toying around to the fullest potential

Rating: 8/10 (14 August 2017)

I should say that "Toy Story 2" isn't a masterpiece, but still entertaining. What I particularly liked about it is how we see some characters' histories expanded and even get introduced to the evil Emperor Zurg (Buzz's sworn enemy). As usual, there are some references to movies outside the franchise to catch the adults' attention.
So, the tykes will probably enjoy the action while the parents will laugh at the references. Not my favorite movie by any stretch but still fun. I suspect that back when Wallace Shawn first made a splash in "My Dinner with Andre"*, no one ever envisioned him voicing a toy dinosaur in a Disney movie (or even starring in a movie like "The Princess Bride").
*My parents met him and Andre Gregory around the time that MDwA got released. The four of them had dinner together and had a philosophical conversation about the movie.
