"Toy Story 2" is a masterpiece on every level - on its own terms, it is one of the finest films I have ever seen.

In 1995 a 30m dollar Disney CGI animated movie came out, and blew away movie-goers everywhere. That little movie became a huge movie which grossed little less than 200m, that movie was "Toy Story".
