Solid proof that sequels are not always inferior...

Rating: 7/10 (19 December 2010)

TOY STORY 2 expands on the originality of the first "Toy Story" by turning the plot into a rescue mission that must be performed by several of the main character toys led, of course, by Woody and Buzz Lightyear.
Once again, the voices perfectly match the characters, the special effects are brilliant, the script matches the clever aspects of the original, and the story actually has a lot more scope with more of a feel for the dramatic and dangerous world of airports, stolen goods, elevator shafts, street traffic and all sorts of predicaments that combine laughter with terror.
TOM HANKS and TIM ALLEN are back as the voices for Woody and Buzz, as are many others from the original cast. A nice new addition is Stinky Pete the Prospector, who also happens to be one of the best animated and most interesting of all the computer-generated figures. There's also a Mrs. Potato and a Cowgirl mate for our hero.
All of the technical aspects mark an improvement over the original and the quality of the script and story is just as good, marking one of the few times that a sequel more than matches the inspiration of the first film.
