Everything you want in a sequel and more.

Rating: Null/10 (21 November 1999)

What is the typical stereotype on film sequels? They're bigger and supposedly better, right? But the truth of the matter is that they are mostly never on par with the original. That certainly isn't the case here. Toy Story 2 is absolutely everything you want to see in a sequel and more. You have the return of everyone's favorite characters, Woody & Buzz along with very memorable side characters (Hamm, Mr. Potatohead, Rex, Slinky Dog) with an addition of a few new memorable characters, in a very fun and smart action comedy for all ages. What makes this film work so well is that the audience isn't second guessed for a second and none of this film is dumbed down for the kids, which is probably why the adults were laughing four times harder than the young ones. The first Toy Story was outstanding enough, but to have a sequel be even more entertaining is always a pleasant surprise. Pixar has done it again, and I was amazed by every frame of it.
