Great Film: Toy Story 2
Better than the original
I thought the original Toy Story was great. I went to this movie hardly
knowing anything about it. Toy Story 2 exceeded my
expectations; it's better than the original Toy Story. This movie works on
two levels. It's aimed at younger kids, who will love the wackiness of the
characters and the situations they find themselves in, though some of the
jokes might sail over their heads (but they'll laugh anyway). It's also
aimed at adults, who, when I saw it, laughed louder than the kids at some
points. The voice work is excellent, especially Tom Hanks and Tim Allen,
reprising their roles from the original. The supporting toys (Mr. Potato
Head, Slinky Dog, et al.) have much bigger roles this time
around.
This movie has everything: Andy's new dog Buster; two dueling Buzz
Lightyears; partying Barbie dolls; three 3-eyed aliens from the original;
even the Evil Emperor Zurg! I can't emphasize enough how great this movie
is and I highly recommend it for kids and adults.
