“Toy Story 2″ Movie Review

“Toy Story 2″ Plot Summary

When Woody is stolen by a toy collector, Buzz and his friends vow to rescue him, but Woody finds the idea of immortality in a museum tempting. add synopsis

Cute Toys Are Back With A Bang For More Adventure

It’s been about a decade since I last saw ‘Toy Story’. Thus, it would be unfair to compare that with ‘Toy Story 2′. Pixar has produced numerous gems since the first ‘Toy Story’. This one is a sheer delightful adventure and it’s not one that is only limited to entertaining children. There are the charming characters from the old one and some wonderful new characters that include the energetic Jessie the Yodelling Cowgirl, the hot barbies and Woody’s faithful and hyper steed. The animation is superb and looks refreshing. The story too takes a new turn that presents the dilemma of whether one should live an eternal life of wealth and security or an unpredictable life that at least promises a few years of love. The actors do a fine job lending their voice. Hanks and Allen are back as Woody and Buzz and Joan Cusack is a treat as the vivacious Jessie. But I must add that I loved Buzz’s gang that includes the hilarious Rex and the lovable Slinky, the resourceful Mr. Potatohead and the cute Hamm, and their attempts to rescue Woody and bring him back home. There’s a beautiful song by Sarah Mclachlan that dictates Jessie’s pain. The sequel being a huge hit just proves how timeless the characters are and I want to see ‘Toy Story’ again just to follow the whole story. It’s already been a decade since, but I wonder whether they’ll make a sequel and what the fate of our toy friends will be once Andy has grown up. ‘Toy Story 2′ is an unforgettable adventure with a beautiful soul.

    “Brother Bear” Movie Review

    “Brother Bear” Plot Summary

    A young Inuit hunter seeks vengence against a bear, only to be magically changed into a bear himself, and his only chance to change back is with a talkative bear cub. add synopsis

    A breath of fresh air.

    No, it’s not one of those older Disney ‘classics,’ but I loved the film to death. It has believable characters, beautiful animation, a good storyline, decent music, and best of all (or at least, the most refreshing of all) is that its humour and dialogue aren’t overdone like you see so often. It has good messages and memorable scenes

    As far as a plot overview, if you don’t want your children to see a ‘gorey’ movie, despite a lack of blood and apparent injury, you should stay away from this film. Within the first fifteen minutes, both the main character’s older brother and a bear die. The movie also accepts occult ideas concerning religion, as there are spirits that live in the sky rather than a single god (which are capable of creating great changes) and instances where it embraces the idea of karma. But overall, this movie is as cute and cuddly as the bears it follows. It won’t screw up your kids

    The animation in this film is beautiful. I’m a fan of the old style of drawing it on paper, then inking, then painting, as opposed to all of this Pixar-style crap Disney’s been spewing out lately (and no, Pixar movies are good, but Disney CGI films are baaaad). This style is all but dead, and Brother Bear is supposedly the second to last film to be hand-drawn. Appreciate it

    I admit that some of the music was a bid… odd. Phil Collins, being the main player in that department, does a decent job singing, but the lyrics were kind of, well, stupid. The best song is the one sung in Inuit, if that makes a difference

    I don’t want to say more in case you’re reading this despite the spoiler warning. The bottom line is, this movie is great. I love it. It’s one of my favourite Disney movies, and trust me, it’s much better than you may think if you’re of the belief it’s just another ‘get rich quick’ film. Buy it, watch it with your kids, and enjoy it. You won’t be disappointed.
