Republican not in Conservative's right-wing film (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toy story

'film' is the definition.

'republican not in conservative's right-wing' is the wordplay.
'republican' becomes 'R' (abbreviation in US politics).
'not in' suggests deleting specific letters.
'conservative's' becomes 'tory's' (informal term for a Conservative Party member).
'right-wing' becomes 'Tory'.
'torys' with 'r' taken out is 'toys'.
'toys'+'tory'='TOY STORY'

(Another definition for toy story that I've seen is " made by D [Disney]".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
