Part of it's success as a sequel had to do with the beleivable extension from the first movie. Had they created a more "realistic" environment/world for the characters, it would have felt a little incongruous. I read somewhere that the real "upgrades" were added by raising the level of imperfection that existed in the first movie. There are more scuffs and scratches on the toys; facial textures have more blemishes. The details are more easily overlooked, but subliminally help to suspend your disbelief. I've only seen it once, but having seen the other Pixar films a number of times, I knew what to pay close attention to as I watched TS2. Wonderful film-making again, and I eagerly await "Monsters, Inc."
