What was the secret to Toy Story's success?

One of the great secrets to the success of Toy Story was its focus on pleasing an age-diverse audience. The film's writers knew that parents would bring their children to the film and they decided that adults deserved to enjoy the film just as much as young people. Many animated films before Toy Story were focused primarily on the children, containing little humor or amusement complex enough to address adults' needs. However, Toy Story contains witty sentiments, sophisticated wordplay and comedic expressions capable of entertaining a whole family.
