An great family classic films.
Toy Story, The Plot:An six year old boy Andy`s favorite toy named Woody(Voiced by Tom Hanks) used to be the leading toy to anothers toys in Andy`s room until one day in andy`s birthday recive a special toy named Buzz Lightyear(Voiced by Tim Allen), a flashy space ranger, that also thinks he`s a real space ranger fighting to save the planet from the evil emperor Zurg. The worst to come, when a nasty neighbor kid named Sid, find these the two toys in a resturant and Sid likes to destory toys for a living. But these two toys have to learn to like eachother to survive and saving themselves before andy`s is moving away.

Toy Story 2, The Plot:Andy is going on vacation to cowboy camp. Woody is abducted by a greddy toy collector(Voiced by Wayne Knight). Woody(Hanks) has his toys friends to save him-Buzz(Allen), Mr. Potato Head(Voiced by Don Rickles), Hamm(Voiced by John Ratzenberner), Rex(Voiced by Wallace Shawn) and Slinky Dog(Voiced by Jim Varney) are trying to save the day to recuse him. But woody discovers is acutally a fifties popular toy and also has new friends like Jessie the Cowgirl(Voiced by Joan Cusack), Bulleyes the Horse and Stinky Pete the Prospector(Voiced by Kesley Grammer). The toy collector wants to sale the toys to be in a museum for toys in Japan, if woody`s friends get to them first.

Both film Toy Story one and two are smart films, which is funny and touching, this will be never forgetting, these are really well made computer graphics imaginary films. The third disc is the supplemental feautres in the history on these two films on everything on extras like Deleted animation, early 3-D animation test, character design and a whole lot more. A great collector`s DVD to own with Great widescreen(1.78:1) transers and Excellent Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround. An Excellent DVD to own. Both films-Grade:A.

THIS SET IS LOADED !!!
Great movies to say the least. Toy Story and Toy Story 2 are great computer generated animation backed up with great buddy stories that you will love as much as your children. Whereas Toy Story revolves around Woody's concern over Andy's affection for buzz, Toy Story 2 deals with Woody being kidnapped by a vintage toy collector and the other toys attempt to rescue him. Toy Story 2 also introduces us to some great new characters including Jessie, Bullseye, and even Mrs. Potatoe Head.

What the Toy Box set offers is everything a diehard Toy Story and DVD fan could want. It is loaded with cut scenes, production notes, interviews with cast and crew and so much more. There is also a great section of joke references and hidden gags, many which center around Bug's Life. The third disc in this set has hours of great extras.

Finally, what may be lost on some is the fact that these movies were made for the digital experience that DVD offers. You get great surround effect from your speaker package. The video is SO much clearer when viewed on DVD. You WILL notice the difference.

Overall, two great movies with a ton of extras. Films that were made for DVD and a lot of extras for your extra money. Buy this boxed set for your kids and YOU. Enjoy.

Five stars for the movies, one star for Disney
Why must they stick to this archaic way of releasing their movies on video/DVD? I could understand discontinuing collector's or limited editions, but why discontinue entire movies? Well we all know the answer, I just hate to be jerked around like this. Disney is the largest movie company in the world but our enjoyment of their films is based around their idiotic release/discontinue schedule.
Well, with that unpleasantness out of the way, I must say Toy Story 2 is my favorite animated movie of all time and the Toy Story series is my favorite animated series (if you think about it, though, that's not saying a lot). Let's just do this in the order they came out.
Toy Story blew my mind, because the things they did in that movie (the first in particular) were so like me when I was a kid (at that age). Toy Story is sure enough my second favorite animated movie ever. It's funny, and colorful, and touching. I think all good kid's movies should have a sense of wonder, or delight, and it shouldn't be in either a cynical or naive way. They should show wonder in a way that can be found in the real world, which is a balance hard to find. The original Toy Story has all kinds of wonder and awe, both in positive and negative ways (some kids could be afraid of Sid but I bet they won't be able to stop looking at him). It's about finding your place in life, and what to do with what you've got. When Buzz happens upon a commercial for himself and then tries to fly through the window-well that is one of the most touching scenes in any movie I've seen. And the whole ending sequence is beautiful, from Buzz and Woody on the RC car going through traffic, or them being blasted from a rocket through the air. Not to mention it's filled with all kinds of toy-related jokes that any kid can relate to. I think it's safe to say it'll be looked back on like the very first full-length animated movie (it was Snow White, wasn't it?).
Toy Story 2 is nearly flawless. It has one of the craziest openings for a movie ever, and I love the way it can find a way to have characters with all kinds of motives. Al is driven by his greed, the Prospector is jaded but just wants to be loved, Jessie hasn't given up hope yet so is overjoyed when she can find a way to confirm her hopefulness. The movie uses the toys as a metaphor for growing up and moving on: or not. You can aspire for your dreams or you can realize you're happy with what you've got. Toy Story 2 is/was the last movie Disney made with Pixar before they got too smug and self-indulgent. They realized they had the power to stir emotions and awe (they also realized they could make a ton of money), but instead of giving us a sweet movie like Toy Story, we got the self-congragulatory Monsters Inc, with its obvious conflicted main character, and instead of a great secondary character like the Prospector, we got Boo. Finding Nemo was a step in the right direction, but in my opinion doesn't have the heart of the Toy Story movies.
I can actually think of one thing wrong with Toy Story 2, and that's that lame Sarah Mclachlan song. I'm not one of those people with a weird Randy Newman fascination, but his songs were so much better than that one Mclachlan song. I guess it's because the scene in which it's used is already so emotional, instead of Newman's weird but effective delivery we got Mclachlan hammering the point home with her yodeling. But I love that scene because it shows how the little girl grew up. Other than that, Toy Story 2 is great: funny and vibrant, even on my crusty old VHS tape.
I wish I had these movies on DVD. They spark wonder in me at my age just like they did when I first saw them. They have plenty of in-jokes and such but also have a timeless quality (and a strong sense of innocence). Five stars for the both of them, the best animated series of all time.
