A must see!

This is a really good film.

Unlike other kid-directed movies -- stop blushing, Pokémon -- there's so much warmth and emotion here that adults will enjoy it as much as kids.

Top CriticA wonderful, tuneful score by Randy Newman, a laugh-filled script, out-of-this-world effects and some very talented voices and technicians have created a world we will want to visit again and again.

Toy Story 2 joins the tradition of children's stories, largely neglected of late, that say something real about the inevitable joys and tragedies of existence.
01/01/00
Not just matches, but actually surpasses a delightful original.

01/01/00
The film crafts its messages amidst humor that moves the story along with delight and laughter.
01/01/00
A barrel full of fun that operates successfully at two levels. First, as a joyful and energetic film, it will captivate children of all ages. Second, with its clever script full of cinematic in-jokes, it will also appeal to more experienced filmgoers.
01/01/00
Toy Story 2 manages to deliver solid family entertainment despite the familiar formula.
01/01/00
Director John Lasseter and his happy swarm of colleagues have got it right with this beautifully crafted dazzler.
01/01/00
Toy Story was the best of the Disney resurgence of the last decade.
01/01/00
The film is a celebration of life, love, fun, adventure and luck, made all the more brilliant by a steady theme underneath the surface. Children will undoubtedly adore it, but adults will find much to like as well.
01/01/00
Playful and involving.
01/01/00
A film that has a snappy pace, clever writing, and is condescending to neither kids nor adult viewers.
01/01/00
92 minutes of smart, zippy entertainment.
01/01/00
So full of sight gags, clever in-jokes and gentle satire (so gentle you could probably miss it) that it's sure to be a favorite among children and adults alike.
