This movie is too good for just kids!

Rating: Null/10 (20 January 2000)

I am 45 years old, single, never married, and have no children. However, that didn't stop me from seeing and enjoying "Toy Story 2" this past weekend.
There is very little I can add to the comments already posted. CG animation works well for the toys and other non-living items, and even in the short time since the original "Toy Story" the improvement in the animation of "real" creatures (compare Sid's dog and the people in "TS" to Andy's dog and the people in "TS2") is impressive, but there is still room for improvement.
My favorite scene was when Jesse first meets Woody, and I danged near spit rootbeer through my nose when I saw the "Cleaner" character! Pixar's "Jumping Lamp" short that preceded the actual feature was a nice touch, as were the outtakes, although the flatulence humor was a little too "South Park" for my taste. One has to wonder if this would have passed muster if Walt Disney were still alive.
There are a couple of odd points that are never really answered, though. It turns out that Woody is a highly-prized cowboy doll inspired by a puppet character from an early B&W TV show (did anybody else make the connection to "Howdy Doody"?), which raised (to me, anyway) the questions of how Andy came to own one -- and in such good condition, yet! -- and how come Andy's parents weren't aware of Woody's collectible value?
And maybe I'm reading too much into this, but I personally feel that "TS2" also took a couple of well-aimed and well-deserved shots at the current "collectibles" trend. It tries and succeeds in making the point that toys are for kids and are meant to be played with, rather than purchased by adults and held as marketable commodities not unlike stocks and bonds (can you say "Beanie Babies"?).
It's poorly-conceived movies like "Inspector Gadget" and "George of the Jungle", or obvious movie-length commercials like "Pokemon" and "Ninja Turtles" that show us what is wrong with children's cinema today. We need more movies like "Toy Story" and "Toy Story 2" to show us what it can and should be.
