Toy Story 2 REACTION - I hate to admit it... but I kinda feel for Al in this one lol 

Fun fact: Al's voice-actor, Wayne Knight (a.k.a. Newman, a.k.a. Dennis Nedry, a.k.a. Tantor, a.k.a. Mr. Blik), would go on to voice Zurg on the _Buzz Lightyear_ animated series. Meanwhile, Zurg in this movie is voiced by Pixar staff member Andrew Stanton, who went on to write and direct _Finding Nemo_ and voice Crush the turtle in that film. Also, on the TV series, Buzz was voiced by Patrick Warburton, the voice of Kronk. Make of that what you will.

Bo Peep lives in the sister’s room across the hall but she just can’t stay away from her cowboy.

In answer to the origin of woody: There’s a story that goes that one of the film makers/ worked on the film of toy story before they passed told a fellow friend/ colleague their origin for woody. Supposedly he belonged to Andy’s father who was also called Andy. Woody was the only toy produced as a prototype for the woodys roundup show. Andys father loved cowboy crunchies and wrote a letter to the creators asking for a woody doll. Andys father therefore owned the only ever created version. As he got older he put woody in the attic for storage. After Andy was born, his dad became very sick and knew he was going to die. He passed along woody to his son so Andy would have something to remember his dad by. Since both the father and son were named “Andy” and woody had been in storage so long, he assumed that the Andy we know was the same boy as his father. That’s why he’s so protective of him because he feels he has been with him for so long. If I remember who it was that came up with this origin I’ll reply under here :)

I really like how Sid and Al are opposites as villains. They both love toys and are even willing to steal them without a hint of remorse, but that's where their similarities end. Sid is a little kid that wants to satiate his destructive desires (even on his sister's toys). His villainy is more chaotic. Al is an adult that sees the value in a toy (to the point of theft) and needs to keep everything preserved. His villainy is more pragmatic.

This is my favorite Toy Story. I loved hearing about Woody's famous backstory and how the new characters were included in the story just brings me joy.

One of my uncles was a huge collector of John Deere toys. He has since sold a lot of his collection now but if I remember correctly. He had every model of toy/ collectible up to the year 2003. It was insane to see! He had a small museum basically. They were all displayed beautifully!

There is a leading theory that Emily (Jessie's old owner) was Andy's mom. That's why she bought him Woody, because it reminded her of her own childhood.

Joan Cusack is the voice of Jessie 🙂

Summary. Woody's age is a recurring theme in the Toy Story franchise, as the pull-string doll has experienced wear and tear over time. In Toy Story 2, it is revealed that Woody was manufactured in the 1950s, making him 45 in the first movie and 59 in Toy Story 4. So, I imagine since the rest were made at the same time, they are probably about the same age. Jessie including.

One of the best sequels ever, I was laughing at most of the funny scenes lol. I also found it ironic how Buzz had to give Woody the same speech he was given to by him in the first movie.

Toy Story 3 is my favourite of the franchise! For a while I considered it my favourite movie of all time. I've since discovered other movies and it probably wouldn't crack the top 20 nowadays, but I've always had a soft spot for it. But yeah, it's great.

This is my favorite one, so much fun. I love the different lightning, and the detail. I miss this animation style. My cousin had a Woody doll when we were kids and one of my frenemies threw it on top of the roof. He stayed there for years.

I think of Bo Peep as a ceramic figure you have in a baby or toddlers room sort of as decor, up high so they don’t break it. Like a precious moments figure. Andy steals her to play the damsel in distress like how my brothers would steal my Barbies to pretend they were their GI joes gfs.

I loved all the laughter, and also how you had a different name for Jessie for every scene haha.

25:07 A tri-county or tri-state area is usually a metropolis that services-you guessed it-residents from three different areas. It’s basically just a centralized location, a hub for business and trade that you might not get in smaller or more rural areas. They’re all over the place in the US. For example, DC serves as the big, easy-to-reach city for many residents in Maryland and Virginia, specifically the trio Montgomery, Fairlax, and Prince George’s Counties.

See unlike other toy's there were multiple types, JESSIE, Woody and Bullseye, and Stinkie Pete were custom made from the TV series, but there weren't others like them. Like example we see millions of other Buzz light-years because it became such a popular toy. According to Google and doing a lot of searching around. From Writers and Pixar, themselves. Stated that Woody belonged to Andy's dad. Toy Story's protagonist, Woody, belonged to Andy's father first (indeed, Andy's mom calls Woody “an old family toy”). Andy's father was also named Andy-Andy Sr. -and he wrote his name on Woody's boot. The reason Woody is such a rare toy is because he's the only Woody doll that was ever made-just a prototype. Which is why Al wanted to steal him. But also, with Woody and why he is Andy's favorite toy because it's his only connection to his absent father. You know it's kind of funny. Buzz when he came out of the box, he thought he was the real ranger. not a toy and yet he remembers things, he remembered everything on the side of his box when he and woody and everyone met in movie one. But now in this one, Woody has no idea who he is or has no backstory or one he even remembered, it's kind of funny in away the opposites between Buzz's backstory he remembers but Woody doesn't remember his backstory at all or that there was a TV show about him, He had no clue about any of it.

I think I like the story of this one even more than the first. Very good sequel. These movies are so creative.

25:10 I've never heard anyone use it beyond tv and movies. Some regions do have kind of unofficial names though like the DMV is the area where delewhere, Maryland, and Virginia meet. Also known as Washington DC. and New England which is Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Some of those states are rather small

Toy Story 1 and 2 was the best, and I only like these two movies. It was the finisher for me, it felt most complete.

There is a theory that woody is the ONLY woody doll. He might even be a prototype but the toy itself never got made/sold due to the company/show going bust

I love the voice actor for Slinky he's my favorite in Earnest those movies are hilarious.

8:06 "Nobody poorly imitates my favourite farm animal!"

2:37 The Super Nintendo geek's gonna need his medication.

The best animated bloopers I remember seeing are from Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie

Fight me. This is the best toy story. The first one is a landmark. The third emotional as hell, same with the 4th. But this is just a damn near perfect kids film

17:02 Dang, this movie predicted the shortage of Luisa merch.

27:49 I hope that gets addressed in _Toy Story 5_ - that alone would justify that unnecessary sequel's existence.

That dream scene used to scare me as a kid.

Waiting for part 3 😁

3:25 It's crazy how conservatives get all up in arms over same-gender relationships in children's media when a character can get all intimate with someone of the opposite gender. Like... when I saw _Nimona,_ I literally didn't even know Balazar and that other knight were boyfriends until I saw it pointed out online - I thought they were just really close friends, like Woody and Buzz (in the sequels), for example. (yeah, yeah, insert "historians say they were close freinds" joke here)

9:37-9:40 😄😄

21:39 you will enjoy toy story 4 then
