Dean E My absolute favourite childhood movie. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/12/24 Full Review Nick R It's rare to have a sequel that stands tall as a perfect follow-up to the original and improves upon it in every way, exactly what a sequel should do. But it's even more rare when the original was already so good to begin with. 'Toy Story 2' delivers massively by expanding on the characters' worlds, all while developing their character arcs even further. And as always, the voice cast, new characters, and animation are just incredible. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/02/24 Full Review Dane D A perfect sequel to a near-perfect classic. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/30/24 Full Review Fabrícia F Meu filme favorito da saga, sem dúvida possui elementos cativantes e extremamente engraçados para ser um merecido clássico cult. Obra prima. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/21/24 Full Review TROY S This film is stunning, witty, exciting, enchanting, and very moving, and amazingly, it's just as good as the sensationally entertaining original. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/17/24 Full Review Sams K A true masterpiece, one of Pixar finest works. Great and entertaining. The Woody repairing scene is stunning.
