Sequels are often a safe bet, at least in terms of box office earnings. Once the audience has been won over to a new film idea, it is only right and cheap for the studios to hold onto it and bring it back to the people in a variety of forms. Especially in the animation genre, there are mostly lovelessly produced sequels that can not keep up with the previous films and even suffer from a complete lack of originality. Fortunately, it doesn't always work that way. A positive exception is sure Toy Story 2, a computer animation released in 1999 by Ash Brannon and John Lasseter starring Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, and Joan Cusack. Woody's only hope now is that Buzz Lightyear and the other toys will rescue him from the evil toy collector through a breakneck rescue operation. And that's just a build-up followed by a great story with lots of new and funny ideas, that would likely put the prequel in the shade. The animations are also great. This film has an even better impact now through 4K Blu ray and Dolby Atmos.
