![]() ![]() I couldn't tell you which one made her cry more - a story relating to her kids finally leaving her to go to college, or reminiscing about simpler days when we were innocent children. After we saw Toy Story 3 and she lost it in the theater, we went home and watched the original. My dog made it through the trilogy of Toy Story movies with us as well, and grew up with me for 14 years until she died last November.īut for my mom, the movies really hit home. Granted, I have a twin sister and not a younger sister, but we even got a dog at the same time as Andy did. I grew up with the movies coinciding with my life. ![]() ![]() For her, the Toy Story movies represent my childhood. I thought I was going to be sad, until my mom sat next to me and cried through the whole movie. I'm just young enough to have Toy Story 3 come out the year I graduated from high school. Then you can see that light at the end of the tunnel and something just threatens to take it away!Įdit 2: TL DR Saw Toy Story Triology as an adult, reminds me of love and family. I know what it's like to just have life seem as if it's not moving forward at all, or perhaps everything is just going completely wrong, and everything it just depressing because of it. This trilogy really touched my heart, and I will cherish it forever.Įdit to add: I can also see myself as Jessica in the 2nd movie "I don't wanna go back in the dark!" Oh man. The "toys" got a new chance at life living with her. I know what it feels like to give up a part of myself up like that, but he knows that it's worth it if he can give that little girl the joy he experienced. Finally, like a lot of us, I can see myself as Andy as he gives away his toys to the little girl. My Ego trip can be as bad as Buzz's before he realizes he's a toy. I'm caring, and will always be there for my friends, like Woody. It may not be what you expect, but it could be much better than what you expect.Ĭharacters I can see myself as: I'm very flirtatious, like Bo Peep. One thing I got out of the transition from Andy's house to the little girl's house is that you never know what the future is going to hold.

In the 3rd movie, at the dump with the incinerator. It was more than just a "toy story", it was a trilogy about the love of a family made of imperfect "people" working together through love. In essence, these sort of friends who love of this deeply are more than friends, they are our family through love, as the toys recognized themselves as a family. They are not fooled by the mistakes we made or the dark images we hold about ourselves, but rather they remember our beauty when we feel ugly, our wholeness when we are broken, our innocence when we feel guilty, and our purpose when we are confused. They know you may not be perfect, but they see you for who you truly are. He later comes out of it with the help of Woody, as the people who love you will always help you in these hard times. I had to laugh when Buzz had his psychotic break resulting from this realization, as I too know what it's like to struggle with depression. We all have to go through this realization. This could be from your first break-up with "the one", not passing a crucial course, or perhaps being let go from your first dream job. To me, when Buzz Lightyear discovered he was "just a toy", it was coming to a realization that we (as humans) are not as glorious as our ego sometimes leads us to believe, rather we are flawed and imperfect. But, as I am older and the Toy Story trilogy is one of the best of all time, I decided to rewatch it as an adult. ![]() Yeah, I was emotionally a late bloomer, so I never fully liked Toy Story movies growing up. ![]()
