"I don't remember eating that!"

Rating: Null/10 (27 May 2000)

I went to see this show at the local dollar theater last night with my girlfriend, and actually (for once) ended up watching the movie instead of her.
Surprised? You bet I am. This is a first.
Back in 1995, Pixar's original masterpiece, "Toy Story," captivated audiences with its magic, attacking the angle of toys being alive. This perspective, however, shows more -- much, MUCH more -- than just toys singing and dancing. It shows that they have feelings, not that they are just some mindless bits of plastic and cloth. ("Puppetmaster" ring any bells?)
The sequel, however, takes things a step further. In the opening, Pixar and John Lasseter prove one thing: Animation and creativity know no bounds. From the amazing opening scene to the epi-climax under the plane, this show carries through, and is just as good as the original. It's not necessarily a sequel; it's more of another adventure with Woody and his pals, which is what made it interesting for me: I don't like having to think about what happened in the previous movie(s) unless I have to.
In short, if you liked "Toy Story," you'll LOVE the sequel. For any lover of great animation and wonderful storylines, this show is twelve stars out of ten. A job well done.
