The best CGI Animated Film Yet

Rating: 9/10 (28 November 1999)

I was wondering how Toy Story 2 would stack up to it's predecessor , as the first film was both visually incredible as well as being entertaining for both child and adult. Well this film, in my opinion, not only met such lofty expectations but surpassed them as well. Once again Pixar has raised the bar for CGI rendered animated films.
Just as the first film gave the viewer a truly three dimensional animated world to see, this one filled in the gaps. Thanks to exponential advances in computer technology, TS 2 is even more visually stunning than the first. There is more detail everywhere. From the expressions on the faces of the human characters, to the dust that has settled on "the shelf", the animators have set a new standard.
But what makes this film a joy is a very well written script and screenplay as well as a lot of humor for both child and adult. One of my favorite parts in the film is when Buzz is fighting in the toy store with another Buzz Lightyear who is still caught up in the idea that he is a "real Buzz Lightyear". In this fight Buzz says "was I really this delusional?". The re-introducing of this sub-plot into the story was not only innovative but it put an original twist on it. Very clever.
All in all I would say that this is a superb film, exceeding the first one. I would recommend it to anyone, young or old. Go see it. If you are a lover of film, as I, you will be happy you did.
