Toy Story 2

The second installment of the toy series not only keeps from spoiling the reputation of the brilliant original, but also references it, remembers it, and transfers its ideas into new twists and grander intentions. Instead of going to the pizzeria and to the neighbors, this time we go a good distance further, we experience one sincere tear-invoking moment, and we might even see Zurg. Ideas are raining down from Pixar, and the older I get, the more I shake my head in amazement at how everything can fit together so perfectly like this. (27/01/2007)

Toy Story 2 is a big hit, and I'm really sorry that I missed it during its theatrical release. The sequel continues in the same spirit, and I didn't find it worse than the first one. I had a lot of fun; all the characters are entertaining, the story ticks along smoothly, what more could you ask for. Hopefully, the fourth installment will be here soon... 100% (24/03/2013)

A sequel that is almost equally good to the now legendary first Toy Story. This film is ten years old and its animation, inventiveness and playfulness is yet to be surpassed (except by Pixar). Fascinating. Plus I love all the Star Wars references and especially the one to Jurassic Park. (06/09/2009)

Although this is rather dated in comparison to its younger brothers in technical terms, but it is still the best that Pixar has yet rolled out in terms of feature length movies. Which, given how humdrum part one was, is a very pleasant surprise. The pace and frequency of jokes is boundless. And, as a bonus, we get the outtakes during the closing credits (Bug’s Life 2 is outstanding). (13/04/2005)

When I watch essentially any installment of Toy Story, I feel like I'm returning to the same world. It's logical because the characters are the same, but more importantly, I'm returning to a world of consistent quality. Each installment is exceptional in its own way, and there is something interesting about it. I had an incredible time with all of them, and I was deeply moved as well. (09/04/2014)
