Toy Story 2: Difference between revisions

The second movie of the [[Toy Story (franchise)|''Toy Story ''franchise]].

 

 

Woody prepares to go to cowboy camp with Andy, but Andy nearly rips Woody's right arm off. Andy decides to leave Woody behind, and Andy's mother puts Woody on a shelf. The next day, Woody discovers Wheezy, a penguin squeaky toy, has been shelved for months due to a broken squeaker. When Andy's mother puts Wheezy in a yard sale, Woody rescues him, only to be stolen by a greedy toy collector, who takes him to his apartment. Buzz Lightyear and all of Andy's other toys identify the thief from a commercial as Al McWhiggin, the owner of a toy store called Al's Toy Barn. Buzz, Hamm, Mr. Potato Head, Slinky Dog, and Rex all set out to rescue Woody.

Meanwhile, Buzz and the other toys eventually reach Al's Toy Barn. While searching for Woody, Buzz is imprisoned into a cardboard box by another Buzz Lightyear action figure with a utility belt, who thinks he is a real space ranger, like the original Buzz from the first film. The new Buzz joins the other toys, who mistake him as their Buzz. After discovering Al's plan, they arrive at his apartment while Buzz escapes and pursues them, accidentally freeing an Emperor Zurg toy, who immediately goes after him, intent on destroying him. After the toys find Woody, Buzz rejoins them and proves that he is Andy's Buzz, but Woody refuses to go home. Buzz reminds Woody of a toy's "true purpose" and warns him that in the museum, he will only be able to watch children from behind glass and never be played with again. After seeing a boy play with him on the TV, Woody changes his mind and asks the Roundup toys to come with him, but Stinky Pete prevents their escape...

 

{{tropelist|Tropes common to the franchise are listed on [[Toy Story (franchise)|the ''Toy Story ''franchise page]]. Tropes specific to this movie include:}}

* [[Acting Unnatural]]: Woody tells Buster the dog to "Act casual" while Woody hangs on his collar to rescue Wheezy unseen by humans. Buster begins to strut leisurely, and Woody hisses, "Not that casual!"

* [[An Aesop]]: Al's half-crying on TV after his loss -- "I guess crime doesn't pay."

'''Buzz:''' I'm proud of you, cowboy.

'''Woody:''' Besides, when it all ends, I'll have old [[The Lancer|Buzz Lightyear]] to keep me company. For infinity and beyond. }}

* [[Dance Party Ending]]: With Wheezy singing "You Got A Friend In Me".

* [[Deadly Disc]]: [[Captain Space, Defender of Earth!|Buzz Lightyear]] throws discs at [[Evil Overlord|Emperor Zurg]] during the [[Video Game]] opening sequence and the fight on top of the elevator.

* [[Fake-Out Opening]]: The beginning with Buzz Lightyear infiltrating Zurg's planet.

* [[Fake Static]]: Al uses this while talking to Mr. Kinoshi on his cell phone.

* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: Zurg's Ion Blaster, particularly in the video game, shoots yellow-green "plasma". Zurg also fires green, ping-pong-like balls in his fight against Impostor Buzz at the elevator shaft in Al's apartment (probably supposed to represent [[Hard Light|plasma bullets]]). Buzz can usually [[Painfully-Slow Projectile|dodge these]] by jumping across the air, tumbling acrobatically, etc. Averted by Buzz's [[Hit Scan|laser]]. which instantly hits the target.

* [[Furry Confusion]]: A brief moment of this happens when Buzz uses an out-of-the-box, yet apparently non sentient or even alive [[Cymbal-Banging Monkey]] in his attempt to catch out with the other toys as they leave Al's Toy Barn.

* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: After hearing the [[Mood Swinger|Prospector's]] backstory - which finds him sitting on a store shelf for years, watching every other toy get sold but him - you can't help but feel for him. And while he attempts some rather bad things near the end, his desire to find some form of love as a museum piece is understandable.

** [[Mood Swinger|Stinky Pete]] had good reasons to do what he did. Sure, he almost ripped [[The Hero|Woody]] into ribbons, but even then he wouldn't have killed him, since his goals depend on [[The Hero|Woody's]] survival.

* [[You Answered Your Own Question]]: Rex: "How do you spell ''FBI''?"
