Does Toy Story 1 use CGI?

Yes, Toy Story (1995) was the first ever full-length computer animated feature film. It pioneered the use of CGI to animate an entire movie.

What was the first fully CGI movie?

Toy Story was indeed the first fully CGI film. Though some earlier short films and experiments used computer animation, Toy Story was the first movie completely animated with CGI from start to finish.

How did they animate Toy Story?

They animated Toy Story through a breakthrough technique of 3D computer animation. Instead of hand-drawn 2D animation, they built intricate 3D computer models of the characters and sets. These were manipulated frame-by-frame to create the illusion of movement.

While simple computer graphics emerged in the 1960s, photorealistic 3D rendering capabilities truly arrived in the late 1980s and early 1990s. This allowed the complex CGI seen in milestone works like Toy Story, which revolutionized animation starting in 1995 by showing the power of computer animation.
