Disney’s Toy Story 2: Digital Coloring Book transforms the movie's universe into an interactive coloring book designed primarily for children. It does not offer an adventure with specific objectives or a unique storyline; instead, its appeal lies in revisiting scenes and characters from *Toy Story 2* while players add their own splash of color.

The experience centers on a collection of digital illustrations inspired by the feature film. Players can select a scene—including images of the toys in recognizable situations from the movie—and work on it using various coloring tools. Some pages appear initially in black and white, ready to be filled in, while others display pre-colored examples. The interface depicts an open book on a desk, with options arranged around the page, reinforcing the feeling of flipping through an activity book.
The gameplay is simple and unhurried: select a drawing, choose colors, and apply them to different areas of the illustration. There is no combat, scoring, or competitive mode; the goal is to experiment, complete the images, and enjoy the creative process. Given its design, it functions more like a digital art activity than a traditional video game, offering younger players a pressure-free way to practice using a mouse and explore color combinations.
The program was released for Windows in 1999 as an educational title, developed by ImageBuilder Software and published by Disney Interactive. Its CD-ROM format reflects an era when movie tie-ins spawned not only action or platform games but also home-based products focused on creative activities. The appeal here lies not in expanding the film's plot, but in turning its settings and characters into pages ready to be colored. Today, it stands out as a curious entry within the more laid-back side of the *Toy Story* catalog—an experience free of major challenges, yet possessing the charm of its artwork, a picture-book aesthetic, and the freedom to color however one likes. It is ideal for those seeking a brief, relaxing retro experience, especially if they enjoy creative activities featuring familiar characters.
