About Toy Story 2
In the beloved animated film "Toy Story 2," the characters are brought to life by a talented cast of voice actors. The leading roles are played by Tom Hanks as Woody, the loyal and lovable cowboy doll, and Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear, the courageous and determined space ranger. These characters, along with their fellow toys, embark on an unforgettable adventure that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
The story begins when Andy, the toys' owner, heads off to Cowboy Camp, leaving his toys to their own devices. The toys, who come to life when humans aren't around, are left to their own devices. However, things take a turn for the worse when an obsessive toy collector named Al McWhiggen, owner of Al's Toy Barn, kidnaps Woody. Al plans to sell Woody to a museum in Japan, where he will be on display for all to see, but never played with again.
Andy's toys, led by Buzz Lightyear, mount a daring rescue mission to save their friend. Along the way, Buzz Lightyear meets his match in the form of an action figure named Zurg, who is just as determined to stop the rescue mission as Buzz is to complete it. Meanwhile, Woody must decide where he truly belongs. Does he want to be a part of a museum exhibit, or does he want to be a toy that is loved and played with by a child? The answer to this question will determine the fate of Woody and his friends.
