Toy Story 2 continues the tale of Andy's toys and is Pixar's 3rd movie.John Lasseter returns to direct as well as the entire star cast of the first part.
Animation is much improved than last time.This time the story takes place in a much larger environment,and the background is beautiful.
Toy Story2 has a much larger concept for the story and brought on board more fully fledged characters.Still ,Pixar gives #1 priority to the character development of every toy we see.The friendship between Woody & Buzz are one of the main highlights of the movie.
The fun is doubled and the comedy is spot on.Just like the first part we have some iconic scenes from major hollywood classics spoofed toy story style.
Another Pixar trademark is that its story and animation will touch your hearts.And Toy Story 2 has plenty of such scenes,the best one being Jessie's flashback.
Direction by Lasseter is flawless.He once again is able to create a well knit movie that never loses focus for even one frame.From start to finish its a complete adventure.
Pixar's devotion to bringing the finest movies can be seen in the movie's production.Disney as usual wanted a sequel for the hit Toy Story ,but just as a direct to video version.But due to the strong opposition from the Pixar team this was thankfully averted.Yet more problems faced the team.During production, Lasseter was unhappy on how the movie was turning out,and decided to redo the whole movie.But Disney was against this and wanted the movie at its proposed date.At extreme pressure the team worked non stop.Thus Toy Story 2 was made in 9 months.
On release ,the Pixar magic worked wonders.It was the second highest-grossing animated film of all-time , behind Disney's The Lion King (as on 1999).
Animation- 4.5/5
