A lot of fun

Rating: 9/10 (16 October 2009)

Like the first Toy Story, I decided to re-watch this one. Unlike the original which I still adore, this one has actually dropped one point in my ratings (It was originally a 10/10, but now I'll drop it to a 9/10). Why? Well unlike the original where I find everything perfect, this movie does have a few annoying moments. I'm not a big fan of the Star Wars references, and the Jessie character gets really annoying with her constant screaming (which is entirely Joan Cusack's fault). I also felt this film lacked a strong central villain (neither Al or Stinky Pete come close to Sid). I also prefer the slightly darker tone of the original more, where as this one felt more "lighter", and dare I say "child-like". It also felt far more sappier than the original (specifically the Jessie Song). Those complaints aside, I still consider this one a favorite, and the animation does hold up better than the original. The new Buzz is great, and all of the old characters are still funny, as well as the jokes. Even though my rating of this movie dropped one point, I still currently rank this as Pixar's second best as it's superb entertainment that both children and adults can enjoy.
