David B. @DJmovieman 3d A sequel that lives up to its predecessor 'Toy Story’ (1995) I truly enjoyed this movie from start to finish. It’s a rare thing these days knowing a sequel could be better than the first movie. It’s one of those movies you put on (VHS, DVD, or Digital) and you just have a great time! Recommend watching it if you enjoy a fun animated movie! See more William M @RT61821956 6d The fact that this franchise has not one, but TWO movies with a 100% score really says something about its quality. We get some newcomers here, like Jessie and Bullseye, who have become just as iconic as the characters in the first film. The story also appropriately increases the scale, and tackles deeper themes than the first, solidifying itself as not just a perfect sequel, but one that outdoes the original in almost every way.

Ainda sim muito bom See more Rocco S @Rocstar Apr 25 Toy Story 2 is super fantastic and probably in my top 5 of Pixar movies and I think this movie is the best Toy Story movie the animation is a lot better than the first and really well done new characters Jessie and bullseye are fun and Jessie is way funnier and her story was excuted well even thought her backstory never made me cry stinky Pete is a pretty good twist villain and honestly Toy Story 2 is one of their best the only thing for Toy Story 2 it’s not the best Pixar movie that theirs another movie that is better than it in my opinion overall this is still a great sequel 5/5 See more Matteo Q @Matteo59 Apr 19 Non è bello come il primo ma è comunque bellissimo See more Read all reviews
