A good, fun little movie

Rating: 7/10 (25 December 2013)

Normally I really do not like Disney Films, there is something about them that I just don't trust, but I quite enjoyed Toy Story. To me, there seems to be something hidden in Disney movies, and there is just this aura of sickness that surrounds them. Some kids movies I think are fine, but in regards to Disney movies and children, I feel that there is a lot of bad influence coming from them.
Anyway, Toy Story II is the sequel to the successful Toy Story. I personally thought the movie was okay but others seem to think it was really good. I actually found this movie to be quite funny, and enjoyed it as much as some of the children enjoyed it.
Andy, the owner of the toys, goes away on a camp leaving his toys at home. He was going to take the cowboy, but the arm tore so he was put on the top shelf, where discarded toys go. While away, his Mom goes through the room removing toys, and Weezy the Penguin is taken, so the cowboy decides to go and rescue him. During the rescue mission, a collector finds him and steals him to add to his collection so that he might make a lot of money from a Japanese museum. Buzz Lightyear, and the other toys, decide that they will go and rescue him from this fate.
I guess this movie is about friendship and honesty. A typical kids movie, though it does advocate the typical social mores of the modern society. This is especially seen in the Barbie doll scene. What is also cute is Rex, who is fascinated with playing Nintendo games, and Pigsy is pretty cute as well.
As I mentioned before, this is a kid's movie, so one cannot expect it to be deep. Its pure essence is to entertain children, but a good kid's movie will also entertain the adults as well. I think Toy Story II does that effectively.
