"Toy Story" Gets A Decent Sequel.

Rating: 8/10 (8 August 2014)

"Toy Story 2" originally began as a planned, direct to home release sequel. I also remember it being one of the first highly pirated VHS tapes in the UK.
It's great to see so many new characters and scenario's in this second outing, and as always they cast these things obscenely well. The toy barn and airport scenes are super impressive "set" pieces, and hands down the highlight of the movie is when they cross the motorway like something straight out of a Buster Keaton picture.
Unfortunately, I feel the movie has aged over the years. It's still hugely enjoyable, but I don't want to lie to myself and say it's as impressive as the first movie. Even now with the release of "Toy Story 3" (2010) that movie had the exact same premise, but the execution was a little more refined.
Final Verdict: After everything that's been said, it's still another gem from Pixar worth seeing. 7.5/10.
