Tom Hanks is best when you can't see him

Rating: Null/10 (6 January 2000)

And Disney is best when it doesn't suffer from Not Invented Here syndrome. It's hard to believe this is a Disney production with this depth of character and plot.
Hardly anyone on this list mentioned the great Randy Newman music. The song "When She Loved Me" is as fine a song as you'll find anywhere and is used to very good effect. The animation is not what I'd call silky smooth. It does not make the movements of people very realistic, but the facial expressions of the toys are done better than many actors we are accustomed to seeing. Numerous animators are credited. The ones who did the faces deserve some special recognition, but what award is there to do that?
This is one of the few sequels that is better than its predecessor. The Gods Must Be Crazy is the only other one I can think of.
