Named my favorite film of all-time, Toy Story 2 is nothing less than a masterpiece. Full of charm, heart, and "I think I'm going to cry" moments, it wastes no time developing its characters and introducing its core themes.

This one is my least favorite out of the series. It was still an ok movie, but they were just trapped for almost the entire movie. Just not that entertaining to me.

A great sequel which managed to be almost as good as its predecessor! Woody gets kidnapped by a greedy toy collector voiced by Wayne Knight and Buzz with the rest of the toys go to rescue him at Al’s Toy Barn. Since it came out four yearsA great sequel which managed to be almost as good as its predecessor! Woody gets kidnapped by a greedy toy collector voiced by Wayne Knight and Buzz with the rest of the toys go to rescue him at Al’s Toy Barn. Since it came out four years later, the animation is a bit more polished and modern looking, but either way it’s still ageless! There are a couple of new characters introduced including Jesse and Bullseye who were good additions and added to the story. Most of the cast from the first film reprised their roles in this one including Tom Hanks and Tim Allen. Just like it’s predecessor, this film manages to be entertaining for the whole family, kids and adults. There are a lot of great jokes throughout and references to other well known movies which were all well done. This film is a perfect example of a sequel that does everything almost as good as the original, and it’s just as much of a classic!… Expand

I love Toy Story, which I still think is the best Pixar animation to date, but Toy Story 2, not only surpasses its predecessor, ,it also manages to make rock-solid entertainment out of a simple story.

The animation is faultless. I could findI love Toy Story, which I still think is the best Pixar animation to date, but Toy Story 2, not only surpasses its predecessor, ,it also manages to make rock-solid entertainment out of a simple story.

The animation is faultless. I could find nothing wrong with that. The script was just as irreverent and witty as the one in the first film, with jokes that adults will enjoy as well as kids. And the song When She Loved Me was beautiful and vital to the story.

The voice talents are also faultless. Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are brilliant here as Woody and Buzz, but they were equally brilliant in the first too. Wayne Knight was also fine as Al, who kidnaps Woody to sell him to a museum. Joan Cusack was great as Jessie, though I do agree she has been better. Frasier's Kelsey Grammar is resoundingly entertaining as Stinky Pete(what a great name!). Solid support also from Don Rickles, Wallace Shawn, Jodi Benson(Ariel from little Mermaid)and Annie Potts.

All in all, a fantastic film, that has enough visual jokes(like Wallace and Gromit) to satisfy adults and kids alike. Rock- solid entertainment that thoroughly deserves a 10/10. Bethany Cox… Expand

TheThis movie isn't as ground-breaking as the first, but Toy Story 2 is a flat-out miracle that it's a really good movie. This movie had so many production problems that I find it a major triumph and revolution of 3-D animated movies. The animation has already improved from the first and the story is harmless and witty and in no way offensive to its predecessor. I would say this movie relies too much on references to Star Wars, Jurassic Park, and other movies as its source of humor. What made the first Toy Story so funny is the new humor it created by inventing jokes that toys might say if they were alive. This movie has hardly any of that and relies a lot on references. The one thing I can think of that improves upon the first is the emotional beats which really worked for me at the end of the second act and finale. Toy Story 2 is a good movie, better than most Dreamworks movies, but it remains my least favorite Toy Story movie. But again, considering all the production troubles, I am extremely impressed with this movie and the quality of entertainment that it is.… Expand

I just saw Toy Story 2 an hour ago and I must say that, despite all the great reviews, I was still surprised about the quality....It started absolutely marvellous; one of the greatest and humorous opening sequences ever. The plot is really smart, the animation is brilliant and the humor...Oh man! The last 50 minutes must be the most fun 50 minutes I had in years and believe me, I'm NOT exaggerating. It seems impossible to imagine the fun the writers must have had, because this is a true film-fest whether you do like Disney-esque films or don't.

Having this fast-paced storyline, John Lasseter & Co. exploited it to a maximum. Cameo's from Pixar-characters (Geri's the coolest), unexpected and obliged references to other big films (really love the Jurrasic Park one), great new characters (Wheezy!!), and more jokes and gags rammed in an animated feature than you'll ever see and of course the out takes.

The action-department is also greatly represented in some astonishing sequences with great, original shots and angles. The music is moody and Randy Newman is at his best with the really non-disturbing, appropriate song about Jessie, which is definitely the message of this film.

