5----
6* The opening sequence with the Buzz Lightyear video game. Rex has some mad gaming skills despite his stubby arms. His complaint that his arms impede his gameplay also means that Rex was probably playing the game in a difficulty similar to a typical Kaizo rom hack of an SNES game.
7** In the video game adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'', you actually get the chance to play that [[ShowWithinAShow fictional]] video game! Awesome, isn't it?
8** Buzz also mentions that Rex is a better "Buzz" than him, meaning that even with his handicap, Rex still manages to be the better player despite Buzz having a physical advantage.
9* Andy's Mom refusing to sell Woody to Al at the yard sale despite him giving her some pretty high offers for a children's toy. Mom not only turns him down but is smart enough to lock Woody in a box so that someone won't come along and steal her son's favorite toy. It doesn't work, but points for trying.
10* "Woody's Finest Hour" escaping from the plane.
11-->'''Jessie''': (once Woody pops open the emergency hatch) ''You sure about this?!''
12-->'''Woody''': ''[[IndyPloy No! Let's go!]]''
13** The true crowning moment comes from Bullseye, who managed to keep pace with a ''jet liner''.
14* Buzz talking some sense into Woody, reversing their roles in the first movie.
15--> '''Buzz''': Woody, stop this nonsense, and let's go.
16--> '''Woody''': Ah, Buzz. (''sighs'') I can't go. I can't abandon these guys. They need me to get into this museum. Without me, they'll go back into storage, maybe forever.
17--> '''Buzz''': Woody, you're not a collector's item. [[CallBack You're a child's plaything. You are A TOY!]]
18--> '''Woody''': For how much longer? One more rip, and Andy's done with me. And what do I do then, Buzz? Huh? You tell me!
19--> '''Buzz''': Somewhere in that pad of stuffing is a toy who taught me that life's only worth living if you're being loved by a kid. And I traveled all this way to rescue that toy because I ''believed'' him.
20--> '''Woody''': Well, you wasted your time. (...) I don't have a choice, Buzz. This is my only chance.
21--> '''Buzz''': [[ArmorPiercingQuestion To do what, Woody? Watch kids from behind glass and never be loved again?]] Some life.
22* Jessie's final scene where she demonstrates Buzz's favorite method of crossing the room (flying) just to open the door. And obviously has so much fun doing it.
23** [[AmazonChaser Buzz]] is so impressed, his [[SomethingElseAlsoRises wings pop up]].
24* Woody's rescue of Wheezy (done with only one working arm no less).
25** The fact he does so using Buster, and even has him obey his every command perfectly, despite it being implied the human owners have failed to remotely train him.
26* Buzz figuring out the thief's identity from two minimal clues: a VanityLicensePlate reading "LZTYBRN" and a bunch of feathers that fell from his car trunk.
27** The toys tracking where to find Woody at Al's Toy Barn: Hamm scans the TV channels at breakneck speed to find Al's commercial, and Etch stands at the ready to quick-draw a map when Al announces the address.
28* Buzz and co. blinding Stinky Pete with cameras to save Woody, then proceeding to dump ol' Pete in the backpack of an "artist".
29--> '''Woody''': [[BondOneliner Happy trails, Prospector.]]
30* The battle between the other Buzz and Zurg. To the audience and the other toys (except for Rex, of course), they look like idiots. To the two of them, it's a battle between a Space Ranger and his ArchEnemy TheEmperor, with laser shots and ion blasts filling the air.
31** The moment when Zurg makes his entrance, rising into view of the group on the roof of the elevator car, the light from the hatch illuminating him from behind, and declares "So, we meet again, Buzz Lightyear -- for the last time!" Palpatine himself would be proud of such an introduction.
32* This one is subtle: Other Buzz works his way rung-by-rung up the elevator shaft, so to speak, dragging the other toys below him. He visibly struggles with each inch when we see him later, then we see he'd gotten about halfway between the 22nd and 23rd floor. In fact, if you look carefully when the camera cuts back to him, he managed to reach the 14th floor. Let's go over that again... he'd scaled the elevator shaft, from the ground floor, ''to the 14th floor''. '''And this was while burdened with the other toys' weight'''. That deserves some props for that level of strength and endurance.
33* Woody's PreAssKickingOneLiner to Stinky Pete:
34-->'''Woody:''' HEY! ''NO ONE DOES THAT TO '''MY FRIEND!'''''
35* Buzz reuniting with the group and proving beyond a shadow of a doubt he's the Buzz they all know and love by silently lifting the other Buzz's helmet up causing him to gasp for air (just like Buzz himself did in the first one) and then lifting up his foot with Andy's name on it.
36* That scene. You know the one. The one with the old man (Geri from the Pixar short, "Geri's Game") fixing Woody. His old, shaking hands and his clear near-sightedness make the audience nervous at first, but the instant he actually begins his work, we see that he has an incredibly skilled, practiced, and gentle hand, causing all worries to rapidly fade away.
37* Buzz's RousingSpeech when the other toys are about to call it quits.
38--> '''Buzz''': Good work, men. Two blocks down and only 19 more to go.
39--> '''Potato Head''': What?!
40--> '''Slinky and Hamm''': 19?!
41--> '''Potato Head''': Are we gonna do this all night? My parts are killing me!
42--> '''Buzz''': Come on, fellas. Did Woody give up when Sid had me strapped to a rocket?
43--> '''Toys''': No.
44--> '''Buzz''': No! And did he give up when you threw him out of the back of that moving van?
45--> '''Potato Head''': Oh, you had to bring that up.
46--> '''Buzz''': (as the [[NationalAnthem Star Spangled Banner]] begins to swell and appear behind him) No, he didn't! We have a friend in need, and we will not rest until he's safe in Andy's room! Now let's move out!
47* We have the toys working together to '''drive a car''' — by stealing a Pizza Planet truck, to be precise — to get to the airport in time.
48* Mr. Potato Head grabbing the 3 little aliens JUST as they were about to fly out of the Pizza Planet truck. No wonder they kept pestering him about how they were eternally grateful.
49** This becomes even more awesome in hindsight, as by saving the LGM, Mr. Potato Head indirectly helped save everyone from the incinerator in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3''.
50* Also from Mr. Potato Head, his [[Film/{{Goldfinger}} Oddjob]] moment where he quickly flings his hat perfectly between the front doors of the building to stop them closing.
