Reviews for Toy Story 2
Inventive, hilarious, witty, touching and exhiliarting, (the final climatic scene which follows an airline's baggage handling system is heart stopping) "Toy Story 2" is that rarest of things - a perfect film.

Toy Story 2 always struck me as a disappointment. It's a fine movie with plenty of spirit, but the franchise formula feels diluted, lacking the spark of creativity that made the original film sing.
10/01/09
Colorful and witty...the mixture of action and humor proves as irresistible as ever.

Toys are us.

The movie's clearly articulated theme is whether life should be lived for the future or in the present, something both adults and children may find provocative.

Top CriticThe list of highlights is endless. Kids will love it; adults may react more deeply. Just wonderful.
06/24/06
Even better than the original.
05/26/06
With very rare exceptions - sequels are not nearly as good as the original. However, leave it to the folks at Pixar to manufacture the quintessential exception to this rule.
02/04/06
...one of the few sequels in the history of cinema that is an unqualified improvement over its predecessor in every way.
12/23/05
Definitely outdoes the first film. It's the Godfather II of computer animated films.
12/06/05
A hands-down masterpiece and the best film of the year, so far. Brave the holiday movie-going crowds and give yourself and the family a real treat.
04/09/05
One of the most entertaining and exciting animated features ever made, one of those rare sequels that bests its predecessor.
01/15/05
Pixar's gold standard for storytelling sophistication… not only their best all-around film, but one of the best films ever made, period.

Watching Toy Story 2 is like opening a box from the attic and finding your favorite childhood toys inside.
