And it has not wasted its technical innovations on junk-food storytelling. This cutting-edge animation franchise still has the power to enchant children while keeping adults entertained. While its surface is as smooth and witty as that of ''Toy Story'' itself, the sequel and its characters (in the words of an associate technical director) are ''probably twice as complicated under the hood.'' Only after leaving the theater is there reason to realize just how much imagination has gone into making this film so enveloping. Among the many talents of the director, John Lasseter, and his huge crew of computer-animation pioneers is a gift for making their work look easy. ''Toy Story 2'' can be enjoyed - enormously - without wondering exactly why the Pixar animation looks even better than it did the first time.
