Amazon.co.uk Review

John Lasseter and his gang of high-tech creators at Pixar create another entertainment for the ages. Like the handful of other great movie sequels, Toy Story 2 comments on why the first one was so wonderful while finding a fresh angle worthy of a new film. The craze of toy collecting becomes the focus here, as we find out Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks) is not only a beloved toy to Andy but also a rare doll from a popular 60s children's show. When a greedy collector takes Woody, Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) launches a rescue mission with Andy's other toys. To say more would be a crime because this is one of the most creative and smile-inducing films since, well, the first Toy Story.

Although the toys look the same as in the 1994 feature, Pixar shows how much technology has advanced: the human characters look more human, backgrounds are superior, and two action sequences that book-end the film are dazzling. And it's a hoot for kids and adults. The film is packed with spoofs, easily accessible in-jokes and inspired voice casting (with newcomer Joan Cusack especially a delight as Cowgirl Jessie). But as the Pixar canon of films illustrates, the filmmakers are storytellers first. Woody's heart-tugging predicament can easily be translated into the eternal debate of living a good life versus living for forever. Toy Story 2 was deservedly a huge box-office success. --Doug Thomas, Amazon.com

4 out of 5 stars Great, but not as great as TS1.......2007-12-18

Sorry, not the best review really - If you loved TS then you will like this, but not quite so much (IMHO!)

4 out of 5 stars More adventure and more laughs!.......2006-09-06

Another great film from Pixar, during a period when computer animated films were still a bug thing, unlike now where they come out all the time, and we take them for granted.
This sequel is almost perfect really - even the computer technology had advanced over the 6 year gap, and the film looks so more detailed than the original. The plot is more adventerous, and the new characters are a real laugh, making it very fresh.
I think the first film was more "original" but this sequel has more of the laughs!

5 out of 5 stars A brilliant film, if anything better than the original........2005-01-19

There is a rumour that this was planned as a straight to video (DVD) release and it only secured a cinematic release when Pixar realised how good it was. It certainly was good enough.

A great story following the gang attempting to rescue Woody after a toy collector has kidnapped him (technically I guess he is stolen but it feels like a kidnapping). As in the first film the story works on a number of different levels successfully appealing to children and adults.

Once again the animation is fantastic and the vocal talents superb: Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Kelsey and Joan Cusack are all excellent.

Simply wonderful

5 out of 5 stars Toy Heaven fun for people of all ages.......2004-07-03

This is one of the best animated gems in the world its all great and its the best hour of half you could ever watch this really makes you want to know where is the 3rd movie i say this is great a must buy its great this is a must buy. Tim allen and tom hanks join up agian to make the great odd couple BUZZ AND WOODY

4 out of 5 stars A good sequel.......2004-05-30

I wasn't sure whether I'd like this when I received it but it turned out to be better than I expected. The basic storyline is that a toy dealer steals Woody to sell to a toy museum. The others set out to rescue him.

Woody gets his arm torn and Andy starts to lose interest in him. At the same time Andy's mum sets up a yard sale. By the end of the day, the toy dealer has Woody in his clutches.

I won't give the final bit away but the last bit ruined it for me. Too many things are done to raise the tension level. It seems that every possible complication is suddenly brought into play. It probably would be good for children but the art of good story telling is to make people forget, at least for the duration of the retelling, that it's only a story.

It has the wit and heart of the original and raises the question of whether success or love is better. On the downside, the scripting of the final part of the rescue operation lets the film down a bit.

Amazon.co.uk Review

There is greatness in film that can be discussed, dissected, and talked about late into the night. Then there is genius that is right in front of our faces--you smile at the spell it puts you into and are refreshed, and not a word needs to be spoken. This kind of entertainment is what they used to call "movie magic" and there is loads of it in this irresistible computer animation feature. Just a picture of these bright toys on the cover of Toy Story looks intriguing as it reawakens the kid in us. Filmmaker John Lasseter's shorts (namely Knickknack and Tin Toy, which can be found on the Pixar video Tiny Toy Stories) illustrate not only a technical brilliance but also a great sense of humour--one in which the pun is always intended. Lasseter thinks of himself as a storyteller first and an animator second, much like another film innovator, Walt Disney.

Lasseter's story is universal and magical: what do toys do when they're not played with? Cowboy Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks), Andy's favourite bedroom toy, tries to calm the other toys (some original, some classic) during a wrenching time of year--the birthday party, when newer toys may replace them. Sure enough, Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) is the new toy that takes over the throne. Buzz has a crucial flaw, though--he believes he's the real Buzz Lightyear, not a toy. Bright and cheerful, Toy Story is much more than a 90-minute commercial for the inevitable bonanza of Woody and Buzz toys. Lasseter further scores with perfect voice casting, including Don Rickles as Mr. Potato Head and Wallace Shawn as a meek dinosaur. The director-animator won a special Oscar "For the development and inspired application of techniques that have made possible the first feature-length computer-animated film." In other words, the movie is great. --Doug Thomas

Toy Story 1 John Lasseter's Toy Story poses the universal and magical question of what do toys do when they are not being played with? Cowboy Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks), Andy's favourite bedroom toy, tries to calm the other toys during a wrenching time of year--the birthday party, when newer toys may replace them. Sure enough, Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) is the new toy that takes over the throne. Buzz has a crucial flaw, though--he believes he is the real Buzz Lightyear, not a toy.

