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

Top CriticA 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.
12/02/02
Much work has gone into the 'story' as into the 'toy', making this a rewarding return to an indisputable visual treat.
12/10/01
Top CriticProvides the kind of exhilarating cinema experience that leaves you gasping in admiration and actually wanting a third instalment.
01/01/00
Top CriticWonderful universal entertainment, a worthy sequel to Toy Story.

Not content to simply re-create the success of its predecessor, the sequel... reveal[s] itself to be a surprisingly philosophical work.
10/06/09
Inventive, hilarious, witty, touching and exhiliarting, (the final climatic scene which follows an airline's baggage handling system is heart stopping) "Toy Story 2" is that rarest of things - a perfect film.
10/01/09
Toy Story 2 always struck me as a disappointment. It's a fine movie with plenty of spirit, but the franchise formula feels diluted, lacking the spark of creativity that made the original film sing.
10/01/09
Colorful and witty...the mixture of action and humor proves as irresistible as ever.

Toys are us.
10/18/07
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.
06/20/07
Even better than the original.
05/26/06
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.
02/04/06
...one of the few sequels in the history of cinema that is an unqualified improvement over its predecessor in every way.
12/23/05
Definitely outdoes the first film. It's the Godfather II of computer animated films.
