Teaser
Woody (voice of Tom Hanks) and Buzz Lightyear (voice of Tim Allen) are
the best of friends, even though they're both toys. As toys they and
their compatriots can only come to life when no people are around. It's
a happy life being Andy's toy. But one day Woody is stolen by the
unscrupulous Al (voice of Wayne Knight), who needs Woody to complete
his collection and sell it to a Japanese museum. Now it's up to Buzz
and the rest of the toys to find and rescue Woody.
Movie
"Toy Story 2" continues the adventures of Woody and Buzz. At heart this
is a simple story with fairly good dialogue that's both funny for
children and adults. The animation is, as far as I could tell, the same
as in the first movie. The toys look like toys and people don't look
like people.

Actors
It's voice acting. Good but nothing much to say. For the most part some
voices are distinctive enough that you'll recognize them. Others you'll
have to wait for the credits. I like knowing who the voices are that
way I can also picture the actor.
DVD
Wide screen and television formats. The only extras are a five-minute
outtakes segment and Pixar's first short "Luxo Jr."
Recommendations
While not a groundbreaking animation movie like the first Toy Story,
the sequel nevertheless delivers a funny and engaging tale. It's fun
for kids and people who loved the first movie and want to see more. |