5 out of 5 stars toy story 1995.......2008-01-19

I absolutely love toy story 1 as much as toy story 2. this movie after a while has grown on me a lot and i watch this a lot now because at first i didnt like it. this is as great as the second one and my favorite character in both movies is rex the dinosaur. the best part of the movie is in the end where the family is moving and the toys are in the moving truck and woody and buzz are on the chase. the opening theme song you've got a friend in me by randy newman is one of my favorite tracks. this movie is as great as toy story 2, monsters inc, and ice age. get all four of these great movies.

5 out of 5 stars A Classic, Gold Dust, A Gem.......2007-12-18

I often wonder why I buy DVD's - after all I could hire them because I hardly ever watch them more than once. But not so Toy Story.

I have kids, but they just give the excuse to watch this film. It's just such a good story - forget the ground breaking animation (which you will enjoy too), just get lost in the narrative - great story, great casting.

No its not deep meaningful or complex, but there is just something brilliant about it - made by people who love film.

5 out of 5 stars The very first feature computer anim, and still the best!.......2006-06-23

Toy Story is definitely a film that a kid should watch before they are a teen. Its adventure and great sense of humour is appealing to adult audiences as well, and the atmosphere is brilliant. This really is a Toy Story. The plot is indeed quite simple, and it would have to be for a classic family. Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks)is a toy 'sheriff' doll, owned by a young boy called Andy. Woodys Toy life couldn't as Andy loves him a lot, but as Andy's birthday party arises tension fills the bedroom with each toy living in fear of being replaced. Everything goes well till the last birthday present is opened.. enter Buzz Lightyear!

I would be criminal to tell you the rest of the story, but as far as humour and adventure are concerned, this film impresses in both categories. The toys different personalities really contrast and make you laugh, from the smart-chat of Mr. Potatoe head, to Slinky who is Woodys best toy friend. Its so easy to follow this film - the plot and characters are easy to watch the computer graphics are top notch. Compared to modern day CGI kids films, this stands out purely because of its innocence - a simple story, theirs no techno-babble, and its really fun. It was the first complete animation via computer, and still the best!

5 out of 5 stars C'mon, they're not lying down on the job..........2006-04-22

Do not be fooled by the meagre 4 stars given to this film. It is a stroke of pure genius and is certainly not just for the kids. Each time you watch it you see something that you haven't before and it's this depth and amazing attention to detail which makes this film unsurpassable. The characters have been cast to perfection and after watching this, you'll never look at any Tom Hanks character the same way again. The story is anything but simple and with such an array of great characters, it's impossible to not identify with at least one.
This film is not only worth a watch but also worth a buy as you will never ever get tired of watching it.

5 out of 5 stars A stroke of genius.......2005-02-02

I have to say this film will be hard to beat. A beautifully animated film aIl bout toys which come to life in the absence of humans.....genius if you ask me. A must for adults and i suppose a few hours entertainment for kids seeing it is a cartoon and toys are in it.
i gave it 5 stars coz i couldnt give it more so this is the least it deserved. If you havent watched it........guess what...watch it now

4 out of 5 stars More adventure and more laughs!.......2006-09-06

Another great film from Pixar, during a period when computer animated films were still a bug thing, unlike now where they come out all the time, and we take them for granted.
This sequel is almost perfect really - even the computer technology had advanced over the 6 year gap, and the film looks so more detailed than the original. The plot is more adventerous, and the new characters are a real laugh, making it very fresh.
I think the first film was more "original" but this sequel has more of the laughs!

5 out of 5 stars A brilliant film, if anything better than the original........2005-01-19

There is a rumour that this was planned as a straight to video (DVD) release and it only secured a cinematic release when Pixar realised how good it was. It certainly was good enough.

A great story following the gang attempting to rescue Woody after a toy collector has kidnapped him (technically I guess he is stolen but it feels like a kidnapping). As in the first film the story works on a number of different levels successfully appealing to children and adults.

Once again the animation is fantastic and the vocal talents superb: Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Kelsey and Joan Cusack are all excellent.

