Toy 2 is colorful and funny, and the computer-animation from Pixar Animation Studios creates a convincingly detailed environment for the toys.

It’s a masterpiece, as all the TS movies are, one full of stark wisdom, deep heart and manic whimsy.

... actually livelier and funnier than the original "Toy Story," filled with clever pop culture in-jokes and spirited parodies for the grown-ups as it explores issues of identity and loyalty among toys.
