In this dazzling sequel to the 1995 blockbuster, Andy heads off to summer camp, leaving the toys behind to fend for themselves. In much the same way Buzz discovered he is a mass-produced product in the first installment, Woody discovers that he is a valuable collectible spawned by a popular 1950s kiddie-puppet TV show, "Woody's Roundup Gang," when he is kidnapped by an evil toy collector, Al McWhiggin. Through Al, who plans to sell him to a Japanese toy museum, Woody is reunited with the toy versions of his TV cohorts--plucky cowgirl Jessie (Cusack), prospector Stinky Pete (Grammer), and trusty horse Bullseye. Woody must choose between seeing Andy grow up and forsake him and living a sterile but eternal life behind glass being admired--but not played with. Meanwhile, the rest of the original toy troupe undergoes a thrilling crosstown adventure to locate their kidnapped friend and restore him his rightful owner. Extremely entertaining, surprisingly touching, endlessly thrilling eye candy for anyone of any age. Golden Globe Winner: Best Motion Picture--Musical or Comedy. Includes outtakes and bonus short, "Luxo Jr.," plus a sneak preview of Disney/Pixar's MONSTERS INC. [More]

Reviews for Toy Story 2
Seldom has there been such a brilliant sequel to such a brilliant predecessor.
A full measure of Toy Story 2's success can be gauged by its undeniable appeal for children who have never seen a Western television show or played with a cowboy toy.
A wonderful movie that made me go through lots of shades of emotions.
Every bit as intelligent, humorous and heartwarming as its predecessor.
Even though computer animation may seem like the coldest, least organic art form, the characters pulse with more humanity than most live actors can muster in a dozen mainstream movies.
The moral of Toy Story 2 is that nothing lasts forever so it's important to savor all the precious moments of love while you still have the chance.
People have argued whether this one surpasses the original; my vote is no, but it comes damn close.
Much work has gone into the 'story' as into the 'toy', making this a rewarding return to an indisputable visual treat.
They may be animated by computers, but the characters in Toy Story 2 are some of the most lifelike and affecting creations in any movie this year.
