Toy Story 2

This issue became a particularly sore spot for Pixar, leading to a fallout between Pixar CEO Steve Jobs and Disney CEO Michael Eisner, concluding in Pixar's 2004 announcement that it would not extend its deal with Disney and would instead seek other distribution partners.
. However, Disney argued that as a sequel Toy Story 2 should not count as one of the five films in the deal.

. Pixar and Disney had a five-film co-production deal and with Pixar's string of successes, the company looked to renegotiate a new deal that would give it a bigger cut of the box-office take. [1]. When Disney executives saw how impressive the in-work imagery for the sequel was, they decided to release it theatrically. His remains were moved from Santa Marta to Caracas in 1842, where a monument was set up for his burial.

Disney asked Pixar to make a direct-to-video sequel for the original Toy Story (like most Disney sequels). Bolívar finally resigned his presidency on April 27, 1830, intending to leave the country for exile in Europe or the Caribbean, and died from tuberculosis on December 17, 1830, in "La Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino", in Santa Marta, Colombia. Toy Story 2 almost didn't make it to the theaters, however. Dissident feelings continued, and uprisings would later occur in New Granada, Venezuela and Ecuador during the next two years. Toy Story 2 made over $245,000,000 in its initial US theatrical run, far surpassing the original, and in fact, every other animated movie to that date except for The Lion King, though both were later eclipsed by another Pixar movie, Finding Nemo. Although he emerged physically intact, this nevertheless greatly affected Bolívar. When Buzz says goodbye to the second Buzz he gives him the Vulcan salute, a Star Trek reference. An assassination attempt in September 1828 failed.

The floating platforms Buzz Lightyear hops on play "Thus Spake Zarasthustra", the theme to the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey. He considered this as a temporary measure, as a means to reestablish his authority and save the republic, though it increased dissatisfaction and anger among his political opponents. The scene where Zurg identifies himself as Buzz's father is, of course, a reference to The Empire Strikes Back. John Ratzenberger, who plays Hamm, had a small part in The Empire Strikes Back, as Major Derlin. After the failure of the convention due to grave political differences, Bolívar proclaimed himself dictator on August 27, 1828 through the "Organic Decree of Dictatorship". In the opening sequence, when Buzz is on an alien planet, and ultimately battles the evil Emperor Zurg, many of the sound effects are directly from the original Star Wars trilogy, including lightsaber sound effects, the torture droid's hum, and the scraping metal noise the AT-AT's make as they lumber across the plains of Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back. Unhappy with what would be the ensuing result, Bolívar's delegates left the convention. The dust in the scene where Woody meets Wheezy set a record for number of particles animated for a movie by computer. This move was considered controversial and was one of the reasons why the deliberations met with strong opposition.

Its price is 25 cents and the headlines on the cover read:. Bolivar had wanted to implement in Gran Colombia some or all of the elements of the Bolivian constitution he had written (which included a lifetime presidency with the ability to select a successor, though this was theoretically held in check by an intricate system of balances). It is dated January 12, 1957 (which is John Lasseter's birth date). In an attempt to keep the republic together as a single entity, Bolívar called for a constitutional convention at Ocaña during April 1828. A Life magazine in Al's apartment features Woody riding Bullseye on its cover. An amnesty was declared and an arrangement was reached with the Venezuelan rebels, but political dissent in New Granada grew as a consequence of this. This may be a reference to a phrase in another Tom Hanks film, Forrest Gump, "I may not be a smart man, Jenny, but I know what love is". During 1826, internal divisions had sparked dissent throughout the nation and regional uprisings erupted in Venezuela, thus the fragile South American coalition appeared to be on the verge of collapse.

Before the toys are due to cross the road to Al's Toy Barn, Slinky Dog says "I may not be a smart dog, but I know what roadkill is". However Bolívar had great difficulties maintaining control of the vast Gran Colombia. His fee for Toy Story 2 was $5,000,000. On August 6, 1825, at the Congress of Upper Peru, the Republic of Bolivia was created in honour of Bolívar, who drafted a new constitution for the new nation. Hanks' salary for portraying Woody in the original Toy Story was USD$50,000. Sucre destroyed the still numerically superior remnants of the Spanish forces at Ayacucho on December 9. Many even claim the film is superior to the original, a rare feat for a sequel. Bolívar, assisted by Antonio José de Sucre, decisively defeated the Spanish cavalry on August 6 1824 at Junín.

The Rotten Tomatoes site lists 130 reviews for the film, all of them positive. The Peruvian congress named him dictator of Peru on February 10, 1824, which allowed Bolívar to completely reorganize the political and military administration. Critical response to Toy Story 2 was overwhelmingly positive.

The second is a Vegas-style finale production number sung by Wheezy (singing voice provided by Robert Goulet). Further victories at the Carabobo in 1821 and Pichincha in 1822 consolidated his rule over Venezuela and Ecuador respectively. The first is sung by the puppet Woody on the television as part of the "Woody's Roundup" show. A victory at the Battle of Boyacá in 1819 added Colombia to the territories free from Spanish control, and in September 7, 1821 the Gran Colombia (a federation covering much of Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, and Ecuador) was created, with Bolívar as president and Francisco de Paula Santander as vice president.

