The now-classic animated film was released 20 years ago, on Nov. 22, 1995—and it was immediately clear that it would be a hit. "Characters in so many live-action movies these days are little more than cartoons," Richard Corliss noted. "So where to turn for original characters with all-too-human weaknesses? Cartoons, of course. Consider the new Disney animated feature, John Lasseter's Toy Story, which is, incidentally, the first full-length film created wholly by computer and, not at all incidentally—by design, in fact—the year's most inventive comedy."

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

The film starring Jack Nicholson was released 40 years ago, on Nov. 19, 1975—but, though it would go on to be considered a classic, TIME's critic Richard Schickel found that it was nothing compared to the book on which it was based. "The trouble is that [the movie] betrays no awareness that the events are subject to multiple interpretations," he wrote. "Jack Nicholson plays McMurphy as an unambiguously charming figure, a victim of high spirits, perhaps, but without a dark side or even any gray shadings. He is a fine fellow to spend a couple of hours with, but he has no depth or resonance, and his fate leaves us curiously untouched."

World Prematurity Day is Nov. 17

Care for premature babies has advanced significantly since the early 20th century, as TIME explored in a cover story last year, but there is still a long way to go. "The survival for any one baby is dictated first by the calendar," wrote Jeffrey Kluger. "Come into the world at 22 weeks and you have only a 5% chance of making it out of the hospital alive. The odds improve to 26% at 23 weeks, 56% at 24 weeks, 76% at 25 weeks and up into the high 90s at 32 weeks and beyond. Even then, the battle's not won, since the longer a baby remains in the womb, the fewer health problems there will be later. Still, survival is the first goal."
