Toy Story 0002

***Toy Story 2*** is a 1999 American computer-animated adventure comedy film which was produced by Pixar Animation Studios and directed by John Lasseter. Co-directed by Lee Unkrich and Ash Brannon, the film is the first sequel to *Toy Story* and any Pixar film and the third movie made by Pixar. In the film, while Andy is away at Cowboy Camp, Woody is stolen by a greedy toy collector named Al McWhiggin, prompting Buzz Lightyear and his friends to rescue him. However, Woody finds the idea of immortality in a museum tempting. The film returns many of the original characters from *Toy Story*, with their respective actors reprising their roles, and introduces several new characters, including Jessie, Bullseye, Barbie, Stinky Pete, Emperor Zurg, and Mrs. Potato Head, although Zurg and Mrs. Potato Head were only mentioned in the first *Toy Story* movie. *Toy Story 2* is the last *Toy Story* film in which Jim Varney, who provides Slinky Dog's voice, appears before his death of lung cancer in 2000. **Disney initially envisioned the film as a direct-to-video sequel and *Toy Story 2* began production in a building separated from Pixar and was much smaller scale, with most of the main Pixar staff working on *A Bug's Life* (1998). When story reels proved promising, Disney upgraded the film to theatrical release, but Pixar was unhappy with the film's quality. Lasseter and the story team re-developed the entire plot in one weekend. Although most Pixar features take years to develop, the established release date could not be moved and the production schedule for *Toy Story 2* was compressed into nine months.** Despite production struggles, *Toy Story 2* opened in theaters November 24, 1999 to wildly successful box office numbers, eventually grossing over $497 million, and highly positive critical reviews. *Toy Story 2* has been considered by critics and audiences alike to be one of few sequels that outshine the original, and it continues to be featured frequently on lists of the greatest animated films ever. In honor of its 10th anniversary, the film saw and a 3-D re-release in 2009 along with the original movie. The film's success led to the production of a second sequel, *Toy Story 3*, which was released in theaters on June 18, 2010. After the third film’s success, *Toy Story 4* was released in theaters on June 21, 2019.

