Toy Story 2 (2000)

Toy Story 2 I want all the toys in this film (I will take out a loan if necessary).

I want to do a trolley-dash in Al's Toy Barn.

I especially want that battling robots game that I once sliced my finger open on many many years ago.

I want to take all my old toys down from the attic and reassure them that I still love them, and chastise myself for forsaking them for cigarettes and alcohol.

I want to see this all over again.

Priceless. You forget the fact that it is computer-generated after about 10 seconds, and get swept along by the jokes (both the ones for the kids, and the parodies & innuendoes for us smug grown-ups), the plot (a fast-paced and edge of the seat rescue mission that puts the likes of Mission Impossible to shame), the pathos (Jessie's song had me sniffling into my pick n mix), the dialogue& voice acting and the whole nigh-perfect feel of the thing.

Watching Toy Story 2 was almost like watching a DVD movie - the Dinosaurs trailer, the Luxo Jr short, the excellent out-takes at the end - heck, I even enjoyed the Cadburyland adverts and trailers for things like Stuart Little and The Tigger Movie.

But of course, the undisputed highlight was Toy Story 2 itself: bigger, brighter, sharper and altogether better than its ground-breaking predecessor.

Take it from the top, Wheezy...
