John Lasseter and his gang of high-tech creators at Pixar create another entertainment for the ages. Like the few great movie sequels, Toy Story 2 comments on why the first one was so wonderful while finding a fresh angle worthy of a new film. The craze of toy collecting becomes the focus here, as we find out Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks) is not only a beloved toy to Andy but also a rare doll from a popular '60s children's show. When a greedy collector takes Woody, Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) launches a rescue mission with Andy's other toys. To say more would be a crime because this is one of the most creative and smile-inducing films since, well, the first Toy Story. Although the toys look the same as in the 1994 feature, Pixar shows how much technology has advanced: the human characters look more human, backgrounds are superior, and two action sequences that book-end the film are dazzling. And it's a hoot for kids and adults. The film is packed with spoofs, easily accessible in-jokes, and inspired voice casting (with newcomer Joan Cusack especially a delight as Cowgirl Jessie). But as the Pixar canon of films illustrates, the filmmakers are storytellers first. Woody's heart-tugging predicament can easily be translated into the eternal debate of living a good life versus living forever. Toy Story 2 also achieved something in the U.S. two other outstanding 1999 animated features (The Iron Giant, Princess Mononoke) could not: it became a huge box-office hit. --Doug Thomas

Toy Story 2 November 4, 2009
Linda K. (Stanwood, WA)
I ordered this for my young grandson when I couldn't find it in the local stores (was told they had to pull it off shelves). He loves the movie just as much as the Toy Story disk he has. I've watched it once with him and was not disappointed with the quality of the animation like the other great ones this company puts out. It was delivered very fast and highly recommend the seller.

Don't Toy With Us, Partner October 2, 2009

"Toy Story 2," the Pixar computer-animated flick entertains us wildly, but also teaches a lesson: it's better to be a toy loved and played with by a child than be a toy admired in a collectibles museum. Woody the Cowboy (voice of Tom Hanks) is owned by Andy who accidentally almost rips his arm off.
Andy's mother puts broken toys out in her yard sale, and Woody, trying to save a fellow toy from the sale, inadvertently gets spotted at the sale by Al, a greedy toy collectible dealer. He gets stolen and taken away by the dealer. Woody's toy buddies trace the dealer and hunt him down in order to save their buddy.
Woody learns that Woody the Cowboy had been a very popular puppet in a television series in the fifties. Toy Woodys were made as spin-offs back then. Now he's rare and valuable as a collectible especially to the Japanese market. One of the toy gang out to save Woody is Humm, a piggy bank (voice by John Ratzenberger - Cliff, the mailman on "Cheers".) Woody meets and falls for Cowgirl Jessie, and he encounters a bad toy, Stinky Pete, the Prospector (voice of Kelsey Grammer of "Frazier" fame.) The toy dealer calls in an expert restorer who cleans up Woody and reclaims the use of his arm.
There are wild chases, escape scenes, some very close calls, and a lot of toy ingenuity. Don't underestimate the skill of toys engaged in a rescue operation. The action is non-stop, and the movie is great for all ages without adult references and innuendoes to throw the kids off. The scenes at the airport are scary and hair-raising. It's a toy trip that most people will enjoy.
Toy Story! I love it! September 18, 2009
Diedre Strickland (Greenwood, MO)
Wow, I have a 19 year old son and a 19 month old little girl. I got this movie when the 19 year old was around 11. Popped it in when my little girl was about 6 months and playing in her bouncy seat....she was hooked! Both kids absolutely loved these movies and actually I do too. I've seen them both over and over again, and I still laugh. Great, great movies! Highly recommend them. Had to get new copies the others were actually worn out!
