Another good Pixar movie...

Rating: 8/10 (29 March 2006)

Toy Story 2 is a children's animated film about the adventures of a group of toys that live in the bedroom of an 8-10 year old boy. Much like the last movie, but with a way different plot. Woody, the hero from the last movie, is accidentally a part of a garage sale while trying to save a fellow toy from being sold at the garage sale. He ends up being stolen by a man named Al who runs a chain of toy stores. So, all the other toys have to go and save him. Conveniently, the little boy is gone away to camp, so he won't know. When Woody gets to Al's apartment, he discovers that he is a doll from an old show called "Woody's Roundup", thanks to his box mates Jesse and Stinky Pete the Prospector.
Simply put, this is a good movie. Thankfully, it doesn't rehash the plot of Toy Story 1. It's also got very well done drama parts. More so than the first movie. Most of the time, dialogue is good. However, there were points in the movie where I cringed a little bit, like the part where the pig loses his cork. And half the dialogue from the Roundup Gang was cringe worthy because of the annoying stereotypical west voices. Yeah, we get it, you're cowboys. Zippity-do-dah. Still, this is a solid movie. Good voice acting, original plot, brilliantly-done dramatic scenes. Which is why I give this movie four Woody yo-yos out of five.
