More Toys, More Story, More Fun

Rating: 9/10 (27 November 1999)

(In this review I will attempt to not divulge any plot points about this fabulous movie so I will be very brief)
John Lasseter has outdone himself again. Bettering what is perhaps one of the greatest animated titles of all time (Toy Story) is no easy feat but the creative geniuses at Pixar have done so marvelously.
Toy Story 2 is not only a stronger film visually than the original but is more enjoyable structurally as well. The characters (old characters along with a cast of new characters) are even richer than in the original movie and as the story progresses the mixture of humor and heartfelt emotion hits home powerfully.
I have not felt so giddy with excitement while viewing a movie in a long time. At the end of this movie and well after the credits had finished rolling I still had the silliest grin plastered across my face.
It would be a huge injustice if I did not strongly recommend this movie as a must see for everyone. In an age where great comedic films are hard to come by Toy Story 2 does a fantastic job and after viewing instantly made it into my top ten list of the year.
Grade: A+
