Meanwhile, Buzz has enlisted the help of Slinky Dog, Mr. Potato Head, Rex, and Hamm to rescue Woody. They reach Al's Toy Barn, where Buzz is imprisoned by a new Utility Belt Buzz Lightyear toy, who, like Andy's Buzz in the first film, believes himself to be a real space ranger. Andy's toys mistake Utility Belt Buzz for Andy's Buzz and he thinks they are on a mission to defeat his nemesis, the Evil Emperor Zurg. Utility Belt Buzz leads the toys by hiding in Al's bag while Andy's Buzz escapes and follows the gang to Al's apartment, unintentionally releasing a toy Zurg, who also believes he is the real Zurg and follows Andy's Buzz to destroy him.Orr, Gilliar (May 17, 2012).

Toy Story 2 does what few sequels ever do. Instead of essentially remaking an earlier film and deeming it a sequel, the creative team, led by director John Lasseter, delves deeper into their characters while retaining the fun spirit of the original film.

Still in Production, while the Toy Story 10th Anniversary DVD lost all of the early animation tests from the movie's section of the Ultimate Toy Box, "Early Animation Tests" (3:00) here preserves some of Woody's tests from the original's section as well as interesting sequel trials with Bullseye, Jessie, Al, and Zurg, each accompanied by insightful but uncredited audio commentary by late supervising animator Glenn McQueen. In "Special Effects" (1:38), associate technical director Oren Jacob explains the kind of work he and others did on the explosive Buzz/robots showdown from the beginning of Toy Story 2. Lastly, "International Scene" (1:45) offers an alternate version of a shot from Toy Story 2, in which Buzz's patriotic speech is punctuated not by the American flag, but by a spinning globe, fireworks, and a different piece of score from Randy Newman. As Lasseter and Unkrich explain in the introduction, they wanted to make the moment less distinctly American for viewers from other nations. Toy Story 2' will feature 'outtakes' Christmas Day".

Story contains two brief bonuses. First is a storyboard pitch of "Woody's Nightmare" thrown to the directors and creative crew by Pixar's late story man Joe Ranft. With the "angle" button, you can view this either with the storyboards in a window and Ranft in his audience filling the screen, or simply with Ranft's narration over the screen-filling storyboards. Second, there is a story reel for the "Jessie's Song" sequence, which you also watch in two ways: as a split-screen storyboards-to-film comparison or as simply the storyboards. Either way, you get the final sound mix of the film. Together, with the skippable pre-existing introductions by Ranft and story supervisor Dan Jeup, these two features run 7 minutes.

He welcomes you to the set in an amusing fashion, with Buzz, Woody, and Wheezy making cameos (in toy mode). This brief clip does not automatically play, but that's fine, since it's not something you'd need to see every time. George Rousch (February 6, 2009).

The first listing of Disc 2's menu is Toy Box: Outtakes, Games & More!, not to be confused with another Toy Box which held three discs and both Toy Story movies. The first item here is a reel of Outtakes (5:25), which were added to Toy Story 2's end credits a month into its theatrical run as a way of thanking/encouraging repeat viewings.

When Woody is kidnapped by a toy collector, Buzz Lightyear and the other toys set out in hot pursuit but soon discover that Woody's new life and new friends are tempting the cowboy to remain in his new world.

Finally, there are two Easter Eggs to be found around the menus of Disc 2, each plainly indicated by an unlabeled star, like the unannounced bonuses on Toy Story: 10th were. The first and more easily accessible is a 1-minute, 8-second clip which appeared on the Ultimate Toy Box as a more deeply hidden Egg. Half of it is a context-setting introduction by Lasseter and Brannon, while the second part is a gag slipped into dailies by an animator which takes Jessie's sentimental song in an unexpected direction. The second Egg, which requires some digging, is a puzzling 20-second clip of Woody (with disturbingly protruding ears) acting as a pitcher in a baseball game. This weird little thing would have benefited more from an introduction; I haven't the foggiest idea of what it is. Geoffroy, Kyler (July 2, 2019).

To make the project ready for theaters, Lasseter would need to add 12 minutes or so of material and strengthen what was already there. The extra material would be a challenge since it could not be mere padding — it would have to feel as if it had always been there, an organic part of the film. [6] With the scheduled delivery date less than a year away, Lasseter called Stanton, Docter, Joe Ranft, and some Disney story people to his house for a weekend. There, he hosted what he called a "story summit", a crash exercise that would yield a finished story in just two days.
