Woody (Tom Hanks) is stolen from his home by toy dealer Al McWhiggin (Wayne Knight), leaving Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) and the rest of the gang to try to rescue him. But when Woody discovers that he's actually a valuable collectible from a once-popular television show called "Woody's Roundup" and is reunited with his horse Bullseye, Jessie the yodeling cowgirl (Joan Cusack) and his faithful sidekick, Stinky Pete the Prospector (Kelsey Grammer), he doesn't want to leave.

Critics Consensus

The rare sequel that arguably improves on its predecessor, Toy Story 2 uses inventive storytelling, gorgeous animation, and a talented cast to deliver another rich moviegoing experience for all ages.

Toy 2 is colorful and funny, and the computer-animation from Pixar Animation Studios creates a convincingly detailed environment for the toys.

Toy Story 2 has a colorful computer animation (<—woah organic colors) plus too very expressive visual storytelling with that good quirk of heuristics (wow this makes no sense but.) it is warm and accurate imaginative cinematic aesthetic. A score and sound design compliment the toys experience making their world an even more immersive place. The film uses its inventive camerawork, and does the right thing by mingling humor with its emotional thread.

It’s one of the best sequels I’ve ever saw in my whole entire life, gotta say a lot of references in this movie like Jurassic Park, Star Wars you name it I love it I really do. Watching this whole entire franchise it’s trying to make me watch the Fifth one in theaters I’m really going to see the new one when it comes out on June 19th!
