Summary: Excellent Movies, but...
Review: I truly love both of the Toy Story movies. I was apprehensive when I first saw the first movie as it had been quite a while since I had sat through an animated film. However, Pixar did a terrific job on both of these movies. The animation and general picture quality on these disks are probably the best I've seen on DVD yet. The sound, THX qualified by the way, is superb as well. However, I'm still kicking myself for getting the Toy Story 2 Pack instead of the Ultimate Toy Box (the 3 disk set). I thought at the time that I would go the cheaper route and get the 2 disk set. But, with the exception of a short 5 minute film on each disk there are NO EXTRAS on these disks. Since I bought these disks I've read about the bountiful extras that are entertaining and inciteful that come with the Ultimate Toy Box. In my opinion, this is downright unjust that Disney released such a barebones copy of these excellent movies. I still regret that I bought the wrong version, so if a prospective buyer wants the extra stuff, take my advise and buy the better set. However, if you just want a simple copy of the movie then this set is adequate.

Summary: Not As Good As The First
Review: Toy Story 2 has got the most amazing special effects and animation that i have seen, its just a shame that the story was a bit dodgy. I liked the idea of introducing new characters like Jessie but i didnt like the role reversale with Buzzlightyear having to save Woody. Mrs Potatoe Head is Funny, Jessie is pretty good, but i think the little green aliens steal the show. (you saved our lives we are eternily grateful) If you saw the first then you are going to have to see this one. I have the first and the second as these dvds are worth having in your collection

Summary: SHINY THINGS
Review: I won't waste your time with a listing of all the features that are presented in this 3 disc box set, you can read them for yourself above, but what I can tell you about them you won't find listed above, is that... this box set from PIXAR/DISNEY is a box and bundle of outright fun. From the witty, funny and energetic commentary from the creators of both films (who get so excited about what they're seeing on the screen you can't help but get caught up in the mood and get carried away as well), to so many extra's that the thrid disc alone runs nearly five hours - this box set is right now one of the best out there on the market. The only thing that comes close is the DISNEY FANTASIA ANOTHOLOGY box set - and it's neck and neck from then on. If you're a fan of either movie then you will find a direct digital transfer of each film, perfect sound (try the audio effects only track, which drops the dialouge in favor of foley - amazing), crisp color, and all presented in widescreen. It comes in a shiny silver box with a cell art quality dust jacket, and just keeps getting better and better. TOY STORY THE ULTIMATE BOX SET is more than just a collection of DVD's but a true collectors item. I can not recommend this title enough - buy it.

Summary: Great sequel to the first Toy Story
Review: These movies posses a sense of warmth and individuality that most cartoons lack. This a great dvd box set to add to your collection. Not only both movies stand funny and worth owning, the storyline links the series in a realistic manner. I wish there was more editorial content on how this movies was made. Great set overall that is sure to please both adults and kids alike.

Summary: Top toons and two Tiny Toy Stories too
Review: Enough superlatives have already been aimed at the first movie, so I'm only going to address the second movie and the extras on the 2-disk set.Toy Story 2 is a really good movie which explains to me exactly why it's a Good Thing that inanimate objects are not conscious. It's a -very- positive movie about loyalty and persistance, with some interesting plot twists. What really threw me is that each disk has a Tiny Toy Story on it. The first disk has "Tin Toy" with its first publicly shown attempt at rendering a human baby by CGI (I really think this baby grew up to be Sid. Hm, 1988 to 1995? Could be. Maybe that's why they put this Story here). The second disk contains the definitive Story, "Luxo Jr.". While somewhat disappointed that the rest of the Stories weren't on either the 2 or the 3 disk set, as far as I know, these selections are perfectly good. "Luxo Jr." is an amazing little story, as well as an Academy Award nominee and a technical advance for its debut year of 1986 when it was presented at the ACM SIGCHI/SIGGraph convention. Still, when do we get Red's Dream (1987), and "KnickKnack" (1989) with the cool sound track, on DVD? I'd buy that. The VHS versions are, well... VHS. What else to say? Also, it'd be nice to see the post-Toy Story chess one. Feel free to leave "The Adventures of André & Wally B." off, though. :-)

Summary: Jewel in the crown of the Disney franchise...
Review: The Toy Stroy movies are not just for kids. Don't get me wrong, kids will absolutely love them. But these are movies that adults will be equally enthralled watching. The animation is 100% faultless. The attention to details is exquisite. And hats off to Disney for bundling these 2 movies together in a wonderful DVD box set which contains Hilarious deleted scenes. Deserved of all the acclaim both of these movies have recieved.

Summary: Friendship has never been so funny...
Review: A delightful pack of animation from Pixar Studios, Toy Story & Toy Story 2 are the second best american animations I have ever seen, the first being A Bug's Life (also from Pixar). Using the ability to change and move in a world free of physical restraints, these two animations do an excellent job of creating a unique and hillarious story line that revolves around friendship and the pondering question of whether toys have control over their own actions. With the voices of Tom Hanks (Big, Sleepless in Seattle, Saving Private Ryan) and Tim Allen (Home Improvement, Santa Clause) adding an air of liveliness that doesn't seem possible for men their ages. They both prove that they are still children at heart as they liven the screen with their vibrant and cheerful voices. Toy Story & Toy Story are based around the meaning of friendship and the journeys that they will go through just to help one. Both are excellent videos for children and adults and will have you laughing when necessary. The DVDs are crisp and clean, better than watching it at the theatre even, and have some Special Features, which aren't necessary because the movies are worth it by themselves, that will have you laughing even more and wonder what the graphic artists and writers do in their free time.

Summary: To Inestimablility and Beyond
Review: An visual ode to the power and wonder of youth, the Toy Story set represents the apex of the Disney genre. From the genuine magic of the orignal Toy Story to the pop culture pathos of Toy Story 2 to the man-behind-the-curtain tour of supplemental disc, The Ultimate Toy Box will disappoint no fan of affecting filmmaking. These are the films Walt Disney himself would have made. The Ultimate Toy Box is firmly anchored by the original Toy Story--a tale of unlikely friendship, self-discovery, and amazing toys that come to life. Woody the cowboy doll (voiced, in another terrific performance, by Tom Hanks) is the favored toy in Andy's room until the hi-tech Buzz ightyear (Tim Allen) crash-lands on Woody's spot on the bed. While Andy's other toys hang on Buzz's every word, Woody resents the attention given the Space Ranger. But when he and Buzz are trapped in the home of the evil toy-torturing neighbor Sid, Woody finds many of his views contradicted. Woody's plea for help from Sid's "cannibal" toys is the film's climax: "Please. He's my friend," says Woody of Buzz. One of the best car chases in movie history closes the movie. Toy Story 2 is the Godfather II of animated movies--a sequel that can stand next to the original. This is particularly pleasing after the direct-to-video debacles that are most Disney sequels. While not as magical as the orginal, Toy Story 2 succeeds in its own way, combinging more complex CG effects with tongue-in-cheek subtext. Finally, the supplemental disc provides a basckstage pass to the whole enterprise, from design to voicing to rendering, to even a set of "outtakes" from the films. Few films genuinely REQUIRE 480 resolution lines to enjoy them. Toy Story has to be viewed on DVD--VHS does it no justice. The Anamorphic Widescreen format is a vision on a 16x9 screen--I recommend no other screen format. You cannot own a DVD player and not have this set. It's really that simple.
