Love the plot!
April 8, 2019
I love the whole trilogy, and all three are available to own on streaming (probably because 4 is coming out this summer in theaters). Anyway, in 2, you get a little more background about Woody. We know that Buzz was made in 1995 (because that's when the movie came out), but also because Tour Guide Barbie gives a little trivia info about it when they're in Al's Toy Barn in the Buzz Lightyear aisle. Everyone knows the toys like Mr. Potato Head is a classic toy, along with etch-a-sketch, Barbie, and the little bucket of soldiers (those were around decades before the movie, and are toys that are independent of Disney and the Toy Story franchise)... but Woody and Buzz were characters made specifically for the movie, so it was nice to get a little bit of fan-fiction about Woody. His character bio is that he's been in the family for years (presumably as Andy's dad's toy because he is a toy from the 1950s, definitely before Sputnik happened). You also realize his character bio makes him a "classic toy" even in the first movie anyway, because he has a pull-string to talk instead of the modern push-button talk like Buzz has. In 2, Woody is a classic toy from a black-and-white 1950's era kids show called Woody's Roundup Gang. He's worth a lot of money because they just don't make 'em like they used to (so true in real life too!) - his face was hand-painted, he has actual stitching on his clothes, his clothes were made from vinyl and polyester, etc. (whereas there's a whole aisle of factory mass produced Buzz and Barbies). This makes Woody a collector's item and worth a lot of money, so much money that a toy store owner steals him to sell to a toy museum in Japan. The plot is very believable because all you have to do is go on Amazon or eBay to see how some toys that are no longer sold by retailers are being sold now - like even the Disney Woody doll that was only $20 when it came out, now sellers are trying to resell these same products for like $75. So it made me enjoy the movie even more because the first one was kind of ridiculous for older kids (I was already 13 in 1995), but I can definitely believe a real-life scenario where someone would steal a collector's item from a yard sale to cash in on a big pay day.

Didn’t receive Special Edition
December 19, 2018
I was supposed to receive a Special Edition DVD which I purchased as Cmas gift for my grandson but the DVD I received was just the basic DVD. I don’t have enough time to return it now and receive the proper item so I’m really disappointed.

I love Toy story movies, my son does too, I grew up watching Toy Story 1, 2 and 3, now I'm showing my kids about these. After reading the Story of Steve jobs and other books related to Pixar I look at the movies in a different way. I have been moving away from DVDs for a while now and almost everything I buy now is streamed, either from Amazon, Itunes or Microsoft entrainment.
Amazon Prime movies are pretty good but their queue sucks, their watchlist is kinda confusing, they need a better movie queue, similar to the one Hulu has.

The Toy Story movies age so well and has been a mainstay in my family for years. They simply do not disappoint.

My son loves this movie, and it's a LOT nicer having it as a download from Amazon Video than in DVD form, since this is at least the 4th time I've purchased this movie in the past 2 years. My four-year-old is rough on his DVDs, but now, we don't have to worry about a movie that MUST be viewed NOW being completely unwatchable. Love the convenience!

Of course, this is an amazing follow-up film. We love it. The Toy Story Series is the epitome of excellent childhood entertainment. There are plenty of life lessons included in the fun. My one concern, with this series and so many wonderful films for children, is that there are cheap bathroom-type jokes included (farts and burps kind of things). It's not the worst thing in the world but it really IS unnecessary and "ever-so-slightly" taints perfection.

Great movie just wish it was cheaper

Although I have the BluRay disc of all three Toy Story movies, I purchased for download to iPad to keep myself sane during a 17 hour flight to South America. I love this "trilogy" and can watch it over and over again. So, it did the job during the trip. I'm glad that I can now watch it anytime I have time to kill waiting for something.

I'm biased as I have been an avid Toy Story fan since my youth and now that my toddler enjoys the trilogy I get to relive these wonderful moments with him through the awesome humor and child friendly story line that keeps adults engaged and not ripping out their hair when watching it over and over! That's pretty hard to accomplish with any kids movie in my opinion and Pixar always does a wonderful job. In my
Opinion that is. Enjoy!

We love this movie! My 3 year old has been obsessed with Buzz and Woody since he saw the first movie, pretty sure we watched the second on repeat the entire first day after we purchased it.
