Andy calling the toys "junk" can be pretty shocking for first-time viewers. It becomes even sadder if you look at it from the toys' perspective. Barbie crying in the donation box on the way to Sunnyside after being put in there by Molly. Not as sad as Jessie's backstory from the previous movie, but still relatable.
Andy saying goodbye to his toys conjures up nostalgic guilt about growing up and leaving behind once cherished childhood toys. It's a cathartic scene that lets viewers know this is something others experience and everything will be okay, but it's still incredibly sad.
The first is the toys' imprisonment at Sunnyside Daycare, a preschool where the franchise's protagonists are barbarically mistreated. The fact that the toys can't escape Sunnyside, and are kept there by an uncaring overseer (Lotso), is the first of Toy Story 3's major Holocaust parallels.
In addition, "Toy Story 3" can also be an incredibly dark film at times - a bold move considering that this is a family film - but there's no need to worry because the fact is that it's all perfectly balanced out amazingly well with some very light-hearted humor, fast and furious action scenes, and stirring emotional ...
It's also the quintessential example of a kids' movie that's really for adults. Though there's a great deal to recommend Toy Story 3, its lasting reputation is as a deceptively deep and dark tearjerker. But the film, including that infamous and terrifying climax, almost didn't happen.
Many consider the four Toy Story films to be the best Pixar movies and while all of them had plenty of emotional and heartbreaking moments, none was as sad as Toy Story 3. Most Pixar fans agree that the third Toy Story movie is the most emotional one, and it's the one that made most viewers cry.
There's very little in the way of love and compassion, and LOTS in the way of 90's cynicism. Avoid this one for pre-elementary kids, and wait until they're older if you feel like you need to watch. Recommended alternative: "Monsters, Inc." -- a much sweeter story with good-hearted characters and a positive message.
Set after the third film, Toy Story 4 follows Woody (Hanks) and Buzz Lightyear (Allen) as the pair and the other toys go on a road trip with Bonnie (Madeleine McGraw), who creates Forky (Hale), a spork made with recycled materials from her school.
The brothers say they had to re-shoot some of the scenes they filmed early on because the two had become much more skilled with their work. And coincidentally the brothers had to switch on and off filming because they were attending college and no longer had as much time for their toys.
Toy Story 4 fills its runtime with questions of existentialism, not unlike the three films before it, but in its final moments, a purpose is determined and a course is presumably set: Woody, accepting that he'd rather explore the world with Bo Peep than be relegated to a closet by Bonnie, makes the decision to go ...
The franchise began with Andy and his toys who came to life. It's only right that both the audience and the characters had a chance to say goodbye to Andy and feel closure with his journey. Toy Story 3 handled this perfectly with Andy giving his toys to Bonnie and showing how much they meant to him.
The video called the upcoming Toy Story film the “saddest Disney movie ever made,” explaining that the story revolved around all of Andy's toys. Bonnie has now become too old to play with them, and they're put into storage.
Producer Jonas Rivera added that at least right now, the team behind the film considers Toy Story 4 to be the last Toy Story movie. "This was the final chapter.
Though Toy Story 4 concludes by showing an excited Woody ready to explore a new chapter in his life, this ending is not as happy as the final scene would lead fans to believe. Over the Toy Story franchise's decades-long run, the series has consistently defined the purpose of a toy.
The Toy Story franchise consists mainly of five CGI-animated feature films: Toy Story (1995), Toy Story 2 (1999), Toy Story 3 (2010), Toy Story 4 (2019), and the spin-off film within a film Lightyear (2022). A fifth film was recently announced.
Some children, especially younger children in this age group, might be frightened by some of the scenes from Toy Story 4 mentioned above. It's unlikely that children aged 8-13 years will be frightened by scenes in Toy Story 4. It's unlikely that children over 13 years will be frightened by anything in Toy Story 4.
On November 22nd, 2020, Disney Pixar's Toy Story turned 25 years old. Toy Story was Pixar's first full-length film, and the first-ever completely CGI animated movie.
Some yelling. LANGUAGE 0 - None. DISCUSSION TOPICS - Being forgotten by loved ones, collecting toys, greed, friendship. MESSAGE - Toys are meant to be played with and loved, not collected and sold.
Toy Story 5 has been confirmed and is currently in active development, according to Disney CEO Bob Iger, but the release date is still unknown. There are rumors that the character Andy may return in Toy Story 5, sparking mixed reactions from fans who believe his story was already completed in Toy Story 3.
Toy Story 3 is still better: Toy Story 4 felt more like a new beginning than an ending. With a new cast of characters taking center stage and a new chapter of the Toy Story saga being opened up, Toy Story 4 felt more like a spin-off, or the start of a brand-new Toy Story trilogy.
I thought there was no way I could ever EVER get more emotional than that during a Toy Story movie. Well, Toy Story 4 was full of its own emotional moments. Ones that made me laugh, ones that made me cheer, and ones that made me cry (a lot).
