Toy Story 2
Ever wonder what toys do when people aren't around? Disney/Pixar's TOY STORY answers that question with a fantastic fun-filled journey, viewed mostly through the eyes of two rival toys- Woody, the lanky, likable cowboy, and Buzz Lightyear, the fearless space ranger. Led by Woody, Andy's toys live happily in his room until Andy's birthday brings Buzz Lightyear onto the scene. Afraid of losing his place in Andy's heart, Woody plots against Buzz. But when circumstances separate Buzz and Woody from their owner, the comically-mismatched duo eventually learn to put aside their differences, and they find themselves on a hilarious adventure-filled mission where the only way they can survive is to form an uneasy alliance.In the second installment, Buzz, Woody, and their friends return as Andy heads off to Cowboy Camp, leaving his toys to their own devices. Things shift into high gear when an obsessive toy collector named Al McWhiggin, owner of Al's Toy Barn, kidnaps Woody. At Al's apartment, Woody discovers that he is a highly valued collectible from a 1950s TV show called "Woody's Roundup," and he meets the other prized toys from that show - Jessie the cowgirl, Bullseye the horse and Stinky Pete the Prospector. Andy's toys mount a daring rescue mission, Buzz Lightyear meets his match, and Woody has to decide where he and his heart truly belong.

Witty, brilliantly realised comedy of celebrity and obsolescence; it shows an advance in technique over the original, but its narrative, lacking the darker impulses of the first film, is not as resonant.
-
"...The best family-oriented action movie for years....Funnier, more thrilling and more genre-bustingly brilliant than you could imagine..." -- 5 out of 5 stars

Toys don’t last forever
Disney/Pixar's continuation to 'Toy Story' from 1995 establishes several amusing additional characters and has vibrant celebrity voice-overs and energy to spare, although the story line on this occasion (taking some of the toys out of the bedroom and into the big wide world) doesn't maintain a great deal of fascination.
Woody is purloined at a yard sale by a toy collector and ascertains he's a valuable one-off in the antique market; Buzz, Slinky Dog, Rex and Mr. Potato Head come to the rescue. Greatest moment is the amusing sci-fi beginning (which manages to be sardonic and electrifying), and Woody's preamble to his character's personal history is delightfully offered. The big rescue, while vivacious for the youthful audience, is prolonged and bursting of frenzied skirmish; there's so much pretentiousness (and shrieking from the actors) that the intricate niceties and warm melancholy which earmarked the foremost 'Toy Story' unhurriedly slithers away.
Moderately enjoyable, but fails to come within reach of the originals prominence. It has more style, superior animatronics, an acceptable storyline, but none of the spirit the first instalment contained.
I do think that this one used the wake of the original to get the success it has.
It’s good, but not THAT good
Buzz Lightyear: You killed my father.
Emperor Zurg: No Buzz, I am your father.
Buzz Lightyear: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

A Classic
This is for everyone and all those people who loved the first. Perfect reference and good lessons for the kids about friendship and sacrifice. Good Stuff for the adults with a reference to Star Wars. Laughed a lot at the Dinosaur. Who is my favourite character. You must watch this and get everyone you know to watch this young or old.
