Amazon.com:
John Lasseter and his gang of high-tech creators at Pixar create another entertainment for the ages. Like the few great movie sequels, Toy Story 2 comments on why the first one was so wonderful while finding a fresh angle worthy of a new film. The craze of toy collecting becomes the focus here, as we find out Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks) is not only a beloved toy to Andy but also a rare doll from a popular '60s children's show. When a greedy collector takes Woody, Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) launches a rescue mission with Andy's other toys. To say more would be a crime because this is one of the most creative and smile-inducing films since, well, the first Toy Story.
Although the toys look the same as in the 1994 feature, Pixar shows how much technology has advanced: the human characters look more human, backgrounds are superior, and two action sequences that book-end the film are dazzling. And it's a hoot for kids and adults. The film is packed with spoofs, easily accessible in-jokes, and inspired voice casting (with newcomer Joan Cusack especially a delight as Cowgirl Jessie). But as the Pixar canon of films illustrates, the filmmakers are storytellers first. Woody's heart-tugging predicament can easily be translated into the eternal debate of living a good life versus living forever. Toy Story 2 also achieved something in the U.S. two other outstanding 1999 animated features (The Iron Giant, Princess Mononoke) could not: it became a huge box-office hit. --Doug Thomas

Rating:  - Toy Story 2 DVD Review
My son loves Toy Story and Toy Story 2. I personally think that the second movie is fun because there are new characters. Voices are funny and story line is good. I would recommend this movie for kids and for families.
Rating: - Wow, look at those used prices!
I bought this back when it was $45 used, and I considered it a steal then. The Toy Story movies are absolute classics, no question about it. Even as computer animation gets better and better, these movies don't feel dated at all. (hint to Dreamworks: it's because the movies are filled with rich characters, not weak pop-culture references masquerading as "jokes.")
There are better versions of the movies available, but the differences are small and the Toy Box is a bit cheaper than getting ... Read More
