Toy Story 2, a groundbreaking Disney-Pixar production, was released in the Netherlands in early 2000 following its U.S. debut in late 1999. Directed by John Lasseter, with co-directors Ash Brannon and Lee Unkrich, the film continued the adventures of Woody and Buzz Lightyear with emotional depth and witty humor.
