If "Toy Story 2" was daring, it was for making the true villain into a fellow toy who is ruthless and willing to use violence, emotional manipulation and human beings to get what they want. Go to Full Review

E.D. J @Salty_Sass 6h Great addition to the series! Movie is funny and fun and heartfelt See more Joseph M @RT88261360 2d By far the best Toy Story movie of all time See more Natasha R @MsNatasha 2d Toy Story 2 is a cute sequel. They stay true to the original story and characters. I think it's really cute that the family grows up and the world moves on around the toys. The toy friendships feel real and wholesome. I love that Woody get's a deeper backstory and ends up with a few new friends. "When Somebody Loved Me" is an underrated Disney song; it is beautiful and heartbreaking. Having a toy seller as a villain is a great move! The Cheeto fingers when he's passed out on the couch is a hilarious touch that I didn't notice the first time I watched this years ago. The nods to Jurassic Park (Rex in the car mirror) and Star Wars ("no, I am your father) were fun additions to the film.
