We felt that the public, and especially the children, like animals that are cute and little. I think we are rather indebted to Charlie Chaplin for the idea. We wanted something appealing, and we thought of a tiny bit of a mouse that would have something of the wistfulness of Chaplin- a little fellow trying to do the best he could. — Walt Disney

Even more for the whole family than the first one!, February 8, 2000
My wife and kids (11 and13) actually kind of dragged me to see this one in the theater. Boy was I happy that they did! Toy Story 2 is really a great movie that had us all laughing a lot. It also provides for some very emotional moments (Jessie’s song remembering her time as a favorite toy, among others). Many of the jokes refer to the first Toy Story, so it really helps if you know that one. What I personally liked best, though, has become a great “habit” with Pixar: The end trailors where the “stars” get to be their “own self”: Here especially “Tour Guide Barbie” was a blast!
Enjoy… I can’t wait for it to come out on DVD to once again enjoy the great graphics AND sound effects that so impressed me in the theater last week!

For those who missed out on the earlier two dvd releases of “toy story 2″ have a reason to cheer now! Their patience seems to have paid off. Thanks to buena vista, All new special edition of pixar’s superbly crafted, highly entertaining masterpiece will be available on dec26.
This being the first ever two disc release of the film, most of the special features available on the toy box and the single disc release will be here. Of course, there’ll be quite a few new features as well alongwith a DTS track, a pixar dvd first(also available on the recently released 2 disc set of toy story 1 dvd).
As usual, first disc will contain the main feature which has been digitally remastered using higher bitrate with picture direct from pixar’s digital source. Two audio tracks will be available on the disc, dolby digital 5.1 EX and DTS 5.1 ES. There will also be a commentary track for the enthusiast, featuring John Lasseter and his creative team including Lee Unkrich, Ash Brannon and Andrew Stanton.

I took my Niece to see it and expected it to begood but I was not prepared for what followed. What a terrific movie.Woody and Buz have worked through the problems that existed between them in the first Toy Story and have become the best of friends. I laughed throughout the movie. What humor, I loved the scene where Mrs. Potato Head is packing Mr. Potato Head for his trip to save Woody and she packs his angry eyes “just in case”. The depth of the personalities, the humor and thoughtfulness of each of the characters makes me feel as though these are real people. I have put this movie on my list of “All Time Favorites” My Niece is 5 and I am 47 and we both loved it. I am eagerly waiting for it to be available for home viewing so I can own my own copy. Hats off to Disney and Pixar for a job well done.