O.K., I know I'm raving, but I really meant it when I chose the ten and clicked the "Vote" button. This film is great and I recommend it to every film-lover.

A few downsides (this hardly affects the overall film) are I think, first of all the lack of originality, which is excusable and acceptable for a sequel. Second, the still somewhat jerky animation of the humans (I know they said it was supposed to be, but I disagree that). And third: the ratio, 1:1,85 (I thought it was the theater, but Pixar is forgiven, seen the quality of the film.) These are minors things and my decision is final, Toy Story 2 is certainly included in my top 20.

O.K., now you may stand up and ring a friend to go and see it, come on!!… Expand

In this film, Woody will discover his own past of fame and prestige after being kidnapped by a collector of antique toys and put in contact with toys that are part of his own collection: his horse, an intrepid cowgirl called Jessie and a miner named Stinky Pete. Directed by John Lasseter, who continues his earlier work, the film retains most of the voice actors that were present in Toy Story.

Despite the bad reputation of sequels, this film managed to remain the level of its predecessor, developing to him a coherent sequence of events. This sense of continuity between them was achieved largely thanks to the maintenance of technical staff and initial voice actors. The novelty of this film, in fact, is the introduction of new characters, directly linked to the past of Woody (which the audience will discover along with himself), who will have a major role in the outcome of the film. The collecting is a matter intelligently placed in this film, allowing to reveal a little of what has been the history of the toys, from the fifties until today. Less interesting had the soundtrack, despite the appointment of "When She Loved Me" for the Oscar for Best Original Song. In fact, after the resounding success of the soundtrack of the first film with "You've Got a Friend in Me", also nominated for the statuette, it would be difficult to obtain similar impact.

For all these reasons, this movie deserves to be considered one of the best sequels of animated film and a great family film and deserves to be seen and reviewed by young and old.… Expand

It preserves the agility and grace of the previous one with new characters, melancholic moments, and self- parodic humor. Take note of the sequence of the elevator and the bloopers of the exit credits. Kids from 1yo and up will love it.

The original movie was amazing, and so is this one. In some ways, this story was better than the first. Also, the characters are even better than the last time we saw them.

Toy Story 2 may not surpass it's 1995 predecessor, but it lives up to be a great sequel and has tons of cleverness and memorable scenes that makes it a classic sequel.

In the realm of sequels, “Toy Story 2” is to “Toy Story” what “The Empire Strikes Back” was to its predecessor, a richer, more satisfying film in every respect. The comparison between these two franchises will be pursued no further, givenIn the realm of sequels, “Toy Story 2” is to “Toy Story” what “The Empire Strikes Back” was to its predecessor, a richer, more satisfying film in every respect. The comparison between these two franchises will be pursued no further, given their utter dissimilarity. But John Lasseter and his team, their confidence clearly bolstered by the massive success of their 1995 blockbuster, have conspired to vigorously push the new entry further with fresh characters, broadened scope, boisterous humor and, most of all, a gratifying emotional and thematic depth. Disney and Pixar have an end-of-millennium behemoth here, one that, given its far greater appeal to girls by virtue of its female co-lead, could easily surpass the $362 million grossed by “Toy Story” worldwide.

The only thing this sparkling picture lacks, by definition, is the shock of the new; four years ago, it was startling to behold the frontier that computer animation had conquered, to see what vast possibilities were now available in the whole field of animation. But there is no sense of complacency or sameness, as the filmmakers get their charges out of the house and into a situation that gives their lives more poignancy and awareness of mortality than, frankly, most characters in live-action films are accorded these days.

After an overly assaultive outer-space teaser that will nonetheless serve its purpose of getting kids to shut up and pay attention, brisk set-up sees the affable Woody eagerly anticipating being taken to a summer Cowboy Camp by his owner, Andy. But excitement quickly turns to crushing disappointment when a “broken” arm causes Woody to be left behind, with Andy’s mom adding the final sting with the comment, “Toys don’t last forever.”

Woody’s nightmare of being flung into the trash heap of broken toys comes true when he inadvertently lands in a yard-sale 25¢ bin, from which he’s kidnapped by the greedy Al McWhiggin, owner of the local Al’s Toy Barn, who knows something that Woody himself doesn’t — that Woody was a big TV star back in the ’50s.

