The mathematical incongruity of the movie's key catchphrase notwithstanding, Pixar came awfully close to going ``to infinity and beyond'' with Toy Story's maiden full-length voyage, both in terms of box office returns ($361 million on a $30 million budget) and, as the first all-CGI theatrical release, in its impact on animation in general. <PERSON>, then riding high with audiences and critics after a remarkable three-year run that included A League of Their Own, Sleepless in Seattle, Philadelphia, Forrest Gump, and Apollo 13, was a natural fit for the role of <PERSON>, the classic talking cowboy doll whose gentle <PERSON> appeal gave the film a human heart to match its computer-generated visuals -- which he kept beating in 1999's equally well-received Toy Story 2 and again more than a decade later in Toy Story 3.
