The plot gives them plenty to do but their delivery is also spot on actors can have off days and get their body language wrong, but here the computer characters can be manipulated just how the director wants them to be this really helps the delivery of the character as body language and movement is a big part of it. The plot is great too and is well supported by great characters in the main who really draw us into the story considering how often computer effects can just be 'effects' and nothing more, it is to Pixar's credit that so often you just forget these are effects and see them as characters in their own right. In fact this mix of adult material and kiddie material is, as ever, the film's appeal as it does cater so well to both extremes of the market. Keeping similar themes the film delivers a plot that is quite moving at points and has plenty of thought for adults to ponder while the kids laugh at Buzz falling over. However this has not happened yet and it certainly did not happen with this sequel to their great Toy Story. The gang set out to rescue Woody but, with his value as a collector's item and his new friends around him, will Woody want to be rescued? Pixar are going to have a flop sooner or later either they will misfire or the usual mix of material will start to feel stale. When another toy is taken for a yard sale, Woody goes to rescue him only to find himself trapped at the sale and picked up by a collector who recognises the worth of the rare dolls. For Woody this comes when a ripped arm sees him left behind on the shelf awaiting repair while Andy goes off to summer camp.

In every toy's life there comes a time where damage and fading interest will take its toll.
