A Lovable Sequel

Rating: 9/10 (9 August 2019)

Toy Story 2 is, what I think, the best one in the Toy Story franchise and is my favorite of the bunch, simply because there's a lot more to this one than the first Toy Story.
The story is where Andy is leaving for cowboy camp and was supposed to take Woody, but his arm ripped and decides to go on without him. Woody is put on a shelf and comes across an old friend Wheezy, who is an old squeeky penguin toy that lost his squeaker. Wheezy gets taken to a yard sale and Woody tries to rescue him, which he is able to but then a greedy man named Al steals Woody and drives off away. It's now up to Buzz, Slinky, Mr. Potato Head, Rex, and Ham to rescue Woody. Woody also meets new friends and realizes he was apart of a round up gang and is gonna be shipped off to Japan for a toy museum.
The story is very very good. Instead of Woody rescuing Buzz and trying to get back home, this time it is Buzz doing the work. The pacing went very well, and I felt like there was more comedy to this one than the first one. Don't get me wrong, the first one is still a classic, but I like this one a bit more.
The animation improved a lot, and the voice acting is very good. The cast from the first movie comes back and some new members like Joan Cusack, Kelsey Grammar, and Estelle Harris play new characters in this one and they all did a marvelous job.
In conclusion, Toy Story 2 is a phenomenal sequel and still holds up 20 years later.
