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

It’s a masterpiece, as all the TS movies are, one full of stark wisdom, deep heart and manic whimsy.

while I think toy story 1 and 3 is better, with great twist villain with A MOTIVE and an upgrade in animation filled with a solid world expansion, definitely a great movie

One of those rare moments where the sequel is just as good, if not better than the first. I really enjoyed the new characters it introduced, Jessie and the rest of the gang, and the continued character growth of Woody and Buzz.

I’ve always overlooked sequels, especially Disney ones, because of how many there were during about the 2000’s so you can imagine this one was overlooked too. But just recently rewatching it, I was amazed! I had almost never seen a sequel that was close to being as good as the first movie! They took the concept of the first movie and didn’t miss a single detail. The new characters they introduced were so well crafted as well. And the animation was a huge step up, and holds up very well today. I would say this one is better than the first, but the first is more nostalgic. If you’ve only seen the first, you have to see this one too.
