As someone who saw this as a child, i know something that might not occur to adult reviewers. WHile most of the messeges are fine, there is a subplot about toys that have been abondoned that can be very upsetting to kids. And very anxiety producing in terms of letting their own toys go.

What Parents Need to Know
About Toy Story 2
Parents need to know that, as in the first Toy Story, characters are separated from their loved ones, which could scare the littlest ones or upset them.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how enormously satisfying and meaningful it is to have a beloved toy and how collecting stuff for its own sake is a hollow pursuit.

In my oppinion, this is even better than the original Toy Story!
With less intense peril than in the first toy story, this movie has virtually nothing to be worried about. Hilarious characters, great story line, and like the first one it has an incredible soundtrack, this is an instant hit for any and ALL ages.

Some language and scary stuff for young ones
My 2 year old (watching with her 5 year old sibling) is scared by the initial sequence with Zurg (Darth Vader like character). Also, there is more name calling than you would think.
