Personally I enjoyed Toy Story, watched it with the kids. great. This sequel is the only sequel I can ever remember which is actually better than the original film. Why? Well the adult-orientated humour is more prominent in this one, which keeps it interesting for mum and dad. I'ts also got brilliant special effects - not really surpassed even in later movies I'd say. Great action sequences - rescuing Woody from his predicament gives us a great, ...
...of Al McWhiggen, and evil toy collector, and then you have all the elements for a classic children' adventure. So Buzz Lightyear leads the toys in setting off to rescue Woody. All the great actors of Toy Story one are back doing the voices - Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Kelsey Grammer, Don Rickles, Jim Varney ... The quality of the acting combined with the animation makes this a near perfect film,. Yes, really. it's just a joy. Like when ... Read review

Advantages: A good family film
Disadvantages: none

After watching the first Toy story a million times, thanks to my son, there was no way I was going to miss out on the second one. So, on my son's birthday I asked him what he wanted, his reply, Woody 2. No sooner said than done, off to the local supermarket and bought said video. We bought some munchies and along with his older sister we sat down to watch it. I have to admit I am a little worried when it comes to sequals. They usually just keep ...

Advantages: Its got the two films and four excellent discs.
Disadvantages: none

...lost my previous release of Toy Story and Toy Story 2 3 disc box set i was happy to find this new 4 disc release in the dvd charts for £19.96 in Tesco. This is a special edition so i'm guessing it won't be available after a short while. I appologise for the lengthy review but there are many excellent features i feel they deserve a mention! #History Disney is a well established company but very little is known about Pixar. It started in 1984 when ...
...really hard to believe that Toy Story is 10 years old. First released in 1995 it was the first fully computerised animation to hit the big screens and was the highest grossing film of 1995 raking in $362 million worldwide. It won 2 Golden Globe awards and was eventually released on video in 1996. There was nothing like this film at the time but other sucessfull films quickly followed, such as "Bugs Life" and "Monster's Inc". Other companies jumped ... Read review

...WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PIXAR FILMS EVER MADE - BUT THAT DIDN'T STOP IT BEING A GREAT FAMILY MOVIE.

Advantages: The animals.
Disadvantages: Plot holes galore.

...like Alex Rover and as Nim's father. Bad things start to happen at the island and Nim reaches out for help to the one person she believes is a hero. The storyline was dissapointing and the plot holes were enormous, there were a few humorous scenes but that was all. Gerard Butler was okay but you wouldn't really cast him in a scientists role. My favorite character was Alexandra and I liked the idea of her being an agraphobic and having to beat all ... Read review
