The ring delivery date is March 2. 2000, Toy Story 2 Starring the voices of Tom Hanks and Tim Allen Directed by John Lasseter Toy Story 2 originally was going to be re leased exclusively on video, as most of Disney’s sequels are. However, as production drew to a close, Disney realized it had a winner and de cided to release the film in theaters — one of Disney’s best decisions. Toy Story 2 is breaking box-office records and is one of the few sequels that actually surpasses the original. After rescuing another toy from a garage sale. Woody (Hanks) is stolen by a slimy toy-store owner. Buzz Lightyear (Allen) and the rest of the toys are forced to pull out all the stops to make their way across town and rescue Woody before he can be packed up and shipped to a toy museum in Japan. Buzz gets to meet a new and improved ver sion of himself, complete with a utility belt, and Woody is introduced to a side of himself he nev er knew existed and makes some new friends. Despite these entertaining asides, the movie ul timately is a story of loyalty and the power of friendship, giving the movie a winning feeling. Filled with many jokes only adults will ap preciate, the movie also treats children to plenty of slapstick and entertaining eye candy. Director John Lasseter, who helmed the past two Disney/Pixar collaborations (Toy Sto ry, A Bug’s Life) continues to raise the bar for computer animation. The movie’s animation is simply amazing. Toy Story 2 is a genuine crowd-pleaser for people of all ages. More ambitious than its pre decessor, this touching and hilarious movie is an instant classic in the truest sense of the word.

Does it get any bigger than this? Despite Arnold’s claim to the contrary. End of Days is a rocking, wildly entertaining action movie, complete with M-16s and an awesome subway wreck.