Stashed in a downtown building, Woody meets cowgirl Jessie, Stinky Pete the Prospector and a horse named Bullseye and, in a wonderfully entertaining interlude, learns of his long-ago celebrity on a show called “Woody’s Roundup,” a kids’ favorite in which Woody and his new acquaintances were puppets. Not only that, but a whole line of commercial products revolved around the show, including the cereal Cowboy Crunchies. Al’s impressive collection of Woody memorabilia was incomplete without its centerpiece, but now that Woody is safely in hand, Al plans to cash in by selling the whole set to a museum in Japan.

Locked in a high-rise room with his torn limb, there is nothing Woody can do to save himself, so it’s up to spaceman Buzz Lightyear and Andy’s other toys, including Rex the dinosaur, Hamm the pig, Mr. Potato Head and Slinky Dog, to mount a rescue expedition. They head first for the Toy Barn, where some Barbies come to delightful life and Buzz is astonished to find hundreds of exact replicas of himself on the shelves one of whom throws a monkey wrench into the search for Woody by boxing Buzz up and taking his place on the team.

Back in the building, the normally rambunctious Jessie begins tugging at Woody’s heart as well as that of the viewer by pointing out that, unlike Woody, who has enjoyed many years with a loving owner, she has endured a long purgatory in storage, bereft of any life worth living.

In the film’s main and moving new song, “When She Loved Me,” penned by Randy Newman and sung by Sarah McLachlan, Jessie recalls how she once had an enchanted relationship with a girl, one that she thought could never end, but that after her owner outgrew her, she ended up, like so many other toys, in a donation box. It’s the fate of all toys, she ruefully reflects, to outlive their usefulness, so the prospect of Japan for her at least means that she will provide pleasure again and have some purpose in life.

Caught up short by this intimation of mortality, Woody suddenly finds himself conflicted, torn between the “blood” family of his old TV cohorts and his closest friends from Andy’s house. Arrival of the rescue party puts his true loyalty to an immediate test, one complicated by Al’s decision to leave at once for Japan. Dynamite action climax, which proceeds through a maze-like roller-coaster ride on airport baggage ramps, into the belly of a jet and out onto the landing gear during takeoff, deftly combines a modern setting with rousing cowboy heroics, while resolution of the main characters’ fates has a sweetly philosophical ring that satisfies while still taking into account the darker issues raised earlier.

Visually, “Toy Story 2” is entirely of a piece with its predecessor, distinguished by the same endearing character design and reality-nudging peripheral details.… Expand

Visually, “Toy Story 2” is entirely of a piece with its predecessor, distinguished by the same endearing character design and reality-nudging peripheral details. But the new offering is even more densely packed with rollicking humor than the first, thanks to the addition of more characters and incident; jokey revelation of Buzz’s parentage will bring down the house at every screening. A sense of spirited invention permeates the proceedings from top to bottom, and few films so thoroughly deliver the feeling that everyone connected to it was united in pursuit of a single goal and had matchless fun reaching it.… Expand

The Toys, as they say, are back in town. And if you're not already excited by this, then that key in your back obviously needs a few vigorous turns, because Pixar's latest CG spectacular is funnier, more thrilling and more genre-bustinglyThe Toys, as they say, are back in town. And if you're not already excited by this, then that key in your back obviously needs a few vigorous turns, because Pixar's latest CG spectacular is funnier, more thrilling and more genre-bustingly brilliant than you could imagine.

Disney sequels are usually just shunted onto the sell-through market, involving only a fraction of the original budget and effort (witness the Aladdin follow-up minus Robin Williams, or the slightly mangier Lion King II: Simba's Pride). But the keyboard-clacking bods at Pixar couldn't take the easy option and trot out an inferior product on VHS. No, their rough cut smacked the gobs of the men at the Mouse House so much that the running time was bumped up, new scenes and characters added, the original cast kept on and the whole thing redirected towards the silver screen.

Pixar supremo and TS2 director John Lasseter has always claimed that plot and character are as important as jaw-to-floor visuals, and his latest Lego-block-buster scores top marks on both. Just compare the graphics in the original with last year's ultra-textured A Bug's Life, and you'll have an idea of how far they've come with this second toyscapade. Okay, the main characters don't look that different, but then they don't really need to. Being toys, they don't require the roughness, spikiness and flakiness of A Bug's Life's insects. Besides, it'd be a bad move to change Buzz and co's appearance simply for the sake of change.

