Toy Story 2

Ironclad Consistent across all rounds
1999 · Animation, Comedy, Family · John Lasseter

Most films have a weak round. Toy Story 2 doesn't. 59% across 39 head-to-head matchups, consistent whether it's facing a first-round underdog or a final-round elite. "When She Loved Me" is a devastation delivery device disguised as a children's sequel. Pixar proved that a toy being forgotten in a donation box could break an adult audience, and that emotional ambush gives it a competitive edge its lighter predecessor doesn't carry. 1.6s per vote suggests strong instincts. Most voters arrive at this matchup already knowing which way they lean.

Synopsis

Andy heads off to Cowboy Camp, leaving his toys to their own devices. Things shift into high gear when an obsessive toy collector named Al McWhiggen, owner of Al's Toy Barn kidnaps Woody. Andy's toys mount a daring rescue mission, Buzz Lightyear meets his match and Woody has to decide where he and his heart truly belong.
