Pixar's Toy Story 2 was released in cinemas in 1999.
The sequel opened in the United States on November 24, 1999. It continued the story of Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and Andy’s other toys, while expanding Woody’s history as a rare character from a vintage television property.
In Toy Story 2, Woody is stolen by toy collector Al McWhiggin after a yard-sale incident. He learns about the fictional television show Woody’s Roundup and meets Jessie, Bullseye, and Stinky Pete. The story asks whether Woody should remain with Andy or become part of a museum collection.
Toy Story 2 was originally planned as a direct-to-video project, but its production expanded into a theatrical feature. The film became a major success and is often noted for deepening the emotional and historical world of the franchise. It was followed by Toy Story 3 in 2010.