No, the real improvements are more obvious when you look at the non-toy world they inhabit: back-grounds are packed with detail and exteriors are breathtakingly vast, involving skyscrapers, main streets and an entire airport, while the opening sequence even whirls you around a immense sci-fi spacescape. Although both Andy and his mom haven't quite lost their plastic sheen, the pudgy, greasy Al - who has more screentime than any other human - is remarkably realistic, right down to the individual bristles poking out of his jowly chin. And, talking of hair, Pixar has done a superb job rendering the fur on Andy's dog, Buster, apparently a result of the work it's been doing on its next movie, Monsters Inc.

But it's in terms of story, script and character that Pixar's latest truly excels. Buzz is now at ease with his status as a plaything rather than a true-life cosmic adventurer, but that doesn't prevent him taking on the responsibility for Woody's rescue with deliciously hammy gusto, setting him up for some beautifully executed pratfalls. Woody, meanwhile, is developed far further when it's revealed to him that he's more than a mere doll... He's a collectible. One minor problem with the first film was that, unlike all the other toys, it was never clear how Woody ever came into being. Hamm's a piggy bank, Mr Potato Head we're all familiar with, Rex is a plastic dinosaur - but what's Woody? A floppy old cowpoke. Who ever had a toy like that? TS2 holds all the answers, and with them it introduces three new characters: Stinky Pete The Prospector, who's never even been removed from his box; Bullseye the clumsy cloth horse; and Jessie the cowgirl, voiced by a whooping, hollering Joan Cusack,who has her own, sad tale to tell (involving the movie's one slightly duff moment with an intrusively saccharine ballad). Also, now that Buzz and Woody are well established in the audience's minds, there's more time devoted to the supporting cast. So we're treated to some neat little sub-plots involving, for example, Rex's videogame addiction.

The jokes may fly thick and fast, but it's in the thrill department that TS2 really goes, well, to infinity and beyond (sorry). The pace rarely lets up, as you're hurled from one giddily kinetic set piece to another, right up to the fingernail-pruning intensity of the climactic airport scramble. It's only when you notice the deeply embedded grip marks on the arms of your cinema seat that you'll realise you're not just watching a great cartoon, you're watching the best family-oriented action movie for years.

Eye-rolling action, needle-sharp in-jokes, engaging characterisations, perfect plotting... The only fault with this movie is one slightly irksome ballad. But even that's not going to stop you floating out of the cinema sporting a big, soppy smile.… Expand

In my opinion is the worst movie of the saga toy story , yet I do not think it's a bad film. The visual part is very detailed and well crafted , and the actors who do the voices also were very good. This film is advisable for a family night.

Now, in 1999, theFour years ago, the release of Toy Story forever changed the face of animated motion pictures. The astonishing, three-dimensional quality of John Lasseter's work amazed both average movie-goers and hard-to-impress critics. Now, in 1999, the toys are back. While not as innovative as the original Toy Story, Toy Story 2 is a worthy successor. The sequel picks up where the landmark original left off, and tells an enjoyable story without retreading everything that has gone before. Those who appreciated the first movie are virtually guaranteed to like the second, which represents family filmmaking at its best. All the elements that made Toy Story popular are present in this installment. Toy Story 2 makes Pixar three-for-three in the feature film arena and is sure to continue Disney's string of animated hits.

One would have to be a hopeless curmudgeon not to be entertained by Toy Story 2's remarkable visual style, quick-moving storyline, endearing characters, and witty dialogue. The balance between what has been included for kids and what's there for adults is almost perfect. There are things that children will appreciate more than their parents, but other elements will go over the heads of shorter viewers. However, the majority of what Toy Story 2 offers will delight everyone in the audience, regardless of their physical or mental age.

Reportedly, Toy Story 2 was originally slated for a direct-to-video release, but Disney eventually opted for theatrical distribution instead (all of The Magic Kingdom's recent animated sequels, including further chapters in the Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and Lion King sagas, have bypassed theaters). After viewing the final product, it's difficult for me to believe that this movie was ever intended for the ignominy of a Blockbuster premiere. Like Toy Story and A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2 has a richness of texture and detail that will be lost on smaller screens. Only in a theater is it possible to fully appreciate the benefits of computer animation, where every blade of grass, mote of dust, and hair on a dog's body has its own identity, and where the branches of a tree sway to the prompting of a gentle breeze. And, while computer animation has drawbacks (for example, the humans are saddled with an artificial appearance), those are significantly outweighed by the benefits.

