The movie's clearly articulated theme is whether life should be lived for the future or in the present, something both adults and children may find provocative.

The list of highlights is endless. Kids will love it; adults may react more deeply. Just wonderful.

With very rare exceptions - sequels are not nearly as good as the original. However, leave it to the folks at Pixar to manufacture the quintessential exception to this rule.

...one of the few sequels in the history of cinema that is an unqualified improvement over its predecessor in every way.

Definitely outdoes the first film. It's the Godfather II of computer animated films.

A hands-down masterpiece and the best film of the year, so far. Brave the holiday movie-going crowds and give yourself and the family a real treat.

One of the most entertaining and exciting animated features ever made, one of those rare sequels that bests its predecessor.

Pixar's gold standard for storytelling sophistication… not only their best all-around film, but one of the best films ever made, period.

...one of the funniest, exciting, and genuinely moving stories ever committed to film.

Seldom has there been such a brilliant sequel to such a brilliant predecessor.

A full measure of Toy Story 2's success can be gauged by its undeniable appeal for children who have never seen a Western television show or played with a cowboy toy.
