A genuine treat that improves on the original and entertains all.

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2000)

What a load of fun. Toy Story 2 manages to be better than the original, which was already pretty darn good. The Pixar stuff is so captivating. But the technology is not what makes this movie work so well. The characters, dialogue and action operate on enough levels to keep adults and children entertained. When something slapstick is happening for the kids to enjoy, there's some obscure or deadpan piece of wit to lay on the adults. This layering goes on throughout. It might be wishful thinking, but if Babe deserved a Best Picture nomination a few years ago, Toy Story 2 should get at least the same consideration. It made no mistakes and offered generous helpings of tenderness, excitement and laughter. You can't ask for much more from a movie.
