Toy Story 2 19 Nov 99

I loved the first film: the animation, the humor, the characters, the story, the visuals, everything. I thought it was just about perfect. This time, somehow, it's... even better. The first film pushed the limits of the tools; this time, it feels like there are zero limits. The visuals push far past Andy's house; the world this time feels nearly limitless. The 'villian'(s) are much more real than the bratty kid next door was in the first one, and the story is well considered and nuanced; no black and white flat melodrama here. This would have been a great script even for humans. On top of that, it's REALLY funny, far funnier than I could have imagined. This may be the best time I've had at a comedy in four or five years. A+



I can remember a time when where we went to the movies was just as important as the movies we went to see .... From the moment moviegoers arrived to buy their tickets, there was a sense of something special, a feeling that to step inside was to enter another time and place. - Gene Kelly
