Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Toy Story 2
In this amazing sequel to Toy Story, Woody is kidnapped by a toy collecter, who wants to send him to Japan. Meanwhile, Buzz forms a rescue party to go and save him. Woody, though, doesn't want to be saved, because he's having fun with his new friends. They are the part of the Woody's collection. It seems Woody was the star of a cancelled 50's television series called "Woody's Roundup." Now, he must decide decide whether to go home, or stay with his friends. This film actually is better then the first film in many ways. It's got more action, humour, and Wayne Knight stands out as Woody's kidnapper.
--Estefan Ellison, Resident Scholar

Woody and Buzz are back in Toy Story 2. When Woody is kidnapped it's up to Buzz and the rest of the boys to rescue him, but when Woody learns he's a collector's item from an old TV show called Woody's Roundup, he contemplates staying with his new found friends. Just as good as the original Toy Story!
--Alan, Resident Scholar
