Toy 2 is colorful and funny, and the computer-animation from Pixar Animation Studios creates a convincingly detailed environment for the toys.

★★★★☆ Toy Story 2 is pure nostalgia for me and still holds up incredibly well. What impresses me most is how naturally it expands both the world and the characters. Jessie, Bullseye, and the whole Woody’s Roundup storyline add so much depth without ever feeling forced. The writing is just rock solid—whether you love the franchise or not, it’s hard to deny how well crafted it is. The jokes come one after another and almost every single one lands, keeping a smile on your face throughout (well, except during Jessie’s heartbreaking montage). Even after all these years, it remains one of Disney and Pixar’s finest achievements.

A animated sequel that manages to be as good as the original. It's sillier but still keeps the charm and has some memorable sequences.

This movie is better than the first one, there is no debate. It gave us more than the the original. It has more great characters, more awesome action scenes, and the twist villain is so good that it is one of the best twist villains in animation history. It is also claimed to be one of the best sequels in cinema history and I agree with that 100%. It is the best one of the toy story series and will be forever.
