Four years in the making, this sequel to 1995's Toy Story is a more mature, more ambitious affair.
The plot:
A toy collector steals Woody from a yard sale, knowing something that Andy and his mom clearly do not: the cowboy toy is actually valuable, being the only piece missing from his collection associated to an old TV show and, with Woody now procured, he is set to make a mint.
But Andy's toys are having none of it, and set off on a quest to rescue their friend from the thieving collector's clutches.
With more thrills and spills than the original, and the blessed relief of only one fucking song, this seems altogether more accomplished.
Laugh out loud funny at times, even for adults, the creators chuck plenty of entertainment at the screen, including some knowing nods for movie buffs, my personal favourite being the Jurassic Park reference as Rex chases the toy car.
With a great plot, a cast of characters you can't help but like and an excellent script, this can't help but entertain.
