Toy Story 2 is a good sequel to Toy Story, it takes everything good in Toy Story and adds more to it, making it better than its predecessor. The story starts with Woody being stolen by a greedy toy collector, which leads Buzz and friends through an adventure to save Woody. The whole story constantly introduces new aspects and clever ideas about toys, which adds depth and meaning to every action in the movie. The comedy and pacing of the movies are still as good, if not even better, than the original. My favorite part of this movie was the involvement of other toys and the various unique and famous scenes this movie has produced. It really gives us a deep dive into the world of toys and continues the essence of the original movie and carries it forward, something which sequels often struggle with. Toy Story 2 showcases many themes and messages like its predecessor, some of the main messages are the value of experiences and acceptance of change as life will not always be the same. It also showcases selflessness in the characters and the importance of finding belonging and purpose. Overall, Toy Story 2 perfectly utilizes the platform set up by Toy Story to step up the story in a good direction with the introduction of new characters, development of the characters in the older movies and introduction of newer aspects with an amazing story and animation to make it complete package even better than the original. I give this movie five stars and recommend it to anyone who has not watched it or has not watched it in a while, as it is going to surprise you with the level of depth and details that you missed out on during the first watch.
