As I said in my earlier review of the Toy Story blu-ray there's no real point in giving my opinion on the movie since everyone has seen it already. It seems a lot of people prefer the sequel to the original and while I have a hard time going that far Toy Story 2 more than lives up the original and is very close to being it's equal. All the characters from the first are back with some fine new additions. Woody takes on even more human emotion as he is forced to make an extremely tough choice. The action is upped and there are more pop culture references as well. The animation is also improved as Pixar really developed their ability to render affective humans in the 4 years between films. The only thing that keeps it slightly below Toy Story for me is that I just don't get quite as much of a sense of excitement from it.
I thought the blu-ray for Toy Story would be hard to top but Toy Story 2 manages to do it. It's just as amazing as you would expect it to be. The higher level of detail in the animation comes off fantastic in high def with detail being an incredibly strong point. Colors are bright and pop right off the screen. The audio as well is a sonic force. Constant surround usage, perfect directionality, massive low end and perfectly rendered dialogue make it a reference quality track.
As with Toy Story the is virtually no reason to not own this blu-ray. It's a fantastic movie for everyone and technically the disc is as good as anyone could ask for.
