A wise man once said, or rather screamed, "YOU! ARE! A TOY!" But here at Nation of Animation, we're not toys, we're podcasters! We're celebrating 3 decades of the legacy of Toy Story, and 3 decades of our very own Brooke-Erin Smith! Witness the film that put Pixar on the map, and how 30 years has shaped both our friends Buzz & Woody, and our dear darling Brooke.
