Summary: The Ultimate Way to Collect These Movies
Review: Toy Story, released in 1995, enters the world of toys when their owners aren't around. It centers on Woody, a cowboy, who is Andy's favorite toy. But when Andy gets Buzz Lightyear, a space ranger, Woody's place is jeopardized. Woody has to deal with his feelings of jealousy, especially when he and the delusional Buzz become lost toys.Toy Story 2 followed 4 years later and is the rare sequel that is at least as good as the original, if not better. This time, an evil toy collector has kidnapped Woody, and his head swells when he finds out how valuable he really is. Can Buzz and the other toys find him before he decides he doesn't want to return to Andy? Toy Story will forever have a place in cinema history as the first completely computer animated movie. But Pixar did a great job making sure it's a movie people will enjoy seeing years from now. The toys are sympathetic characters and the story is wonderful. The site gags and animation make it a treat for adults as well. Toy Story 2 works as well as it does because it builds on the base of the first movie to tell a second story. Pixar introduced new characters and a fresh story idea while still letting us see and enjoy to characters we loved from the first movie. And the animation has only gotten better over time. Yet the animation is there to tell a story, and the story telling and humor never lag. The Ultimate Toy Box is a must for collectors or anyone interested in the animation process. Not only are the two movies showcased well on their respective discs, but the extras are phenomenal. I have spent hours going through the third disc soaking up information and trivia. The features commentaries on the first two discs are a fascinating look into what really goes into making these movies. I learned so much from them alone. The two Toy Story movies will long be remember for being great films. Any film collector owes it to himself or herself to have both in their collection. And if you want to learn the most about these two movies, the people behind them, and what it took to make them, buy the Ultimate Toy Box. You will be entertained and educated for hours.

Summary: Outstanding
Review: When I bought the Toy Story 2 DVD for my 2 year old son, I never thought I would actually like it, but now I think I like it more than he does, even though he asks to see it constantly. My favorite part is the Jesse story, with the Sarah McLachlan song in the background, I actually got misty eyed the first time I saw it. This is the best animated movie I have ever seen, period.

Summary: A Fitting Conclusion For the Two-Part Series
Review: This second installment of the "Toy Story" saga is an improvement on the first one because the animation is better. The movements of the humans in the story are more fluid and natural and the story of friendship, loyalty, and deciding where one really belongs is one with which we can all identify.
We find little Andy Davis, his Mom, and little sister, Molly, comfortably settled into the house to which they moved in the original "Toy Story". Andy is a little older, and the physical appearance of the human characters has changed a little bit.
Happily, we see that Woody The Cowboy (voiced by Tom Hanks)still has a special place in Andy's heart despite his earlier displacement by the arrival of Buzz Lightyear. Andy still enjoys taking Woody to Cowboy Camp during the summer. But this time, the plans are altered by Woody's being slightly damaged.
At the same time, Andy's Mom decides to have a yard sale. When she takes Wheezy the Penguin down for the sale, Woody is stolen by a dishonest toy store owner as he attempts to save Wheezy.
As Andy's toys attempt to track down Woody's whereabouts before Andy returns from camp, Woody learns of his own history as the star of a 1950s children's show, and is greeted by an aggressive but friendly yodeling cowgirl named Jessie,voiced by Joan Cusack a prospector doll who has never been out of his box, voiced by a dour Kelsey Grammar, and an awkward but adorably sweet horse named Bullseye.
The seach through the toy store is funny, especially when tour Guide Barbie points out, in reference to the Buzz Lightyear dolls, how "in 1995,shortsighted retailers did not order enough dolls to meet demand". Presumably, that incident is based on real life.
There is a poignancy to this story when we learn that Jessie once had a home, and that she hasn't been owned by a child in more than 30 years. The story of Jessie's brief time with her owner is beautifully enacted through music.
Complications ensue during Buzz's rescue attempt on behalf of Woody, and the objectives of the members of Woody's Roundup Gang
begin to differ.
Eventually, all turns out well, and this story provides a morality tale about dishonesty when, instead of ending of with rare dolls to send to a museum in Japan, Al ends up with no Round-Up gang members at all, and the child whose heart might have been broken by Al's greed and dishonesty ends up with two new friends to play with.
It's fun to watch the toy ensemble at the end enjoying a musical number by Wheezy. All in all, it's a cleverly written story with great animation. A masterpiece from the crew of Pixar!

Summary: Not Worth The Money, Buy The Two-Disc Set
Review: Don't get me wrong, the movies are top-notch. The third disc has a lot of bonus features, however, none are very interesting. Buy the two-disc set instead and save yourself a lot of money!

Summary: Excellent and new
Review: I think that Toy Story 2 is actually better than Toy Story 1. I found it more exciting because of the new characters and the new storyline. Also the setting was expanded. There is the Al's Toy Barn, run by the greedy Al who collects toys like Woody! There is an awesome scene where the toys drive the cars! The toys are rendered beautifully. Obviously, tons of work is put into such a production. Kudos to Pixar.

Summary: Great combo.
Review: The movies are very entertaining, as long as you enjoy this sort of film. I think this set was worth it for the outtakes on TS2 alone.

Summary: As Great As the First One!
Review: Pixar knows what they're doing. They have created yet another unforgettable picture. Toy Story 2 - well, I want to say it's better than the first, but out of sentiment I can't. The script is hilarious to adults and children. You know, you'll laugh because you get the joke, then kids will laugh because you're laughing. It's a funny, touching and remarkable piece of work.

Summary: Much Better Than The First One
Review: Unlike Toy Story 1, which is boring and flat, Toy Story 2 has element of adventure and "guess what comes next" that Toy Story 1 doesn't have. The movie is about a group of toys who try to rescue their friend who is accidentally being taken by a toy collector. The toy being rescued are torn between come back with his friends or go to a better place in another country. It is fun to watch. Make you keep guessing till the end.

Summary: Outstanding animation
Review: This is perhaps Disney's best film yet, even managing to top the original, which is certainly a rare feat. Basically it's a children's film for adults, who'll love the many movie references ('Jurassic Park' and 'The Empire Strikes Back' to name but two) and the jokes that go over the kids' heads. Thankfully though, the film also delivers to the kids though too, with plenty of visual jokes as well. There's not one annoying character, each one drawn sympathetically and realistically to help the audience completely forget that they're only watching an animated film. The new characters are great too - especially Jessie (Joan Allen), Stinky Pete (Kelsey Grammer) and Mrs Potato Head. More importantly though, 'Toy Story 2' grips its audience with some stunning action pieces (with the camera moving as if Woody and co. were real) and real poignancy. I can think of countless children's films that have been spoiled by an overly schmaltzy ending, but this is genuinely heart-warming, with the story of children outgrowing their toys being startlingly close to children outgrowing their parents. Wisely picking Sarah McLachlan to sing the theme 'When She Loved Me', with her achingly sad vocals, works well. Quite frankly, this is a movie that crosses all boundaries as well as all expectations. One to be watched.