## Plot

**The film begins with scenes of Buzz Lightyear on an adventure in outer space, which ends with him being destroyed by the Evil Emperor Zurg, but it turns out to be a video game Rex has been playing. He is upset about losing at the game, mostly because of his small arms. In 1997, some time two years after the events of the first film, Andy (now eight-years old) is preparing to leave for Cowboy Camp with Woody.** Unfortunately, during his playtime (five minutes before departure), Andy accidentally rips Woody's arm, and is unable to take him to camp. After being placed on the shelf, Woody watches Andy leave without him. The next morning, after having a nightmare of Andy coming home from camp early and throwing him into a trash can because of his torn arm, he finds another broken toy, Wheezy the Penguin, and begins to fear he'll soon be thrown away. When Wheezy is set out for a yard sale, Woody manages to rescue him, but ends up in the yard sale himself. He is seen by Al, an obsessive, greedy toy collector and proprietor of *Al's Toy Barn*. He tries to buy Woody from Andy's mother, but she refuses to sell him. After failing to negotiate a sale, Al creates a distraction and steals Woody, prompting Buzz to take action. He slides down the gutter into the yard sale and sees Al getting into his car after packing Woody in the trunk. Buzz manages to get to the car as Al is driving away, but by the time he opens the trunk, Buzz loses his grip from the car and Al escapes. **However, a clue is presented to Buzz as the car speeds away: a feather from Al's trunk lands in front of him. Buzz informs the bad news to the toys, who try to investigate the culprit. However, Buzz is trying to type the license plate number that he briefly saw on Al's car to track it and whoever he was, and the rest of the toys, including Etch A Sketch, were having problems doing an identity portrait of Al. When Mr. Potato Head gets fed up with Buzz trying to investigate the number with Mr. Spell and irritably tells the others to "leave Buzz to play with his toy," the word "toy" causes Buzz to decipher what the license plate said: "Al's Toy Barn" and consequently order Etch to draw the man in the chicken suit. They later had to try and locate an Al's Toy Barn commercial to trace a map to the shop. Buzz then heads out to Al's Toy Barn with Rex, Potato Head, Hamm, and Slinky Dog to rescue Woody.** Meanwhile, Woody is taken to Al's apartment, where he is greeted by a yodeling cowgirl named Jessie, an affectionate horse named Bullseye, and Stinky Pete the Prospector, an unsold toy still in its original box. They reveal to Woody that he is a vintage *Sheriff Woody* collectible doll and the star of a forgotten children's TV show, *Woody's Roundup*. Along the way, Woody discovers that his show has been cancelled due to the launch of SPUTNIK and children finding more interest in space than the Wild West. Now that Al has a Woody doll, he has a complete collection and intends to sell the toys to a museum in Japan, but Woody refuses to go as he doesn't want to abandon Andy. Later, Al arrives and accidentally rips off Woody's torn arm completely, making Woody attempt to recover his arm and then return to Andy which he fails. Al then gets a repairman who fixes Woody (and overpaints the name "Andy" on his boot). After that, a suddenly depressed Jessie tearfully tells Woody of how she once had an owner that loved her, but eventually outgrew and abandoned Jessie at a charity toy drive. The Prospector warns Woody that he faces the same fate as Andy grows up. Woody decides to stay with the "Roundup Gang" to go to the museum, now believing that all toys eventually get discarded by their owners. **At the same moment, Buzz and his friends search for Al at Al's Toy Barn. After Buzz orders his friends to split and look for Al. He discovers an aisle full of newer Buzz Lightyears and gets in a scuffle with a new Buzz Lightyear, who, like the real Buzz in the first movie, does not realize he is a toy. The real Buzz then ends up being tied up and repackaged in a box and set on the shelf for sell by the Deluded Buzz who then sets off with the other toys for Al's apartment, genuinely believing that he is attempting to rescue a hostage from his arch-enemy, Emperor Zurg.** The original Buzz frees himself and follows them to the apartment, but he accidentally frees an Emperor Zurg toy, who follows to destroy him while exiting the store. When the toys reach the apartment, Woody tells them he does not want to be rescued and intends to go with his new friends to Japan. After the original Buzz arrives, in an ironic reversal of a scene from the first movie, he reminds Woody, *"You're a child's plaything. You... are... a toy!".* He also said that the reason he came to save Woody was that Buzz believed in him. Woody (figuratively and literally) turns his back on Buzz, telling him that he intends to go to the museum with his Roundup gang and that Buzz has wasted his time coming over to the rescue. Disappointed that they came a long way for nothing, Buzz's group leaves without Woody, but not before Buzz says a rather upset farewell to Woody, warning him that he will end up spending the rest of his life watching kids from behind the glass and never being loved again, and leaves him to contemplate his decision. **However, Woody soon has a change of heart, realizing that Buzz is right, and, after calling Buzz and the group back, invites the "Roundup Gang" to come home to Andy with him. Jessie and Bullseye agree, but the Prospector escapes from his box and locks them in the room, desperately wanting to go to the museum, since he was never sold, he will not have Woody mess it up for him. Al returns and packs the Roundup Gang, and the rest of the toys give chase but are interrupted by the sudden appearance of the Emperor Zurg toy. The second Buzz battles him, and in a showdown mimicking a similar scene from *The Empire Strikes Back*, Zurg reveals himself to be Buzz's father, shortly before his defeat at Rex's hands. The other toys resume the rescue mission and find an unattended vehicle (a Pizza Planet delivery truck) and drive it to the airport, along with three Aliens. The second Buzz remains behind with Zurg, playing father and son games and the original Buzz bids farewell.** After arriving at the airport, Buzz and his group free Woody and Bullseye from the suitcase. The Prospector has other plans, though, and he re-tears Woody's arm, even though it still works. However, Buzz and his group come to Woody's rescue and stick the Prospector in a little girl's backpack so he can "learn the true meaning of playtime". The Prospector is terrified to learn that the little girl likes to draw on all of her toys. Woody then concludes, "Happy trails, Prospector." Jessie, however, finds herself in trouble and remains trapped in the suitcase. Woody and Buzz ride Bullseye to rescue her from being taken to the museum on her own. **Woody manages to find Jessie inside the plane, but just when they're about to escape, the door closes, and the plane heads for the runway. Woody finds another way out of the plane through a small hatch that leads down to the landing gear wheel, and as they are doing so, he slips on tar, but Jessie catches him. When the plane is on the main runway, Woody knows that time is running out. In true "Woody's Roundup" style, he uses his pull string to swing him and Jessie down to safety on Bullseye's back - just seconds before the plane takes off. Their mission accomplished, the toys now make their way home.** Just then, Andy returns home from Cowboy Camp. Seeing Jessie, Bullseye and the Squeeze Toy Aliens, he decides to add them to his toy collection. However, Buzz becomes a bit smitten with Jessie. Woody's ripped arm is repaired by Andy himself. The events of the airplane's cargo hold have a terrible (and hilarious) consequence for Al. After Hamm fails at the Buzz Lightyear video game, he flips through the channels and sees Al in an Al's Toy Barn commercial, crying since he lost the Roundup gang and the money he was going to get for the delivery, which is why in the commercial he is selling everything for as Al says in the chicken suit, "For a Buck, Buck, Buck". While Al is crying over his loss of money, Hamm says a somewhat humorous remark about Al and his scheme (*"Well, I guess crime doesn't pay."*). Mrs. Potato Head adopts the aliens to Mr. Potato Head's dismay, while a fixed Wheezy sings a Frank Sinatra-style version of "You've Got a Friend in Me" as Buzz asks Woody if he is still worried about Andy giving him up. Woody replies that he *isn't* worried about Andy discarding him anymore and that when it is all over, he will have old Buzz Lightyear to keep him company, for "infinity and beyond".
