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

One of the greatest sequels of all time, and the best of the Toy Story franchise. It does what every great sequel does; enriches the themes of the original while deepening its characters and expanding the emotional ground for everyone involved. But as emotional and devastating as it can be, it really is a fun, rollicking adventure on its own terms. Like its predecessor, Toy Story 2 manages to be deep and thoughtful without sacrificing its sense of fun and childlike wonder. There’s also just something so special about those first two Toy Story films. Something novel and truly nostalgic about their 90s animation "aesthetic" and vibe that really comes into play with the nature of it all. It’s deeper, thematically richer, more satisfying, and ultimately just as fun and entertaining as the original.

I love the original Toy Story I am a huge fan. But I think it would be better if they didn’t make it all tragic and sad in Toy Story 2 with Jessie being abandoned by her kid because it is going to make kids sympathize w their personal toys which aren’t actually real. I think the first movie was perfection so the change doesn’t feel like Toy Story for me. I think they should have stuck to the silliness of Toy Story 1 and ik Toy Story 1 did have depressing aspects like destroying toys and toys getting jealous but it was handled very comedically unlike this one.
