Beautiful, Witty, and Fun

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 1999)

After A Bug's Life I had rather high expectations from Pixar on Toy Story 2, and I am glad to say that it had met them and more.
One good thing was the way the movie expanded beyond Andy's house. The toy barn, the office, the airport, even the streets and roads looked very real, because of the attention to details. I think the ultimate goal of computer generated films is to re-create reality, and Toy Story 2 is one big step closer.
There was plenty of humor too. Except for a the Barbie parts (which I don't think Mattel would like), the movie feature the light-hearted jokes and gags which only a Disney animated film can give you, and the timing was perfect. You don't feel neither overwhelmed because there was too many gags in too little time, nor bored because the jokes were far between. Just the right amount of humor make this film enjoyable.
The best thing however was that the movie was more than just eye-candy. Even though the plot was more or less traditional, it did have many subplots that actually merged together quite nicely. The flow was flawless, as each subplot was given just the right amount of attention. At the end, everything was taken care of and you leave your seat feeling satisfied.
All in all, a very good film for all occasions. Take your kids or go with your friends. Everybody will like it.
