Toy Story 2 was as successful as the first Toy Story film commercially. It became 1999's highest-grossing animated film, earning $245.9 million in the United States and Canada and $511.3 million worldwide—beating both Pixar's previous releases by a significant margin. It became the third-highest-grossing animated film of all time (behind The Lion King and Aladdin). Toy Story 2 opened over the Thanksgiving Day weekend at No. 1 ahead of The World Is Not Enough, End of Days and Sleepy Hollow, collecting a three-day tally of $57.4 million from 3,236 theaters, averaging $17,734 per theater over three days, as well as making $80.1 million since its Wednesday launch and staying at the top for the…

neutral · AI labelView post →Twenty five years ago today, Toy Story 2 was released. The first sequel released by Pixar, this film continued the first film so perfectly with a suspenseful and hilarious story, gorgeous computer animation, and fleshing out the characters with some fun new ones.
positive · AI labelView post →It took me an embarrassingly long time to realise that the bloopers in Toy Story 2 had been deliberately animated like the rest of the film and weren't an indication that the characters were sort of real.

neutral · AI labelView post →En 1999, Toy Story 2 sort sur les écrans... ce qui a failli ne jamais arriver. En 1998, le staff de Pixar bosse dur. La production du film est dans la dernière ligne droite. Forcément, pour que tout avance bien, les ordis de chacun sont reliés par réseau.

neutral · AI labelView post →I have a strange/strained relationship with Pixar nowadays. I watched their films growing up and do like them, especially the early ones like Monsters Inc/Toy Story 2, but more and more I have no desire to rewatch them and my top ten favorite animated movies list doesn't contain a single Pixar film.
neutral · AI labelView post →With Toy Story 5 coming out next week, here are some of the color scripts for Toy Story 2 drawn by Jim Pearson back when the film was envisioned as a direct-to-video release before it was upgraded to theaters. It's interesting to see knowing how a lot of it really changed.
neutral · AI labelView post →Interesting tidbit about Toy Story 2, among the numerous animators for the film who would later go on to board projects for other studios is Kyle Balda (director of the first two Minions movies and The Sheep Detectives), who actually animated the "Reach for the Sky" shot with Woody and Buster!
neutral · AI labelView post →This is true. The entire animated film got deleted. The only reason Toy Story 2 happened is an employee named Galyn Susman, who was on maternity leave. She had set up a system that copied the production’s database so she could work on it from home.

neutral · AI labelView post →Saw Toy Story 5. It was a very competent film. Glad they finally got around to writing an ending to Toy Story 2. Smarty Pants was pretty funny. Also Woody is in this
positive · AI labelView post →A Bug's Life is Andrew Stanton's movie. Toy Story 2 is Lee Unkrich and Ash Brannon's movie. Cars is the late Joe Ranft's movie. While we shouldn't ignore John Lasseter's contributions at Pixar, he's not the visionary we should be commending.
neutral · AI labelView post →Maybe this is a hot take, but I don’t like that Toy Story 5 fully shows Emily’s face. I understand why they’ve done it and I’m sure that part of the movie will be the highlight. But the “When Somebody Loved Me” scene from Toy Story 2 works so well because of how little we actually see of her.
positive · AI labelView post →Whenever someone says "Movie Magic" I think of 4 scenes first. 1. Woody and Buzz flying in Toy Story. 2. The Wizard of Oz going from Black & White to Color. 3. Yoda lifting the X-Wing in The Empire Strikes Back. 4. This scene right here. You can't beat Spielberg and Williams at their peak.

neutral · AI labelView post →I honestly don't mind Gavin Newsom's positions. But I still wish he would quit politics just so he could go back to what he's good at: writing the soundtracks to Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3, Toy Story 4 and the film that closed Pixar's beloved Story franchise: Noah Baumbach's Marriage Story.

positive · AI labelView post →This is my underlying problem with Toy Story 3 onwards: they seem increasingly marketed to adults who want to feel sad rather than kids who want to have fun. Toy Story 2 is a masterpiece - a zen kids movie about accepting the inevitable end of love/life that doesn't ever forget it's a comedy.
positive · AI labelView post →TOY STORY 2 is the best Pixar movie, this is not a discussion
positive · AI labelView post →Just saw someone say Toy Story 3 is the perfect movie and that they didn’t like Toy Story 2. I mean you’re entitled to your opinion. It’s wrong though.
positive · AI labelView post →It being the peerless Joan Cusack’s birthday, I almost posted her telling Melanie Griffith: “Sometimes I sing and dance around the house in my underwear. Doesn't make me Madonna.” Or something from Toy Story 2. But let’s go with this since she steals the entire movie. youtu.be/0yYUlLFlw1I?...
neutral · AI labelView post →It's kinda incredible how the video game adaptation of Toy Story 2 turned out so good when you know the development cycle of licensed movie games like this are sensitively tied to their theatrical releases timing-wise, and the production of the film itself was famously a mess.

neutral · AI labelView post →Unfortunately, the specific cut of Toy Story 2 recovered by Susman was the direct-to-video version Pixar completely scrapped when Disney upgraded the film to a theatrical release - meaning it got wiped from existence for good anyways.
neutral · AI labelView post →1999 was a really good year for animation. Iron Giant, Toy Story 2, Disney's Tarzan and Southpark: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut all released that year. But by far, the best movie, animated or otherwise, to come out in 1999 is Satoshi Kon's magnum opus.
neutral · AI labelView post →During the production of Toy Story 2, one of the Pixar employees accidentally deleted the files for the movie from the servers. Thankfully, Galyn Susman, the film's technical director, was working from home to care for her newborn son and she had the files backed up on her home computer.

neutral · AI labelView post →Couple things when rewatching Toy Story 2 • It’s so god forsaken insane that the movie we have today was made in only 9 months mainly bc the team wasn’t happy with the first version and Disney refused to push the deadline. And this doesn’t even count the fact that the OG draft nearly got deleted.

neutral · AI labelView post →It was fully expected that if we went on to be film editors we’d assemble a rough cut on video so we knew exactly where and how to cut and glue the physical film rolls, and that this was unlikely to change in our working lifetime. Then at the end of my second year Toy Story 2 came out

neutral · AI labelView post →I love a lot of the big ones: Force Unleashed, Shredder's Revenge, a bunch of the Spider-Man stuff... But if we're talking straight up movie tie-in, then it has to be Toy Story 2 for the PS1. That game is one of the best platformers of its generation and I'm not even kidding.
positive · AI labelView post →This was the original direct-to-video version of Toy Story 2 that was scrapped shortly afterwards when the higher-ups at Pixar decided the film deserved a proper theatrical release. They had only nine months to put together what would become one of the best sequels ever made...

neutral · AI labelView post →Case in point, Toy Story 2. A massive overhaul in production after originally being commissioned as a 60-minute direct-to-video sequel. Pixar completely scrapped and rebuilt the entire movie from scratch with nine months remaining to meet the scheduled release date.
neutral · AI labelView post →The best Pixar movies aren't just for wee ones; Fare like Toy Story 2, Monsters Inc, or Up have a profound, parable-like quality which makes them work for grown-ups too. Their latest, Elio, isn't aiming for such heights; it's a simple, zesty adventure for kids. 3/5 film-authority.com/2025/06/17/e...

neutral · AI labelView post →Incidentally, Toy Story 2 was also hit by near-catastrophe. Mid-production, an animator accidentally deleted 90% of the film. Luckily, Technical Director Galyn Susman had a copy of the film at home while on maternity leave, preventing the loss of 2 years' work. 9/22