Simply wonderful

5 out of 5 stars Toy Heaven fun for people of all ages.......2004-07-03

This is one of the best animated gems in the world its all great and its the best hour of half you could ever watch this really makes you want to know where is the 3rd movie i say this is great a must buy its great this is a must buy. Tim allen and tom hanks join up agian to make the great odd couple BUZZ AND WOODY

4 out of 5 stars A good sequel.......2004-05-30

I wasn't sure whether I'd like this when I received it but it turned out to be better than I expected. The basic storyline is that a toy dealer steals Woody to sell to a toy museum. The others set out to rescue him.

Woody gets his arm torn and Andy starts to lose interest in him. At the same time Andy's mum sets up a yard sale. By the end of the day, the toy dealer has Woody in his clutches.

I won't give the final bit away but the last bit ruined it for me. Too many things are done to raise the tension level. It seems that every possible complication is suddenly brought into play. It probably would be good for children but the art of good story telling is to make people forget, at least for the duration of the retelling, that it's only a story.

It has the wit and heart of the original and raises the question of whether success or love is better. On the downside, the scripting of the final part of the rescue operation lets the film down a bit.

Toy Story & Toy Story 2 - Double Pack [2000]

Amazon.co.uk Review

Toy Story
John Lasseter's Toy Story poses the universal and magical question of what do toys do when they are not being played with? Cowboy Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks), Andy's favourite bedroom toy, tries to calm the other toys during a wrenching time of year--the birthday party, when newer toys may replace them. Sure enough, Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) is the new toy that takes over the throne. Buzz has a crucial flaw, though--he believes he is the real Buzz Lightyear, not a toy. Bright and cheerful, Toy Story is much more than a 90-minute commercial for the inevitable bonanza of Woody and Buzz toys. Lasseter further scores with perfect voice casting, including Don Rickles as Mr Potato Head and Wallace Shawn as a meek dinosaur. The director-animator won a special Oscar "For the development and inspired application of techniques that have made possible the first feature-length computer-animated film". In other words, the film is great.

Toy Story 2
Like the handful of other great film sequels, Toy Story 2 comments on why the first one was so wonderful while finding a fresh angle worthy of a new film. The craze of toy collecting becomes the focus here, as we find out that Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks) is not only a beloved toy to Andy but also a rare doll from a popular 1960s children's show. When a greedy collector takes Woody, Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) launches a rescue mission with Andy's other toys. This is one of the most creative and smile-inducing films since, well, the first Toy Story. Although the toys look the same as in the 1994 feature, Pixar shows how much technology has advanced: the human characters look more human, backgrounds are superior and two action sequences that book end the film are dazzling. A hoot for kids and adults, the film is packed with spoofs, easily accessible in-jokes and inspired voice casting (with newcomer Joan Cusack especially a delight as Cowgirl Jessie). But as the Pixar canon of films illustrates, the filmmakers are storytellers first. Woody's heart-tugging predicament can easily be translated into the eternal debate of living a good life versus living for forever. --Doug Thomas, Amazon.com

5 out of 5 stars To infinte, and beyond!.......2001-05-20

The two films are pure class. The animation on the second seems to have improved and it is absolutely superb. The characters are very comical with some new additions for the second film. Buy this!

5 out of 5 stars a GREAT film !!!.......2001-04-26

This film has it all. It has action, it has romance, there's comedy. It has the space theme for sci-fi lovers and it has a cowboy for the more traditonal amongst you. These films appeal to all ages; especially the big kids!!!! This just proves that Disney still have it. Good clean fun for the whole family, with rip-roaring jokes and funny out-takes. That will keep the you LAUGHING for days

5 out of 5 stars The Best gets Better!!!.......2001-03-02

Well at first when I thought when I saw Toy Story that this is great. It had a very good story line and evrything was superb. But when I heard that the was Toy Story 2 I thought just like other films that it won't be as good as the first but it was every bit as good. Smashing!!!!!!!!!

John Lasseter and his gang of high-tech creators at Pixar create another entertainment for the ages. Like the handful of other great movie sequels, Toy Story 2 comments on why the first one was so wonderful while finding a fresh angle worthy of a new film. The craze of toy collecting becomes the focus here, as we find out Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks) is not only a beloved toy to Andy but also a rare doll from a popular 60s children's show. When a greedy collector takes Woody, Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) launches a rescue mission with Andy's other toys. To say more would be a crime because this is one of the most creative and smile-inducing films since, well, the first Toy Story.

Although the toys look the same as in the 1994 feature, Pixar shows how much technology has advanced: the human characters look more human, backgrounds are superior, and two action sequences that book-end the film are dazzling. And it's a hoot for kids and adults. The film is packed with spoofs, easily accessible in-jokes and inspired voice casting (with newcomer Joan Cusack especially a delight as Cowgirl Jessie). But as the Pixar canon of films illustrates, the filmmakers are storytellers first. Woody's heart-tugging predicament can easily be translated into the eternal debate of living a good life versus living for forever. Toy Story 2 was deservedly a huge box-office success. --Doug Thomas, Amazon.com
