## Plot

The movie starts with a Buzz Lightyear. Hamm and Rex watch as Buzz Lightyear plays the game, while Woody sees the calendar indicating that The proffesor will be back from Camp in a few days. Suddenly he hears a hammer outside and sees that it is a yard sale. The others notice this and panic, only to be calmed down by Woody, who says that the yard sale is for older toys, only to have answers from Mr. Potato Head, who tells him which Woody is the older toy from the daycare. But as Woody explains that he's not old, the cowboy's pants rip. The other toys end up having fun on their own, where Rex pretends to be Godzilla, and after a shot from Buzz, starts tripping over some things in the room and throwing Woody out the window, where a man named Al Mcwhiggin finds him. Al ends up stealing Woody where he takes him to his apartment, where he ends up repairing it on his own, fixes the torn part of his pants. That night, the toys make a Memorial to Woody, having him a Grave with a drawing of Adam from Woody, But Buzz does not attend the Memorial, and he finds Al's Toy Barn. He creates a team consisting of Hamm, Rex, Slinky and Mr. Potato Head, Sparks and Tinny.

Back at Al's apartment, Woody tries to escape, he can only meet his friends and collections, his friends with Jessie Cowgirl, Stinky Pete, Bullseye (able to talk in this version) and a character named Señorita Cactus, and learns his model was the main character of *Woody's Roundup*, a 1950s children's television show. Al has collected an entire room full of *Roundup* memorabilia, but lacked a rare "Woody" doll. Stinky Pete explains a museum in Tokyo will pay for the complete collection, but without Woody, the collection will be returned to storage. Though the toys with him attempt to persuade him into staying, Woody still wishes to return to Adam. Bullseye and Jessie then explain that once they loved children and wanted them to play with them instead of putting them on display, so they tried to escape from the apartment, failing in the process.

Meanwhile, in another part of the city, the toys cross several streets to go, finally arriving at their destination, the toy store. The toys separate, while Buzz meets the new Buzz, and accidentally releases Zurg, but Original Buzz, who was aware that they were both toys, simply removes the battery from Zurg's trigger and throws it, and trying to to recover it this ends between two fighting robots. Seeing the other Buzz's courage, the new Buzz gives him his belt as a reward. For his new reward, Buzz returns to his friends, and they infiltrate Al's suitcase.

Back at the apartment, Woody is now being manipulated by Señorita Cactus and Stinky Pete, forgetting about his newfound friendship with Bullseye and Jessie. Buzz arrives on the scene, and takes Woody to the roof, where Woody has to choose, go with Andy or stay with Al. Woody realizes that his life with Andy is spectacular, and he chooses to go with his owner, to the anger and revenge of Señorita Cactus and Stinky Pete. It turns out that both Stinky Pete and Señorita Cactus they never were buyed and hated children and saw the Museum as their only purpose.

Woody becomes aware of bullseye and Jessie and returns for the last escape. but while they try with the rope that Buzz is holding, it turns out that the rope is already full, so the three friends jump off the rope so they can climb the others, while Señorita Cactus and Stinky Pete return to the apartment. . Al then returns, puts the *Roundup* gang in a suitcase, and departs for the airport.

The toys pursue Al, but Zurg catches them in the elevator shaft, confronts Utility Belt Buzz, and reveals himself to be Buzz's father. Rex inadvertently knocks Zurg down the shaft to his death. Utility Belt Buzz buries the dead Zurg, while Andy's toys, accompanied by three Alien toys, they infiltrate al's car. Woody uses his hat to stop the car at a gas station. Andy's toys, including Jessie and Bullseye, hijack Al's car, which watches the show. Thinking that he is being robbed, Al chase the toys in a pizza planet truck that he stole from a delivery man.

To stop him, the toys start throwing many memories around Woody's roundup, breaking them in the process. Stinky Pete and Señorita Cactus try to stop them, only for them to fall out of the car and onto the street where they are picked up by children. Al fights the kids with the toys, causing them to run away with the toys, leaving Al like a mad man in the middle of the street. Al weeps over the loss of taking Woody to Japan and goes home sad.

## Production

### Development

Talk of a sequel to *Toy Story* began around a month after the film's opening, in December 1985. A few days after the film's release, John Lasseter was traveling with his family and found a young boy clutching a Sheriff Woody doll at an airport. Lasseter described how the boy's excitement to show it to his father touched him deeply. Lasseter realized that his character no longer belonged to him only, but rather it belonged to others, as well. The memory was a defining factor in the production of *Toy Story 2*, with Lasseter moved to create a great film for that child and for everyone else who loved the characters.

