the toys behind to fend for themselves. In much the same way Buzz discovered he is a mass-produced product in the first instalment, Woody discovers that he is a valuable collectible spawned by a popular 1950s kiddie-puppet TV show, 'Woody's Roundup Gang' when he is kidnapped by an evil toy collector, Al McWhiggin. Through Al, who plans to sell him to a Japanese toy museum, Woody is reunited with the toy versions of his TV cohorts plucky cowgirl Jessie (Cusack), prospector Stinky Pete (Grammer), and trusty horse Bullseye. Woody must choose between seeing Andy grow up and forsake him and living a sterile but eternal life behind glass being admired but not played with. Meanwhile, the rest of the original toy troupe undergoes a thrilling crosstown adventure to locate their kidnapped friend and restore him his rightful owner. Extremely entertaining, surprisingly touching, endlessly thrilling eye candy for anyone of any age. Golden Globe Winner: Best Motion Picture Musical or Comedy.n

...When they released the original Toy Story they had no idea what a success the film would be. It took the world by storm, and it's a wonder it happened at all, Disney shut production down after a terrible screening and all was lost, however they were convinced to continue and the film became the biggest film of 1995. Toy story changed the face of family entertainment. It was the first full feature length animated films and it dazzled audiences and ... ...to continue production of the Toy Story project was a slightly younger John Lasseter, the director who four years later directed the sequel - Toy Story 2.
The story is epic and had to be modified in order to make it more cinematic in scope in order to show it at the theatres as originally the film was to be released straight to video. Thankfully the film benifits from the reworking and is much moreexciting for it. Set a year or so after the oriiginal ...
