"The Toys Are Back!"

Rating: 10/10 (4 November 2011)

When Woody is stolen by a toy collector, Buzz and his friends vow to rescue him, but Woody finds the idea of immortality in a museum tempting.
You can consider me a huge fan of the original Toy Story. Pixar made a home run with that film, bringing elements for both adults and children to enjoy. But 4 years later, Pixar comes back with a sequel, that will seriously convince you otherwise. Toy Story 2 is five-million times better than Toy Story, no exaggeration. And that is still calling the original an amazing film. This one combines action, adventure, and best of all: heart. Some of the scenes will form tears in your eyes. Woody's decision whether to stay or go. Jesse's flashback about being abandoned. Like another reviewer has stated, this is not just a kid's movie. It combines everything that'll satisfy everyone's needs of movie entertainment. Of course, there is still those mild childish moments. But keep in mind that Toy Story IS a children's film and not made just for adults. Aside, I can think of no other complaints of this film. Everything is just done perfectly! In fact, Toy Story 2 cannot be topped from Toy Story 3, but who knows? If you enjoyed Toy Story, you'll love the sequel. (Who knew sequels could be better than the original?) If you were not so sure of Toy Story, who knows, you might end up loving this one. With the original mostly taking place in Andy's house or Sid's, this one takes the adventure everywhere possible! A toy store, an apartment, an airport, and everything you can think of. The animation really has topped the predecessor, succeeding in anyway possible! Now you can just maybe read the character's lips, foreshadowing future animation. The voice acting (yes, again defeating the original) is more styled and fun. The plot, yes, is bigger and badder and faces all sorts of problems. In fact, this film is a childhood dream; almost perfect. The film touches anything you can think of and even including fun! I enjoyed this one far better than the first, but we'll see what the third has in store. Toy Story 2 will always be a memory for me nevertheless. 10/10.
