An amazing sequel!

Rating: 9/10 (24 August 2019)

Toy Story 2 is once again directed by John Lasseter alongside with Ash Brannon and Lee Unkrich. Screenplay by Andrew Stanton, Rita Hsiao, Doug Chamberlin and Chris Webb.
Starring all the original cast alongside with Joan Cusack, Kelsey Grammer and Wayne Knight.
The movie takes a place after the landmark 1995 computer-animated blockbuster, but this time Woody is stolen by a toy collector, Buzz and his friends set out on a rescue mission to save Woody before he becomes a museum toy property with his roundup gang Jessie, Prospector, and Bullseye.
I loved the first TS movie, I think it's one of the best animated movies of all time, though I didn't give it an A+, but grade is not everything. Anyways TS2 is a very rare sequel that took the success of its predecessor and added something on it, yeah, it has the same pattern of the first one, a toy is lost and the others are looking for them, but as I said, they added something on it, and it definitely worked!
TS2 is my least favorite of the franchise, though I think it's an amazing sequel to an amazing movie, and there are many reasons why this movie is so good, let's see:
As I said the movie was like the first one a little bit, the concept itself, but it added something more, every toy from the first one here was involved at the searching for Woody, they weren't just watching from the window. And they took their screentime, and they were hilarious. The movie has some very cool Easter Eggs, some are easy to notice and some aren't, but still hilarious.
The movie also has a more of a plot, not like its predecessor, only a couple of toys trying to find their way home, no! This time a character has a back story, that effects the whole movie, and adds more depth to it!
It also has an amazing animation, which is still, to this very day, timeless! IF you didn't like the animation in the first one, or you think it wasn't that great, you will definitely like this one! The movie also has a very sense of humor, but the first one was funnier to me. The characters are so charming once more, and there are some new characters, some don't have that much of screentime, but some has a lot.
Woody and Buzz once more are the best part of this movie, their friendship inspired me as a kid, and it keeps inspiring me til now! And that's a great thing about this movie, it works, once again, for kids and adults.
The casting choices are once more, brilliant, all of them were so much alive, you never feel like they are just cartoon characters, the actors added so much live and depth to their characters!
The plot is so good, the first one was simple, but this one is a little bit deeper and with more storytelling, but still not perfect, some scenes didn't make sense. I know, it's a movie about talking toys, there's one scene in particular that didn't make sense at all, spoilers ahead, if you haven't watched TS2!
Alright, the scene when Woody was trying to get his arm from Al, the Prospector turned on the TV and put the remote under Jessie's box, and she didn't notice AT ALL!
Back to business, another flaw bugged me a little, is the Prospector's character, he didn't have any motivation to do what he did, I mean he hates humans and he doesn't want to me played with, he didn't get abandoned by someone before, he only saw Jessie and heard her story, and that's really it, I know he doesn't want to get abandoned, but it wasn't enough for me.
There are my only issues with this movie, otherwise that was great movie, and some said it improved on the first one, for me.. no, but I understand why do they think that.
Toy Story 2 is once again impressive and charming, with amazing animation and good sense of humor, and an entertaining adventure for all ages! I'm gonna give Toy Story 2 an A! If you haven't seen this one, go check it out, it definitely worth your time.
