How in the world did this not get an r rating. This movie hads lots of violence, deep depression, and tons of yelling. Now, I already did the thing on why Toy Story 1 should be pg-13( go check it out on the toy story 1 message board), well this is the one for why Toy Story 2 should be rated r.

Well, this movie wasnt as sadistic or dark as the first one, but it had more violence and yelling in it. They have a lot of actions scenes and toys yelling at each other. They had that major car crash when the toys were crossing the street. They even had a fight between father and son on the elevator( Buzz and the evil dude). They were hitting and insulting each other at the same time!!!!! Woddy graphically had his arm off through the whole movie, and when that dude tried to repair him... it was extremly graphic because Woody had needles go through his arms. Stinky Pete was as nearly as bad as Sid. He yelled all the time and made eveyone depressed. He made my little cousin so depressed that he actually had to go to therapy for 3 months!!!!!! Yeah thats how bad this movie is. I gave Toy Story 1 a pg13 rating for scary moments, thematic elements, plastic toy fighting/violence, distrubing behavior, scenes of brutal torture of toys, innuedos, and hints of extremely sexual dialogue.

Well Toy Story 2 should be rated R for mature thematic material including deep realistic deppresion, intense sequences of action including a rigorating car crash, plastic toy fighting/violence, disturbing behavoir, extremely graphic scenes of torture/fixing a toy, some scary moments, innuedos, nonstop strong pervasive yelling, some hint of extremely sexual dialogue, and a crude content reference

Next up is the real rating for Toy Story 3 when it comes out( its probably goin to be NC-17) Now i will go after some more pixar movies and other movies like Shrek or other aninmated moives. Look around!!!

Are you serious? This isn't some horror film. A lot of the fights were bloodless and were done with toy attachments and BY toys themselves, something that kids do all the time if a toy will fire something or shoot a 'laser'. It isn't like the arm of Woody was hanging covered in blood and gore, it was FLUFF. It could happen with all of your normal toys and teddies, however those toys aren't considered dangerous or damaging to children if they get broken.

A lot of these other themes are nowhere near as deep as they could be, the worst being the Round-Up Gang's feelings of abandonment, which once again could of been made more drastic but were made drastic enough to get the point across with the audience.

Also there must be some pretty obscure 'extremely sexual' dialogue in there, because I don't think I picked up next to anything like that. You will also find plenty of scary moments in Disney/Pixar films with much deeper themes, like Beauty and the Beast and the Hunchback of Notre Dame, not to mention scary imagery that you could find with most Disney villains and in films like The Black Cauldron. I suppose you would reckon they should all be rated 'R' too?

This reminds me of a review of Secret of NIMH that used to be on Wal-Mart's website. They said it was "too dark and scary". The person also said that they had thrown their copy in the trash.
