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.

I personally enjoyed this more than the first. A good sequel that lives up to its predecessor. I recommend!

This not only one of the best animated sequels, but also one of the best sequels in general. It both gives even more of what we love from the first and add in new things that make it even more delightful. This is one of those times where the 2nd movie is better than the first.

The best, at least for me, the backstory of Jesse it gets me all the times so sad, and the song is so so so beautiful. Without a doubt the best thing that Pixar has EVER made.

Toy Story 2 is full of incredible new characters and memorable scenes, like Woody being fixed and the airport.

9.4/10. clears the first toy story substantially. the plot of the movie is great. all the events that happen to the toys are legit “life” events for them (getting ripped, garage sales, duplicates, museums, merchandise). bringing jessie and bullseye in with the crew is the cherry on top and cements this movie as the best toy story.
