Plot Summary: In Toy Story 2, Woody (Tom Hanks) is stolen by a greedy toy collector, Al McWhiggin (Wayne Knight), who plans to sell him to a museum in Japan. While Woody meets new toys—Jessie the cowgirl (Joan Cusack), Bullseye the horse, and Stinky Pete the Prospector (Kelsey Grammer)—Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) and the rest of Andy's toys embark on a daring rescue mission to bring Woody home. However, Woody is tempted by the idea of being preserved forever in the museum, leading to an emotional struggle between loyalty and destiny.
