The beloved characters from Disney and Pixar's groundbreaking Toy Story are leaping off the screen and into Toronto's concert halls in a spectacular celebration of the film's 30th anniversary. The Toronto Symphony Orchestra (TSO) is presenting Toy Story in Concert, offering audiences a unique opportunity to experience the animated classic like never before.
A Cinematic Symphony Experience
This immersive event features the complete first Toy Story film projected in high definition on massive screens while the TSO performs Randy Newman's iconic Academy Award-nominated score live. From the playful mischief of "You've Got a Friend in Me" to the film's most suspenseful moments, every musical note will be brought to life by Toronto's premier orchestra.
Three Decades of Animated Magic
Toy Story revolutionized animation when it debuted in 1995 as the first entirely computer-animated feature film. The Toronto celebration honors this legacy while introducing new generations to the timeless tale of Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and Andy's remarkable toy collection. The concert series demonstrates how the film's emotional storytelling and memorable music continue to resonate three decades later.
Family-Friendly Entertainment at Roy Thomson Hall
The concerts are scheduled for September 28 and 29, 2024 at Toronto's prestigious Roy Thomson Hall. These performances promise to be the ultimate family entertainment experience, combining cutting-edge animation with world-class musical performance in one of Canada's most celebrated venues.
Whether you're a longtime fan who grew up with the franchise or discovering the magic for the first time, Toy Story in Concert offers a fresh way to experience one of animation's most cherished stories. The event underscores Toronto's vibrant arts scene and its ability to host innovative cultural experiences that blend technology, music, and storytelling.
