Great Visuals, Great Story, Perfect Like the Original

Rating: Null/10 (10 August 2006)

"Toy Story 2" is Pixar's only sequel as of now (until "Toy Story 3" hits the big screen), and that's good, because Pixar isn't a company that wouldn't churn out endless amounts of sequels. Pixar might've been forced into making a sequel by Disney, they still turned out a great film. To Pixar, story is important. They wouldn't make a sequel unless the story was as good as, or better, than the original.
For its time, the animation is great, using more realistic details and foliage (many of which is taken from "A Bug's Life"). It looks so great that it stays up with today's standards (look at "Cars", you'll think it's real). Having seen this in 1999, it doesn't get old.
Toy Story 2 continues as Woody is stolen by a greedy toy collector. Buzz and the other toys journey to find him while Woody finds out that he is a vintage toy from a popular Saturday morning show from the 1950s. From there, the story gets more and more exciting with several twists. A worthy sequel and it's definitely as good as "Toy Story".
Pixar always keeps it going. "Toy Story 2" is certainly a more watchable sequel than most sequels. 10 out of 10.
