Toy Story 2
A Movie Review |
|
 |
I never saw "Toy Story" in the
theaters. Finally, I think it was over Christmas a couple of
years ago I saw it while visiting my sister. The computer
geek in me was fascinated by the animation, the kid in me
loved the story, and the adult in me loved the hidden jokes
set for adults but laughed at by children for a different
reason. Happily, oh so happily, the Toy Story people did it
again, even better I think, in the likes of "Toy Story 2."
We've got most of the same cast of characters in "Toy
Story 2." This time the story revolves around Woody being
"kidnapped" by an evil toy collector, ready to sell him off
to an Asian museum. Buzz and the rest of the gang set out to
rescue their friend while Andy is off at camp. Woody,
though, has found a life he didn't know he had, as a toy
hero, thanks to the likes of Jessie. While his friends are
having their adventures finding Woody, Jessie opens Woody's
eyes to the fact that one day Andy won't play with him
anymore. She's been locked up in a box for low these many
years and is looking forward to being a display item, and
works to convince Woody that rather than face the harsh
reality of Andy eventually putting Woody aside. But it is
Woody who opens her eyes, how it would be better to be a toy
that is played with for one more day than on display.
Sure, there is more than that, but come on, do I need to
explain it. Graphics-wise "Toy Story 2" is even better than
the first, adding just phenomenal things like dust and a
great scene of cheese curl eating, but what keeps "Toy Story
2" a step above the first is that they were able to make a
story that is even more fun that the first. This time we get
funny lines geared at the "Star Wars'" films, we get the
same adult humor that makes the kids laugh for a different
reason, and we get just one of the most enjoyable movies out
there.
I'll keep this short and just say go see "Toy Story 2."
Another great story. Another great movie for kids and
adults. Another story that makes you wonder exactly what
your toys would say if they could talk. And this time a
story that might make you wonder what happened to that
favorite toy you gave away, kinda sad you tore apart your
Stretch Armstrong to see what was inside, or bit the toes
off of your Barbie. It's 5 stars out of 5!
That's it for this one! I'm The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!! |
