Get it all out here. Let us no longer fill other threads with talk of Toy Story 2, cat feces, kid’s/children’s/family films, etc.

I just want to know if Toy Story 2 is Objectively Bad or Objectively Good or Subjectively either or “Empirically Bad™”.

I know Frink said Objectively Good, but I want another opinion before I put my eggs in a basket.

Thanks

Keep Circulating the Tapes.

I’m not sure I would consider it bad. I believe the best way to describe it is that it is subjectively useless outside of its technical quality. (This would refer specifically to my opinion, of course)

I admit that I spoke harshly of it when the topic came up. I probably showed much more disdain for it in those words than I really hold for it (which mostly came from my annoyance at everybody acting up about the fact that I don’t like it). I merely don’t care that much about it, and before this all came about, I didn’t care enough to even have known how much universal appraise it has.

I do not think it’s a story that needed to be told, nor is it a story that I want to be told. And all of the jokes and references within that may work well and may be funny, don’t make up for the jokes and references that are utterly unfunny and utterly annoying, nor do they make up for the fact that I don’t want to see this story. (Subjectively in my opinion, of course.)

Did the movie make you cry?

The majority of movies are “stories that don’t need to be told”. Doesn’t mean they’re useless. If a film brightens someone’s day it’s invaluable, at least for that one person for that day.

I’m not really sure where this question is coming from, but the answer is no.

Many people say that Toy Story 2 is the first Pixar movie to make them cry.

Really? I didn’t think it was that sad.

I can’t remember very many films making me cry. They were all when I was quite young, though. The only ones that come to mind are The Wrong Trousers (when Gromit leaves home in the middle of the night) and Spider-Man 2 (when Doc Ock sacrifices himself).

I can’t deny this, and that’s where the subjectivity comes into play. Anyway, by that point I don’t think any movie is a story that needs to be told (in the form of a film, of course).

The more important part of my stated opinion is that it’s a story that I don’t particularly wan’t to be told.

I also will say that a better way to express my opinion on its being subjectively unnecessary, is that it is an expansion on the characters from the first film that I don’t need, nor do I want. Others may feel differently, and that’s fine.

I have nothing against it’s existence, but like those who love Star Wars as a stand alone film, and don’t care for the sequels, I love Toy Story without much care for its sequels.

I absolutely adore Toy Story 2 and it is within my favourite films of all time.

Not enough people read the EU.

The discussion need not go any further lol

Tell me about it.

My girls are getting to the age where they don’t need their favorite toys ALL the time, and it’s easy to see the day where they don’t need them at all…and watching that scene now makes me more sad than it ever did before. And it was already sad.