Toy Story 2 contains some great moments. From a purely visual standpoint, few are better than the opening scenes, which show Buzz Lightyear zipping around the galaxy, ready to do battle with his Darth Vader-like nemesis, Zurg. With its ever-changing camera angles and intricately rendered detail, the sequence cannot fail to dazzle. Equally impressive are scenes where the toys attempt a "safe" crossing of a busy street (using red cones) and Buzz's visit to the "Buzz Lightyear" aisle in a Toys 'R Us-type toy store. Parodies are kept to a minimum, although there's a funny takeoff on a key element of the Star Wars series in addition to a quick, throw-away moment lifted from Jurassic Park. The movie also pokes fun at its own merchandising, even going so far as to offer a blueprint for a possible Toy Story video game.

The camerawork is more interesting here than in either Toy Story or A Bug's Life. A real effort is made to duplicate the kinds of shots obtained though live-action cinematography. The camera moves around. There are distant shots and close ups. Lighting and filters are used to establish a mood (as in Jessie's remembrance of her days when she was a beloved toy). And there are times when techniques are employed to suggest a depth of field (such as making background objects slightly blurry).

Voice casting is as good the second time around as it was the first. The principals are all back - Tom Hanks as the irrepressible Woody; Tim Allen as the heroic Buzz; Don Rickles as Mr. Potatohead; John Ratzenberger as Hamm, the piggy bank who keeps losing his change; Jim Varney as the stretchable slinky dog; and Annie Potts as Woody's flame, Bo Peep. New additions include Joan Cusack as Jessie the Cowgirl; Kelsey Grammar (who has one of the most versatile voices in the business) as Stinky Pete the Prospector; Wayne Knight as the unscrupulous toy salesman Al; and The Little Mermaid herself, Jodi Benson, as Tour Guide Barbie.

It's a testimony to the skill of directors John Lasseter (who went solo on the original Toy Story), Lee Unkrich, and Ash Brannon that we develop such a strong bond with a group of computer generated toys. And, while Toy Story 2 isn't quite the achievement that its predecessor represented, it is nevertheless one of the best examples of family entertainment that 1999 has offered.… Expand

I think it’s my favourite film of the Toy story trilogy. In this film, there are new characters who are fun like Jessy the cow-girl. Her story is for me, emotional because she thinks that Emily, her owner, was her best friend but when the little girl growns up, she realizes that Emily doesn’t care for her because she grows, so she has another passion like make-up she can share with her new friend.
Jessy is very happy during all the film even she had a sad past but doesn’t show it because she was abandoned by her last friend, so it’s horrible part of her life of toy ! But we find Woody in new adventures with Buzz lightyear who are eventful.
If you like the Disney movies and you have already watched the first one, you like this one too because it’s a great story, espacelly for young viewers.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Best Toy Story out of the 3. The characters return like Buzz, Woody, and new characters. Like maybe Zurg, Jessie, etc. Tom Hanks is a great actour. He did a great job acting Woody. The storyline and plot were awesome. Woody gets stolen by this fat guy who goes to Tokyo, Japan. (Lived in Tokyo for 2yrs.) At least Woody got repaired. I give this a 9/10 because of the crappy Barbie. She sucks! Well, in her own series. That's for sure. Great movie overall, and if you liked the first one, I totally recommend watching this.… Expand

But Toy Story 2 not only matched it's predecessor, it surpassed it. Toy Story 2 has it all. It's powerful, intense, humorous and rich. This time the toys are dropped in a much darker world where our protagonist (Woody) is faced with a choice of choosing between fame and love. There are no easy choices. It's a film about dedication, commitment, friendship and immortality. Wall-E is still Pixar's best film to date. Toy Story 2 is certainly among the best.… Expand

It's true: Toy Story 2 is an even better movie than the first one! Better villain (Stinky Pete) and new characters (like Jessie the cowgirl) make it almost impossible not to like. Don't miss out on another epic PIXAR film.

Definitely one of the best Toy Story films up to now. It's comical, it's tear-jerking, beautifully animated but it's also, surprisingly well-written and fabulously voiced. I recommend it for all ages.

Toy Story 2 is just another dismal effort with inept characters and an implausible story. Any new characters added this time do nothing to help this franchise.

The animation is even more mind-blowing, if that's possible. The characters and objects seem even more palpable and real than last time. There's a thickness to bodies of the human characters and an amazing attention to detail throughout.
