A brilliant film, if anything better than the original.
There is a rumour that this was planned as a straight to video (DVD) release and it only secured a cinematic release when Pixar realised how good it was. It certainly was good enough. A great story following the gang attempting to rescue Woody after a toy collector has kidnapped him (technically I guess he is stolen but it feels like a kidnapping). As in the first...

Dire Disney
Once again woody and his pals are back for another fun filled adventure hurrah (!). Not only is this film witless, charmless and altogether so sugary that it makes you want to pull your own teeth out before disney's claptrap will rot them away. Essentially it's the same as the first one and yes its just as boring. Not only do the jokes sound like they've come fresh...

A brilliant film, if anything better than the original., 19 Jan 2005
There is a rumour that this was planned as a straight to video (DVD) release and it only secured a cinematic release when Pixar realised how good it was. It certainly was good enough.A great story following the gang attempting to rescue Woody after a toy collector has kidnapped him (technically I guess he is stolen but it feels like a kidnapping). As in the first film the story works on a number of different levels successfully appealing to children and adults. Once again the animation is fantastic and the vocal talents superb: Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Kelsey and Joan Cusack are all excellent. Simply wonderful

A remarkable tribute to modern humour in animation, 16 Sep 2000
Although this film is aimed at children. It packs a punch for the mature viewer with its 'tongue and cheek' approach which is so admirable. TOY STORY 2 deserves to become a classic along with it's predecessor. This is one of few sequels (along with THE GODFATHER PART II) which has such depth and originality.The jokes in this sensational movie keep you laughing till bedtime. I remember resiting all the witty lines to my friends who had yet to see it. The voices are first rate (a grade up from the original), Joan Cusack most notably. Kudos most also be given to the animated team who (still) make us marvel at such fantastic special-effects animation skills. The mood is different from the original too. The whole set-up of the story felt different and there was one touchingly tender moment involving beautiful little Jessie (Joan Cusack). I think this movie should be taken from the kids and watched late-at-night when they're all tucked in bed purely because this is deep, touching and often hysterically witty storytelling. Just don't tell the little rascals you've bought it!

Great fun for the whole family, 11 Dec 2000
Toy Story 2 explores the simple (though intriguing) theme of the meaning of life for a toy! This was touched on in the first film but it is central to Toy Story 2. The animation is excellent, and the film is commendable simply on this basis alone, but the characters are even better. The pace of the film is handled very well with never a dull moment. Some may dismiss this as a film for children, but I think that would be a mistake. There's plenty there for children and adults alike. No need to get too deep and meaningful over this as it's just good wholesome family fun. If you enjoyed the first film you will certainly enjoy this one!

Superb, 23 Jan 2002
I just LOVE this film, you cannot help but smile at it. The jokes, the action and the storyline. Its just great, no more needs to be said. Other than that the picture quality of the dvd is amazing, and the extras are good too. Although personally I can never be bothered to watch the interviews, but the outtakes are class :)

More adventure and more laughs!, 6 Sep 2006
Another great film from Pixar, during a period when computer animated films were still a bug thing, unlike now where they come out all the time, and we take them for granted.
This sequel is almost perfect really - even the computer technology had advanced over the 6 year gap, and the film looks so more detailed than the original. The plot is more adventerous, and the new characters are a real laugh, making it very fresh.
I think the first film was more "original" but this sequel has more of the laughs!

A triumph!, 23 Sep 2003
In this sequel to Toy Story, Woody (Tom Hanks) begins to fear that his usefulness as a toy is coming to end. When Woody is stolen, Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) organizes a rescue. While our erstwhile heroes are seeking Woody out, Woody finds out the truth about himself; it seems that in the '50s he was the star of a hit show - Woody's Round-up. Given a choice between returning to his owner (and facing the end of his usefulness), or staying with the Round-up gang and living forever in a toy museum, Woody is torn. Simultaneously, the rescue team is facing peril after peril, culminating in the ultimate confrontation - Buzz Lightyear versus the evil Emperor Zurg! [Color, created in 1999, with a running time of 92 minutes.]This movie is outstanding, and even better than the original! The darkness that shaded the original (Sid) is missing in this one, and the minor sadness is quickly replaced with adventure and hilarity. As an added bonus, the VHS includes the original Pixar cartoon Luxo Jr. and a set of outtakes (both originally seen in the theatre version), plus a video of the Riders in the Sky singing the Woody's Round-up Medley. The movie is entertaining and lighthearted, the soundtrack is entertaining, and the action is spellbinding. This is a great movie for all ages. I can't recommend it enough.

The funnest film i've ever seen!, 22 Nov 2000
By A Customer
I though Toy story 2 was brilliant. Just full of adult jokes I laughed all the way through. I especially liked the bit where buzz drives the car!! Brilliant animation miles better than the first one. I would recommend this to anyone especially familes who can all enjoy it, not just the kids. A must for Christmas day viewing.

Disney and Pixar do it again!, 17 Nov 2000
By A Customer
What a pleasure. Sat down in the cinema, the lights go down and Disney's/ Pixar's logo appears and for once you know what your going to get from those boy's. It's a treat from start to finish, a beautiful piece of animation blessed with a terrific script and talented voice performances form Tom Hanks, Tim Allen et all. Originally slated for a video release ( an unforgivable crime) this sequel crashes onto the screen and superceeds the original on every level. Cracking animation by the Pixar crew, great in-jokes,Randy Newman's songs, and best of all an inventive script that doesn't patronise. The story is simple,young Andy's favourite toy cowboy doll Woody is stolen from a garage sale by scheming toy store owner Al and Woody's friends are out to rescue him. Buzz, Slinky, Rex all lend their own unique personalites and an engaging performance from Joan Cusack sheds some much needed female support. Whatever it takes rent it, buy it, but you must see it!
