At this point, we reach the last listing of the Main Menu, but if you think we're almost done, you must not be familiar with Pixar DVDs. Behind the Scenes is divided into seven entries and is by far makes up the most massive portion of the disc. Firstly, also ported over from the Toy Box, a "John Lasseter Profile" (3:01) can now be viewed as a video in the campaign to make the Toy Story 2 director the president of Disney Feature Animation. It repeatedly conveys the idea that Walt Disney's legacy is being continued in the pioneering visions of Lasseter, who appears gushing briefly in interview clips and working with the voice actors.

What ensues is a rescue mission. With Andy spending the week at summer camp, Buzz leads Rex, Hamm, Mr. Potato Head, and Slinky through the dangers of the outside world to locate and save their missing friend. Their journey is marked by adventure, from a frightening highway crossing to a trip inside an elevator shaft, not to mention encounters with the Evil Emperor Zurg (voiced by Pixar writer Andrew Stanton), Tour Guide Barbie ( The Little Mermaid's Jodi Benson), and a shelf filled with other Buzz Lightyears at Al's Toy Barn. 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.Riders in the Sky Music Medley" (3:08) delivers, as promised, a medley of songs featuring the quartet of costumed old cowboys. The act begins with the Riders at what appears to be Disneyland's Golden Horseshoe Saloon on a stage designed like the set of the puppet TV show. This makes its theme song (and the group's only tune in the movie) "Woody's Roundup" a perfect place to start. They follow with "Act Naturally" and then, joined by a cowgirl whose boots were made for dancing, sing "Jesse the Yodelin' Cowgirl." After crooning "Hey Howdy Hey", they head outside for their "nighttime at the ranch"-themed finale, a Western-style take on "You've Got a Friend in Me." Conveniently enough, all of these songs emanate from the Riders' 2000 album Woody's Roundup, a fact that does not go unnoticed. Clips from Toy Story 2 are sprinkled throughout the fast-moving, impressively-designed performances. Annual Grammy Nomination List". Variety. January 2, 2001.

Making Toy Story 2" (8:10) is a new featurette culled entirely from '90s footage, plenty of which appeared in a pair of Ultimate Toy Box featurettes that have been dropped. The bulk of it features interviews with the creative crew. In addition to plenty of film clips, it also provides a glimpse of voice recording sessions. One wishes there was more of that good stuff and some newly-filmed retrospection. But as the brief running time suggests, this is not an all-encompassing making-of piece or satisfying as a document of this stellar sequel's production. At least, though, it does reveal some of the rationale which sparked the movie's creation and drove it to excellence, such as the makers' maximizing of technological advances, respect for the original's quality and world, and retooling of the good ideas they previously had discarded for the first film.
