THE ROAD TO TOY STORY 5 CONTINUES! TOY STORY 2 (1999) Full Movie Reaction & Breakdown with Greg Alba and Paige Kimsey!

Thank you to Huel for partnering and supporting our show! - Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ In this comprehensive movie review and reaction, Greg and Paige dive straight into the high-stakes adventure of Woody getting stolen from a yard sale by a greedy toy collector. We unpack the incredible voice work of the legendary main cast, featuring Tom Hanks (Forrest Gump, Cast Away) bringing timeless charm to the cowboy Sheriff Woody, Tim Allen (The Santa Clause, Home Improvement) as the iconic space ranger Buzz Lightyear, and Joan Cusack (Working Girl, In & Out) delivering massive emotional depth as the cowgirl Jessie. We also highlight the stellar supporting performances from Kelsey Grammer (Frasier, Cheers) as Stinky Pete the Prospector, Wayne Knight (Seinfeld, Jurassic Park) as the obsessive Al McWhiggin of Al's Toy Barn, and Don Rickles (Casino) as Mr. Potato Head. Our hosts react to all the brilliant themes of replacement and obsolescence, noting how the threat of being replaced by a shiny new toy hits differently as adults in a world facing shifts like artificial intelligence. We break down the epic, Star Wars-inspired Buzz Lightyear video game opening, the immense tension of the yard sale rescue mission, and the incredibly satisfying artistry of the old toy restorer perfectly repairing Woody's arm. Paige opens up about deeply relating to Jessie's fear of the dark and abandonment after being left in a storage box, diving into the pure heartbreak of Sarah McLachlan's classic "When She Loved Me" montage. We also discuss the legendary production trivia of how a mistyped command almost completely deleted the movie's files from the Pixar server, only to be saved by supervising technical director Galen Susman on maternity leave before the team completely remade the entire plot from scratch in just nine months. Stick around until the end as we break down our personal favorite childhood toys—including Tech Deck trick boarders, 25-cent sticky hands, and anti-gravity boots—alongside a fun side tangent on Paige's legendary "spaghetti pie" recipe and Greg's current preparation for an upcoming Spartan race! #ToyStory2 #ToyStoryReaction #Pixar #reaction #review #toystory #toystory2 #TomHanks #TimAllen #JoanCusack #PixarReaction #WoodyAndBuzz #AnimationReview #MovieReaction #WatchAlong #FirstTimeWatching #Nostalgia #AlToyBarn 0:00 Checking inn.. 2:04 Toy Story 2 Reaction 35:52 Huel Ad 37:36 Toy Story 2 Reaction 54:10 Toy Story 2 Review TOY STORY (1995) MOVIE REACTION: https://youtu.be/Y4i2FHo-DZ4 SOUL (2020) MOVIE REACTION: https://youtu.be/_bMy0ArK20Q OFF CAMPUS EPISODES 1-2 REACTION: https://youtu.be/SlxLmppRkt0 HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS (2002) REACTION: https://youtu.be/KmQxlzLRu34 Follow *Paige Kimsey* https://www.instagram.com/paige.popcorn?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Follow *Greg Alba* https://www.instagram.com/thegregalba/ https://twitter.com/thegregalba Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG PLAYLISTS: Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Youtube Video Reactions & Discussions: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_qwcPsN_vOxXC6IVzrOQYG

The original Toy Story will always be iconic but the scene of the old man fixing Woody even as a kid was 🤌

The joke of Buzz's wings springing out after Jess' stunt is hilarious! Went totally over my head when I was a kid and still innocent 😂😂

The montage of the man cleaning and repairing Woody is one of my favorite scenes. It’s basically ASMR until he paints his boot 😅

Yeah, you’re right about the old guy. That was playing chess with himself. I remember that too.

You know this is the Pixar Movie that was almost completely destroyed because of a command.
