Not as good as the first, but still a great movie

Rating: 9/10 (5 September 2011)

A lot of people say that Toy Story 2 is a sequel that is better than the original. Well, the first Toy Story is my favorite animated movie of all time, so of course I have to disagree. But that doesn't stop the fact that this is still an amazing movie.
Like the first, the animation is fantastic, even better this time. The old characters are engaging, and it's funny as heck. New characters are added this time, such as Jessie, the yodeling cowgirl, who I thought was a little annoying in the beginning, but began to really like as the film went on. Bullseye, a horse who make so much emotion with his eyes and mouth. The Prospector, who acts sort of like a father figure to Woody, and Barbie, who is so sweet it's almost sickening, but man is she fun.
There are a lot more villains in this film, the main one is Al, who flat out steals Woody. Zurg, Buzz Lightyear's arch enemy, some might say that the second Buzz is another villain, and there's even a surprise villain, who I won't give away.
The movie deals with a lot more adult themes, such as growing up. Woody begins to wonder what will happen to him when Andy grows up and doesn't play with him anymore.
The plot is so jam packed that I won't go into it, over all, it's still an excellent movie, but I still like the first one more, even if this one may be better in it's story.
