Toy Story 2
Toy Story 2 has an unusual bracket signature: modest early, strong late. The 45% overall rate hides a film that tends to peak exactly when the competition does. "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.
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.
A slow burn in bracket form. 37% in the opening round suggests voters aren't sure what to do with it early — but by the final it's at 63%. Something about the deeper rounds suits Toy Story 2.
Toy Story 2 dominates The Empire Strikes Back at 70%. Paddington 2 at 25% is the one matchup where that confidence disappears.
Near the top of John Lasseter's 4-film lineup on BingeBracket. Toy Story at 66% is the benchmark; Toy Story 2 at #3 isn't far behind.
