Summary: Fun movie, something for everyone
Review: I liked a lot about this video (didn't see it in the theatre), just about the worst thing in it was the approx. 9 minutes of movie previews and commercials for other videos. Once you get past that the viewer gets to see a little short PIXAR made about two desk lamps and their antics, just about anybody ought to like that. The story itself I won't really get into except to say that the plot while somewhat kiddish is entertaining with something for everyone altough I think some gags are aimed more at adults than children.
The thing I liked most about it is the way everything was rendered so well. Final Fantasy was completely computer generated but the characters had a certain artificial action in their movements, in Toy Story 2 everything moves very well indeed. Woody & friends move more like people than puppets, the lighting is realistic, details are amazing ( I certainly remember seeing Jessie's reflection in a window). If PIXAR can do so well now (see also Monsters, Inc.)what will they be able to achieve in another 5 years.

Summary: Toy Story and Toy Story 2 pak
Review: This is a great DVD set because not only do you get the staple of computer animated movies in Toy Story but you also get Toy Story 2, the great follow up!

In Toy Story, it's all about the big move to the new house and leader of the toys in Andy's room, Sherriff Woody (Tom Hanks) prepares his fellow toys for the big move but before the big move, after Andy's birthday, a new toy moves in, Buzz Lightyear of Space Command (Tim Allen). Slowly, Woody starts to feel as if he's getting replaced by Buzz and in an attempt to win Andy's affection back, they both instead get LOST! And now it's a race to find their way back to Andy in time of the move.

In Toy Story 2, Woody is kidnapped because he's accidentily dropped in a box for a garage sale. His kidnapper, Al (Wayne Knight) is a classic toy collector and then Woody finds out that he was also a national phenomenon just like Buzz is. He also finds the rest of Woody's Round Up Gang, Jessie (Joan Cusak) and Stinky Peter (Kelsey Grammar) and they tell him that now that the Round Up Gang was complete that they were going to the Toy Museum in Japan. Woody not wanting any part of that, tries to find ways to escape and get back to Andy while his friends, led by Buzz, Slink the Dog, Mr Potatohead, Rex the T-Rex and Ham are on the hunt to find Woody before Andy gets home.

Seriously, how can you go wrong with either of these classics? This is one of the best DVD sets I own and probably one of my favorites. This set should be a part of any family's collection because the kids will love this movie and the parents will be glad that they did. Also, if you're looking for another great DVD for the whole family, check out MONSTERS Inc and SHREK. Those 2 titles will also go great for your collection.

Summary: Two excellent animated movies on a 2-Disc DVD Set.
Review: "Toy Story" and "Toy Story 2" are two excellent animated movies that I own on a 2-Disc DVD Set. "Toy Story" deals with Woody, the cowboy doll, and Buzz Lightyear, the space ranger, getting kidnapped by Sid, a kid who tortures toys. "Toy Story 2" deals with Woody getting kidnapped by Al, the chicken man and toy collector. There he meets Jessie, the cowgirl, Bullseye, the horse, and Stinky Pete, the prospector. But Buzz Lightyear and the gang are here to save him. If you're a Disney fan and own a DVD player, please own this DVD. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Review: cute movies that people of all ages can get enjoyment from, only minor complaint is not enough extras. I definitely would prefer some better treatment with the extra features.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than the original!
Review: My daughter wore out the original Toy Story tape and it won't play anymore. I thought there would be no way that the second one could be better, but I was wrong. The story is so great! Woody gets kidnapped from his yard and discovers he is an antique doll from his old TV show "Woody's Round-up". We meet his round-up gang which introduces us to new characters, Jesse and Stinky Pete.

Woody's pals, Buzz, Potato Head, Slinky and Ham are trying to get to Al's Toy Barn to rescue him. There are some great moments in the movie that only an adult would catch (the reflection of the dinosaur in the toy car mirror ripped right from "Jurassic Park") which will give you a chuckle.

Overall, a great story, some good tunes (Sarah Mclaughlan will make you cry) and lots of fun! Worth 5 stars.

Summary: Two Animated Landmarks for the price of one on DVD.
Review: Both " TS 1 & 2", are two of some of the newest standards in animated motion pictures, CGI animated features.

the original "TS" is a epic masterpiece which is fully known as the first Computer animated flick, after five years from stratch this movie was the highest grossing flick of 1995 and was a complete triumph for it's style and engrossing storyline. It tells the story of a Cowboy doll named " Woody" is seems to happy living with his owner " Andy" but then when "Andy" gets a birthday, he recieves a Spaceman action figure named " Buzz Lightyear" and "Woody" seems to worry that Andy might replace him with Buzz but now "Woody" with " Buzz" are now on a adventure that can change both of their lives.

then " Toy Story 2", a rich and fantastic sequel became one of 1999's Biggest hits and another triumph for the Pixar Company. The story continues as " Woody" is kidnapped by a greedy Toy owner who plans on selling him to a Toy Museum, now Buzz and friends must save him before he is history in a Museum. A rare and brilliant sequel that belongs in the category of great sequels along with the likes of " Empire Strikes Back", " Evil Dead II", " Dawn of the Dead", " Aliens", " Terminator 2", " The Road Warrior", " Blade II", " Scream 2" and other sequels that mean good.

If your a DVD and Disney Fan, buy these movies and be happy with both.

Summary: Toy Story 2
Review: We really loved this movie. Our 2 1/2 year old son just went wild over Buzz Lightyear. It was really cute. Toy Story 2 is really better suited for a really young audience because there is no scary bad guy. The mean boy Sid of Toy Story 1 was just a little too scary. We preferred this movie to the original.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than the first
Review: Toy story 2 fleshes out the charcter of Woody. Woody is kidnapped by a greedy toy collector who wants to put him in a museum with the rest of his round-up gang. Woody finds out he was part of a major children's puppet show (Like Howdy Doody) and that he is a very valuable doll. He meets Jessie who is part of his round-up gang. Jessie wants to go to the museum and hates being in storage.The rest of the round-up gang includes woody's horse Bullseye and the Prospector. Woody still holds loyalty to Andy.

In the meantime Andy's toys launch a daring rescue. They run into Barbie (Tour Guide Barbie). Of course Barbie is portrayed as a complete Airhead. The Round-uP gang convince Woody to join them. Andy is getting older and will out grow his toys. Jessie sings a beautiful song "When she loved me" about her child Emily. Emily outgrew Jessie and ended up giving her to charity. Of course Buzz and the Gang reach Woody.

Woody realizes he cannot stop Andy from growing up and he would not miss it for the world. The prospector tries to stop them. Eventually Woody goes back to Andy with Jessie and Bullseye.

This is a great story about loyalty and frienship. Most children animation shows are very violent. Toy Story 2, as well as the first movie, gives a possitive message to children and are a refreshing change of pace. Toy Story 2 shows that a Child is a toys entire universe and that they are crushed deaply when they are abandon. There are some children that do have an enotional attachment to their toys and do keep them into their adulthood. Some even pass their toys onto thier children. Toy story is a movie that can be enjoyed by both adults and children. The animation was fantastic. I like that "tongue in cheek" reference to Star Wars when Buzz confronted Emperor Zurge.
"You killed my father"
"Wrong, I am your father"
"No!!!"

Will there be a Toy Story 3?

Rating: 2 stars