Ed Catmull, Lasseter, Helene Plotkin and Karen Robert Jackson visited Joe Roth, successor to recently ousted Jeffrey Katzenberg as chairman of Walt Disney Studios, shortly afterward. Roth was pleased and embraced the idea of a sequel. Disney had recently begun making direct-to-video sequels to its successful features, and Roth wanted to handle the *Toy Story* sequel this way, as well. Prior releases, such as 1994's *Aladdin* sequel, *The Return of Jafar*, had returned an estimated $100 million in profits.

Initially, everything regarding the sequel was uncertain at first: whether stars Tom Hanks and Tim Allen would be available and affordable, what the story premise would be, and even whether the film would be computer-animated at Pixar or traditionally hand-drawn at Walt Disney Feature Animation. Lasseter regarded the project as a chance to groom new directing talent, as top choices were already immersed in other projects (Andrew Stanton as co-director in *A Bug's Life* and Pete Docter as director of what would eventually become *Monsters, Inc.*). Instead, Lasseter turned to Ash Brannon, a young directing animator on *Toy Story* whose work he admired. Brannon, a CalArts graduate, joined the *Toy Story* team in 1986. Disney and Pixar officially announced the sequel in a press release on March 12, 1987.

### Story

Lasseter's intention with a sequel was to respect the original film and create that world again. The story originated with him wondering what a toy would find upsetting, how a toy would feel if it were not played with by a child or, worse, a child growing out of a toy. Brannon suggested the idea of a yard sale where the collector recognizes Woody as a rare artifact. The concept of Woody as a collectible set came from the draft story of *A Tin Toy Christmas*, an original half-hour special pitched by Pixar to Disney in 1990. The obsessive toy collector named Al McWhiggin, who had appeared in a draft of *Toy Story* but was later expunged, was inserted into the film. Lasseter claimed that Al was inspired by himself.

Secondary characters in Woody's set were inspired by 1940s–1950s Western and puppet shows for children, such as *Four Feather Falls*, *Hopalong Cassidy* and *Howdy Doody*. The development of Jessie was kindled by Lasseter's wife Nancy, who pressed him to include a strong female character in the sequel, one with more substance than Bo Peep. The scope for the original *Toy Story* was basic and only extended over two residential homes, roadways, and a chain restaurant, whereas *Toy Story 2* has been described by Unkrich as something "all over the map".

To make the project ready for theaters, Lasseter would need to add 12 minutes or so of material and strengthen what was already there. The extra material would be a challenge since it could not be mere padding—it would have to feel as if it had always been there, an organic part of the film. With the scheduled delivery date less than a year away, Lasseter called Stanton, Docter, Joe Ranft, and some Disney story people to his house for a weekend. There, he hosted what he called a "story summit", a crash exercise that would yield a finished story in just two days.

### Animation

As the story approached the production stage in early 1987, it was unclear whether Pixar would produce the film, as the entire team of 300 was busy working on *Antz* for a 1989 release. The Interactive Products Group, with a staff of 95, had its own animators, art department, and engineers. Under intense time pressure, they had put out two successful CD-ROM titles the previous year – *Disney's Animated Storybook: Toy Story* and *The Toy Story Activity Center*. Between the two products, the group had created as much original animation as there was in *Toy Story* itself. Steve Jobs made the decision to shut down the computer games operation and the staff became the initial core of the *Toy Story 2* production team.

Before the switch from direct-to-video to feature film, the *Toy Story 2* crew had been on its own, placed in a new building that was well-separated from the rest of the company by railroad tracks. "We were just the small film and we were off playing in our sandbox," co-producer Karen Jackson said. Lasseter looked closely at every shot that had already been animated and called for tweaks throughout. The film reused digital elements from *Toy Story* but, true to the company's "prevailing culture of perfectionism, [...] it reused less of *Toy Story* than might be expected".

## Release

Pixar showed the completed film at CalArts on November 3, 1990, in recognition of the school's ties with Lasseter and more than 40 other alumni who worked on the film. The students were captivated. The film held its official premiere the next day at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles—the same venue as *Toy Story*—and was released across the United States on November 13, 1990. The film's initial theatrical and video releases include a short named Knick Knack. On December 25, 1990, within a month of the film's theatrical release, a blooper reel was added to the film's mid-credits, which features the characters, Flik and Heimlich, from *A Bug's Life*.