The film also includes two new versions of "You've Got A Friend In Me", the theme from the first film. In 1816, with Haitian help, Bolívar landed in Venezuela and captured Angostura (now Ciudad Bolívar). Randy Newman wrote two new songs for Toy Story 2. However, after a number of political and military disputes with the government of Cartagena, Bolívar fled in 1815 to Jamaica, where he requested the Haitian leader Alexandre Pétion for aid. After Hamm fails at the Buzz Lightyear video game, he flips through the channels and sees Al in an Al's Toy Barn commercial, crying since he lost his precious luggage. He intended to march into Cartagena and enlist the aid of local forces in order to capture Royalist Santa Marta. The events of the airplane's cargo hold have a terrible (and hilarious) price for Al. Due to the rebellion of José Tomás Boves in 1814 and the fall of the republic, he returned to New Granada, where he then commanded a Colombian nationalist force and entered Bogotá in 1814, recapturing the city from the dissenting republican forces of Cundinamarca.

for infinity and beyond.". Caracas was retaken on August 6, 1813, where he was proclaimed as El Libertador, thus proclaiming the Second Venezuelan Republic. And when it's all over, I'll have Buzz Lightyear to keep me company.. Six days later, on June 15, dictated his famous Decree of War to the Death (Decreto de Guerra a Muerte). Woody replies "it'll be fun while it lasts. He entered Mérida on May 23, following the occupation of Trujillo on June 9. Buzz asks Woody if he's still worried about his eventual fate. This was the beginning of the famous Campaña Admirable, the Admirable Campaign.

At home, the toys are greeted by a fixed Wheezy, who regales them with a concert. In 1813, after acquiring a military command in New Granada under the direction of the Congress of Tunja, he led the invasion of Venezuela on May 14. Jessie remains trapped in the suitcase, and Buzz and Woody ride Bullseye to rescue her from the plane's cargo hold. In this period, Bolívar wrote his Cartagena Manifesto. Al takes the toys to the airport, where Buzz and his group manage to free Woody and Bullseye from the suitcase, and stick the Prospector in a little girl's backpack so he can "learn the true meaning of play-time". But in July 1812, junta leader Francisco de Miranda surrendered, and Bolívar had to flee to Cartagena de Indias. The first two agree, but the Prospector locks them in the room, saying that the museum trip is his first chance (since he was never sold) and won't have Woody messing it up for him. Bolívar returned to Venezuela in 1811.

But Woody then has a change of heart and invites Jessie, Bullseye, and the Prospector to come home to Andy with him. The Caracas junta declared its independence in 1810, and Bolívar was sent to England on a diplomatic mission. you are a toy!" (ironically, Woody says exactly the same thing to Buzz in the first film) Woody is unconvinced and Buzz's group leaves without him. Bolívar returned to Venezuela in 1807 and, when Napoleon made Joseph King of Spain and its colonies in 1808, he participated in the resistance juntas in South America. Buzz reminds him "you are a child's plaything.. Bolívar returned to Europe in 1804 and for a time was part of Napoleon's retinue. When they get there, Woody tells them he doesn't want to be rescued and intends to go with his new friends to Japan, since he's now a "collector's item". There he married María Teresa Rodríguez del Toro y Alaysa in 1802, but on a brief return visit to Venezuela in 1803, she succumbed to yellow fever.

The original Buzz frees himself and follows them to the apartment. Following the death of his parents, he went to Spain in 1799 to complete his education. Buzz and his friends search for Al at Al's Toy Barn, where Buzz gets into a scuffle with another Buzz Lightyear doll (who, like Buzz in the first movie, doesn't realize he's a toy), and the new Buzz sets off with the other toys for Al's apartment, believing it to be a genuine rescue mission. Among his tutors was Simón Rodríguez, whose ideas and educational style heavily influenced the young man. Woody agrees to go with the "Roundup Gang" to the museum. Bolívar was born in Caracas, in modern-day Venezuela, into an aristocratic family, educated by different tutors after his parents died. Woody initially insists that he has to get back to Andy, but Jessie reveals how she was forgotten and eventually abandoned by her owner as she grew up, and the prospector warns Woody that he faces the same fate as Andy ages. .

Now that Al has a Woody doll, he has a complete collection and intends to sell the toys to a museum in Japan. Credited with leading the fight for independence in what are now the nations of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, today's Panama and Bolivia, he is revered as a hero in these countries and throughout much of the rest of Latin America. They reveal to him that they are toys based on a forgotten children's TV show, Woody's Roundup. Simón José Antonio de la Santísima Trinidad Bolívar y Palacios (July 24, 1783 – December 17, 1830) was a South American revolutionary leader. Woody is taken to Al's apartment, where he is greeted by Jessie, Bullseye, and the Prospector (an unsold toy still in its original box). Buzz and several other toys set out to rescue Woody.

When Wheezy is set out for a yard sale, Woody tries to rescue him, but ends up in the yard sale himself, where he is stolen by Al, an obsessive toy collector and proprietor of "Al's Toy Barn". Woody is placed on the shelf, where he finds another broken toy, the penguin Wheezy, and begins to fear he'll soon be thrown away. Some time after the events of Toy Story, presumably the following summer, Andy rips his Woody doll while playing with him and Buzz. Like the first film, Toy Story 2 was produced by Pixar Animation Studios, directed by John Lasseter, and released to theatres on November 18, 1999 by Walt Disney Pictures and Buena Vista Distribution.
