Originally aired in December 2012. Doug takes a look at Toy Story 2.

Fun Fact: Toy Story 2 was originally supposed to be a direct-to-DVD sequel commissioned by Disney. This would later cause some conflict regarding their original agreement, but what was immediately difficult for Pixar was that Disney saw what they were doing it and decided to make it a theatrical movie... which Pixar themselves thought it wasn't good enough for theaters and wanted a rewrite. Disney, however, wouldn't give them the proper amount of time for that sort of thing, so basically this movie ended up being rushed to meet their own standards, with a lot of animators basically throwing in their own scenes to fill out time. Knowing that, it's actually quite amazing that this movie is not only as good as it is, but managed to be just as good, if not better than the first movie!

Jessies backstory is the most emotional Disney moment imo, apart from maybe toy story 3s ending. Those get me every time!

When people say "Good sequels don't exist" show them this movie.

“I’ll never give in! You killed my father!”

“No, Buzz... I am your father!”

[crumdogy]

Gosh dangit, that song always makes me choke up..

I could not stop watching this masterpiece when I was a child. Replay after replay, after replay, after bloody replay. I loved it back then and I still love it today.

This one's the *best* _Toy Story_ movie, in my opinion.

(Sure, we haven't seen the 4th one yet, but I doubt it'd be better than the 2nd)

[JaceGem]

Did you HAVE to pick THAT particular song for background, Doug... Are you trying to break people's tear ducts...

[tentavision]

Toy Story 2 has always been my favorite.

[MasterJunior]

this movie prepares us for what we all have to do: grow up.

[sirMAXX]

Omg that scene with Jessie being left on the road side, I cried so much.

[dinodare]

You know why Toy Story has good sequels?
Because Toy Story was actually DESIGNED with sequels in mind, or at least with a premise that can go into other stories!

I was watching this on VHS while the news was broadcasting 9/11.

This is one of the first movies that made me cry as a kid, all because of that montage of Jessie and Emily >.< And that song ;-;

"Toy Story 2" is another favorite Pixar Animated Film that I love and it was perfect. The second one reflect with dramatic moments and turn into a quiet moment of letting go with your owners and then more exciting scenes where the toys came here to the rescue with fun and awesome. The song makes me sad that it's so good and very touchy. One of the best Randy Newman's songs of all time. Much the first one, the movie makes me cheer with fun toys and reminding me as my childhood of playing them. Great sequel to a great movie.

[KatieCochran]

I agree. I think this was better than the first as well.

[MissFlow]

Randy Newman or not, you know it's a powerfull song when it made Tom Hanks and Tim Allen cry during first time played.

[HeidiGriffin]

This is my favorite Pixar movie! Jessie was always my favorite when I was growing up. Also the song that plays during the scene where we see Jessie's story makes me cry every time, so THANK YOU FOR PUTTING IT IN THE BACKGROUND! I'm now a puddle of tears. :'(

[queenlele]

I love when the sequel is even better than original.
