The best animated film ever

I didn't really liked the first Toy Story-movie. Everybody said that it was great, but I thought (and I still do today) that the movie missed a spirit. It was only a show. A wide production of breathtaking animations. And, sure, the animation was impressive, but we have to review movies for what they are, right?
Therefore, the sequel surprised me like no other movie.
Toy Story 2 mixes some usual children's humour, most of it in the beginning, and ''real'' laughs, making it charming and entertaining like no other movie. At least not for kids.
The story seems simple, but still gets quite genious. People should not avoid this film, just because the animation. Lately, the animated movie has grown, to more adult-fitting. Not much, Toy Story 2 for example is not really an adult movie, but still some ingredients in ''Prince of Egypt'' and ''Antz''. Toy Story 2 is a movie for all ages. Really!
The characters are entertaining and no one is annoying. Some of the highlights (they are many) is definitely the encounter with Buzz Lightyear and another Buzz-action hero who really think he is a space hero, the car stop at the Barbie-section and the great ending scene at the airport. Like other sequels to movies like ''Home Alone'' and ''Austin Powers'' this sequel is not a remake of the original, where all the jokes has been easily uppdated and refreshed. Every lack the first movie had has been smoothely fixed up and the movie has a heart, wich, in my opinion, the original missed.
The adventure in the movie is a whole lot more entertaining than before, and it is a whole lot funnier than ''Toy Story''. Both the opening scene, the incounter with Woody and his round up-gang and the rescue-patrol is highly enjoyable. Quite a little masterpiece.
My rating: 9/10
