"Toy Story 2" returns and even takes up a notch, with such life-like renderings that within minutes the play-time world of Andy's bedroom becomes your own reality for the length of the picture.

"Toy Story 2" is a both a genuinely emotional parable about outgrowing childhood and a rescue mission that kicks into gear after Woody (voice of Tom Hanks) is stolen by a greedy toy collector while trying to save another of Andy's toys from a garage sale.

Naturally, the space hero Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) organizes a search and rescue to retrieve his good buddy and soon Mr. Potato Head (Don Rickles), Slinky Dog (Jim Varney), Rex (Wallace Shawn) the insecure toy tyrannosaurus, and Hamm (John Ratzenberger), set out across town in search of their leader.

Part of the delight of this sequel its bottomless pit of delightful wit. Along the way to rescue Woody, the gang went through wild adventures. They cross a major thoroughfare hiding inside traffic cones (and causing several accidents). They recruit help inside a giant toy store, where they are momentarily distracted by a gaggle of partying Barbies and have a run-in with Buzz's nemesis, the nefarious galactic Emperor Zurg (voiced by Andrew Stanton).

The story is sharp and quick, jam-packed with great humor and hilarious homages to old westerns. As the gang forges ahead on their crusade, Woody is busy discovering he's a major collectors' item. At the collector's apartment, he meets his TV companions, Bullseye, his trusty, cuddly steed; Stinky Pete (Kelsey Grammar) and Jessie (Joan Cusack), a cowgirl doll who tries to talk Woody into staying. Through an honestly heartbreaking flashback, Jessie warns Woody that he will someday be discarded, just as she was when her owner grew up, and she almost convinces him that the cushy, pampered life of a museum piece is better than being part of a child's life.
