Aussie boy's thoughts
Toy Story 2 brings back the original animated classic’s witty characters, charming humour and fun adventure. But although Woody’s journey in this sequel surprisingly remains as jolly as his first mission to rescue Buzz Lightyear, the design and ideas are completely renewed. Overall, families with young children will truly adore it, especially if they’ve hysterically enjoyed 1995’s Toy Story.
Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and the original’s cast all reprise their roles, but along comes new toys to add extra charm! Joan Cusack voices unforgettable Jessie the cowgirl and Wayne Knight voices the engaging toy thief. The additional characters, protagonists and antagonists, are extremely loveable.
There’s still the amazing use of visually-stunning computer-animation techniques, alongside heaps more jokes and entertaining moves. The eagerness will certainly excite you, if not amuse you more than the original. However, this animation probably should’ve avoided the minor complications between the characters. That’s right, Toy Story 2 would’ve been completely perfect if it dodged some character arguments and disagreements. Thankfully, this element is passable and will be highly adored by young children.
