[ dead link] Comparing still frames from two Toy Story 2 DVDs yields little difference, even when viewing at full resolution. With full-motion video, however, the new Special Edition DVD narrowly edges out the old transfer in the quest for absolute digital perfection. The subtle improvements are most evident on large screen televisions and displays.

Secondary characters in Woody's set were inspired by 1940s–1950s Western and puppet shows for children, such as Four Feather Falls, Hopalong Cassidy and Howdy Doody. [16] [17] The development of Jessie was kindled by Lasseter's wife Nancy, who pressed him to include a strong female character in the sequel, one with more substance than Bo Peep. [16] The scope for the original Toy Story was basic and only extended over two residential homes, roadways, and a chain restaurant, whereas Toy Story 2 has been described by Unkrich as something "all over the map". [12] What ensues is a rescue mission. With Andy spending the week at summer camp, Buzz leads Rex, Hamm, Mr. Potato Head, and Slinky through the dangers of the outside world to locate and save their missing friend. Their journey is marked by adventure, from a frightening highway crossing to a trip inside an elevator shaft, not to mention encounters with the Evil Emperor Zurg (voiced by Pixar writer Andrew Stanton), Tour Guide Barbie ( The Little Mermaid's Jodi Benson), and a shelf filled with other Buzz Lightyears at Al's Toy Barn.

the featurettes "Why a Sequel?" (2:38) and "The Continuing World of Toy Story" (4:38), though some footage from these makes it into the new "Making Toy Story 2" featurette Lasseter's intention with a sequel was to respect the original Toy Story film and create that world again. [12] The story originated with him wondering what a toy would find upsetting, how a toy would feel if it were not played with by a child or, worse, a child growing out of a toy. [13] Brannon suggested the idea of a yard sale where the collector recognizes Woody as a rare artifact. [16] The concept of Woody as a collectible set came from the draft story of A Tin Toy Christmas, an original half-hour special pitched by Pixar to Disney in 1990. The obsessive toy collector named Al McWhiggin, who had appeared in a draft of Toy Story but was later expunged, was inserted into the film. [13] Lasseter claimed that Al was inspired by himself.

As on the Ultimate Toy Box, two short deleted scenes and a shorter contextual introduction (0:47) by co-director Ash Brannon are included here. With a mix of storyboards and unfinished animation, the first, "Godzilla Rex" (1:28), offers an overly coincidental way to make Woody a part of the yard sale. The second, "Crossing the Road" (1:56), contains mostly finished computer animation, which makes sense since it is much like the dangerous cones-in-traffic scene in the film, only here it is set in the suburbs. Both scenes are presented in non-anamorphic widescreen and two-channel stereo.

First is a storyboard pitch of "Woody's Nightmare" thrown to the directors and creative crew by Pixar's late story man Joe Ranft. With the "angle" button, you can view this either with the storyboards in a window and Ranft in his audience filling the screen, or simply with Ranft's narration over the screen-filling storyboards. Second, there is a story reel for the "Jessie's Song" sequence, which you also watch in two ways: as a split-screen storyboards-to-film comparison or as simply the storyboards. Either way, you get the final sound mix of the film. Together, with the skippable pre-existing introductions by Ranft and story supervisor Dan Jeup, these two features run 7 minutes. Outstanding Individual Achievement for Voice Acting by a Female Performer in an Animated Feature Production Next is "Who's The Coolest Toy?" (3:15), a brief but diverting featurette that is ported over from the Ultimate Toy Box. It delivers comments from the cast and crew (even musical performers like Sarah McLachlan and Riders in the Sky) over which of Andy's toys is, well, the coolest. It's interesting and humorous to hear what everyone thinks of the characters and the piece includes some especially comedic banter between Tom Hanks and Tim Allen.

When Toy Story 2 opens, one can assume that as much time has passed in the movie's world as it did in real life. Andy (voiced by John Davis), the owner of the central toys, is a few years older but still very playful. The same can be said of his toys, when he is not around, at least. The passing of years seems to have mostly calmed the feelings of rivalry among the figures and assorted playthings, especially between Andy's two favorite toys, pull-string cowboy Woody (Tom Hanks) and high-tech space ranger Buzz Lightyear, whose competitive relationship largely drove the first film. Still, the threat of being removed from the comforts of Andy's light blue bedroom definitely looms. It is this very threat, by way of an unexpected yard sale that Andy's mother (Laurie Metcalf), which sets things in motion. a b c d "Toy Story 2 (1999)". Box Office Mojo.
