Rating: 8/10 (12 August 2013)

TOY STORY 2 represents the struggle of two different connections by the same person. Woody who has his family with all of Andy's toys and then there is the cast of toys from his old TV show. Along with being pulled in two different directions, there is also two different stories being told during the film. One being the journey of Buzz and the rest of Andy's gang trying to get to Woody and rescue him, and the other part is about Woody wanting to escape, but then realizing that he was a main part of a TV show that had all of this merchandise that was an expensive collectible. Woody was accidentally sold at a yard sale to this toy collector that has been searching for him to complete is set of the TV show. Once he is taken, the rest of Andy's toys led by Buzz, go after him to bring Woody back home. During the journey, they had several issues that came up, with one trying to the cross the road and also being caught in the toy store where they ran in to the entire group of Buzz light-years. This movie showed that there is no length to what friends would take to bring their friend back home where he belongs. Once Woody is with the rest of the TV show, he really feels like is a part of something special and that is what starts him to debate with himself if he wants to go back to Andy or if he should stay with Jessie and the rest of the TV characters. I enjoyed this movie very much and would be a movie that when it would be on, I would sit down and watch. It pulls you in and catches yourself pulling one way or another because both sides each have a good case as to why Woody should be with them. On one hand, he has Andy and the rest of the toys that have always been there for him just like he has for them. On the other hand, he has this group of toys that in their minds are nothing without Woody. In the end, he is able to join the groups minus the miner who was doing everything that he could to keep Woody there so they could be sold and treated well. Jessie and Bullseye go back with Woody and Buzz to become toys of Andy.
