"toy story 2", the second film in the franchise, was released on november 24, 1999. lasseter reprised his role as director. the plot involves woody getting stolen by a greedy toy collector named al mcwhiggin (wayne knight). buzz and several of andy's toys set off to attempt to free woody, who meanwhile has discovered his origins as a historic television star. in addition to the returning cast, "toy story 2" included voice acting from joan cusack, kelsey grammer, estelle harris, and jodi benson. "toy story 2" was not originally intended for release in theaters, but as a direct-to-video sequel to the original "toy story", with a 60-minute running time. however, disney's executives were impressed by the high quality of the in-work imagery for the sequel, and were also pressured by the main characters' voice actors hanks and allen, so they decided to convert "toy story 2" into a theatrical film. it turned out to be an even greater success than the original "toy story", grossing over $497 million worldwide. the film was re-released in disney digital 3-d as part of a double feature, along with "toy story", on october 2, 2009.
