An improvement on the original..

Rating: 10/10 (4 February 2000)

Well, I saw this film in Australia on New Years Eve. I enjoyed it far more than the original, as it has more interesting bits in it. The spoofs of Pleasantville/50s US TV shows, Star Wars, etc. is good and there's only 1 musical number in the middle as opposed to about 3 or 4 in the original, which is much better.
The comedy works even better this time around with tongue-in-cheek digs at the original Toy Story goings on and the little snippets of former Pixar productions, such as the Tin Toy Demo which appeared on the TV set, when Hamm is flicking through the channels.
Rex is my favourite character in the entire film.. but all the characters and the new ones work well in this film. Just one thing though, do not try to analyze this film for any implications might have regarding merchandizing of Buzz Lightyears etc., just go out, get the coke, the popcorn, and enjoy it.. it's great!
10 out of 10.
