This is the second film of the Toy Story series. The owner Andy is ready to take Woody the pull-string cowboy doll to the Cowboy Club. But Woody’s arm is broken. It makes Woody very worried that the owner will abandon him. Woody goes to rescue Wheezy the toy penguin but he is left in the park. Buzz the slinky dog, Mr. Potato Head, Rex the plastic Tyrannosaurus and Hamm the piggy bank start the task of saving Woody. Soon, Woody knows that he and these cowboy partners are to be sold to a toy museum in Japan by the toy factory. Buzz finds the location of the toy factory and forms a small team to rescue Woody. Woody’s arm is attached and he regains his brilliance. But he does not want to go to Japan. He still wants to go back to Andy’s house. However, the cowboy girl Jessie tries to retain him. Buzz and the team finally arrive and save Woody.

Like the last one in the series, this movie has many twists and turns. It also has a sad ending – the love story between Woody and Jessie will certainly impress you.

The film is thrilling. The toys cannot be known by humans that they know how to talk and walk. You have to watch it! A Disney spokesperson said that the fourth film of the series will be in cinemas in 2019. Everyone should go and see it.
