The Sequel That Shouldn't Have Worked: Toy Story 2 Reviewed

from Thirty Minute Reviews · host Adam Taylor and Josie May

Toy Story 2 was never supposed to be a theatrical release. It started as a direct-to-video mandate from Disney, went through a near-total creative overhaul with less than a year left in production, and still came out as the best sequel Pixar has ever made. On today's Thirty Minute Reviews, Adam breaks down how that impossible production history shaped the film, and why the result holds up more than 25 years later.
