directed by John Lasseter, whose visionary approach helped usher in a new era of digital storytelling.
The story takes place in a world where toys come to life when humans are not around. At the centre is Woody, a loyal pull-string cowboy doll voiced by Tom Hanks, who serves as the beloved leader of a group of toys owned by a young boy named Andy. Woody’s world is turned upside down when Andy receives a new, high-tech action figure for his birthday—Buzz Lightyear, voiced by Tim Allen. Buzz believes he is a real space ranger, not a toy, which creates both humour and conflict.
As Woody struggles with feelings of jealousy and insecurity, the rivalry between the two escalates. However, when a series of mishaps leaves them stranded outside their home, they must work together to find their way back to Andy. Along the journey, the film explores themes of friendship, identity, loyalty, and acceptance, resonating with audiences of all ages.
The supporting cast includes memorable characters such as Mr. Potato Head, Rex, and Hamm, each contributing to the film’s charm and comedic energy. The screenplay, co-written by Joss Whedon, Andrew Stanton, Joel Cohen, and Alec Sokolow, blends heartfelt storytelling with sharp humour, creating a timeless narrative.
One of the most significant aspects of Toy Story is its revolutionary use of computer animation. At the time of its release, the technology was cutting-edge, and the film’s success proved that fully animated digital features could achieve both critical acclaim and commercial success. It went on to become a cultural phenomenon, spawning multiple sequels and establishing Pixar as a leader in the animation industry.
Today, Toy Story (1995) is widely regarded as one of the most influential films ever made, celebrated for its innovation, storytelling, and enduring appeal. This original Daybill poster captures the magic of that moment, making it a must-have for collectors of Disney Pixar memorabilia and fans of classic animated cinema.

While the industry does have a few condition rating standards, there is no movie poster condition rating system that has become the accepted standard world wide. This unfortunately makes condition terms vary from movie poster dealer to movie poster dealer. Terms like Mint, Near Mint, Very Fine, Fine, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor, seem to be universal to most condition rating standards, but most standards still lack definition about what and how many flaws/defects/damage defines a specific condition level. For more information on how Movie Posters Australia grades the condition of its movie posters, daybills, lobby cards and other ephemera please see out Movie Poster Condition and Grading page.
In the early days of cinema, posters were primarily hand-drawn and printed in various sizes, often tailored to fit the available space in theaters or promotional areas. In the United States, the "One Sheet" size (some times called '1 Sheet' or '1SH' approximately 27" x 41", became the standard during the 1930s. This size was manageable for theater display and suited the needs of a growing film industry.
Different countries developed their own poster sizes and styles, which also changed sometimes over the decades, and were influenced by local preferences and practical considerations, like available paper sheet sizes and how many posters could be printed on one sheet.
In Australia, the most popular size, the Daybill, has evolved over the decades. Australian Daybills sizes in chronological order are:
- Long Daybills (15" x 40"), from 1920's to pre-WW2 or pre-1941, were printed two to a sheet, longer than current Daybill versions. There were size variances in width from 14.5" to 15" and in height from 39.5" to 40".
- War Time Daybill (10" x 30"), during WW2, for a short time to conserve paper during a war time shortage, four Daybills were printed on one sheet. Information from Press Sheets also referred to these War-Time sizes as "New Size Daybills".
- Post-War Daybill (13" x 30"), this 13" x 30" Post-War size carried through until the 1980's, but also varied in size from 13"-14" x 29.75"-30.25".
- Post-80's Daybill (33cm x 66cm, or 13" x 26"), over a few years in the late 80's, the size changed again to a metric 33cm x 66cm, although these have also varied from 32-33cm x 64.5-66cm. New sizes from the late 80's were created, sometimes called a Mini Daybill or Mini Poster, in 9" x 12", 11" x 17" and 13" x 20".
In the UK, the somewhat unique 'Quad' poster, measuring 30" x 40", became popular, offering a larger landscape format that allowed for more elaborate designs.
In Japan, movie poster sizes were smaller, such as the "B2" (20" x 28"), which suited the more compact living environment of larger cities, smaller advertising spaces, and unique aesthetic sensibilities.
The 1970s and 1980s, witnessed the rise of the "six-sheet" (81" x 81") format, reflecting a trend towards larger and more visually impactful advertising.
Overall, the variation in movie poster sizes across different countries and decades highlights the interplay between technological printing advancements, paper resource availability, paper sheet size changes, cultural preferences, and the evolving nature of movie marketing.
At Movie Posters Australia we tag each poster we sell with a 'size' and 'condition' description at the very top of the page for our customers to easily see. There may however be some slight variations to sizes by up one inch due to variations in production and guillotine methods by printers over the decades.
