My very first review on my blog was Toy Story (and received an extremely rare five star rating out of four stars), and know I'm doing it's sequel.
Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) and all your favorite characters are back in Toy Story 2. When Woody is stolen by a toy collector named Al McWhiggin (Seinfeld's Wayne Knight). So the other toys venture off to rescue their cowboy friend. Meanwhile, Woody meets up with Jessie (Joan Cusack), his trusty steed Bullseye and Stinky Pete, the Prospector (Kelsey Grammer), all from an old '50s T.V. show named "Woody's Roundup." Woody, who's now very valuable, must make a choice between going to Japan with his new friends or stay with his old friends while his new friends go into storage without him, perhaps forever.
The most important thing to know about the sequel is that it is expanded visually by at least tenfold. I'm not saying that the first film's visual effects were bad, I'm just saying that Toy Story 2's were better.
The film still contains some of the glorious, awesome, wonderful humor that made the first film charming, but it's also the bit of edgy adult humor that keeps the adults laughing along with the kids.
Tom Hanks leads an eclectic and wonderful cast that features some of the most comedic actors ever to walk the earth including Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Kelsey Grammer, Don Rickles and the late Jim Varney.
With wonderful graphics, a beautiful script, fantastic visuals, nice humor. Toy Story 2 is a wonderful film that lives up to Toy Story 1
Rating: **** out of ****
