The Animated Movie : Film Analysis Of The Toy Story

Out of all of the great examples that we had observed, I picked the scene when the three characters from Toy story 2 had thought of an idea to cross the busy street while a cone over there head making them out of site. While the toys had cross the road, regular sized cars are immediately stopped due to the toys crossing the street making the driver think that they need to stop. Later, when they are about half way to the other side, a big semi-truck with a load in the back see’s the large orange cones which made him stop instantly. The truck then stopped making the trailer sling forward which made the load come off the truck and almost smashing the toys. Then the toys continued walking to the other side and making a successful trip to the other

The animated motion pictures Toy Story and Shrek use an array of underlying messages and themes to provoke emotion within the observer. Mutually, Toy Story and Shrek use the same theme of friendship to promote the importance of maintaining healthy relationships with those individuals surrounding you. The technique of characterisation is used vigorously within each film, as it helps viewers to feel connected to the characters, and understand the underlying messages. Each film is used to present the importance of friendship; showcasing the effects that companionship can have on individuals. In the film Shrek, the protagonist Shrek is used to exude a hostile dismay toward companionship, and showcases the negative effects relationships can have on you. Shrek is compelled by his resentment and loneliness in life, and takes that out on

My research assignment # 1 I picked the movie “ Monsters , inc “ by Pixar teamed up with disney, the director was pete Docter in 2001 the movie was first released ,the movie will be 16 years old today. when first came out the movie was a big hit. This movie is showed through the eyes of the two monsters , as the movie goes on ,the two main characters learns that they should not be scared of something you do not understand, at the end of the movie they both learn overcome they fear.

Imagine your biggest nightmare facing death. Now imagine the same nightmare but with your life along with your best friends and loved one life on the line. That is how it is for heroes such as Woody. All your decisions leading up to one death defining event. Which you hope all those decisions were the best you could have made. Then, finally at the last moment, while you are tasting death, you escape. This is the type of experiences hero’s go through. Therefore, in the film, Toy Story 3, the storyteller uses the hero’s journey and a mentor to reveal that we as humans want our heroes to be courageous and determined, because society wants our heros to overcome challenges and learn from their past experiences.

Despite being one of the most popular, if not most popular, animated movies of all-time, Toy Story offers a limited perspective when it comes to gender because of manhood acts, homosociality, and stereotypes. The manhood acts in the film suppress women at the same time as they support the hegemonic masculinity, which is the masculinity that actively attempts to suppress women and inferior masculinities (Bird pg. 129). When the male characters in the movie do this, it approves of this negative behavior that limits the voice of the female characters. Additionally, the lack of female characters causes the film to portray homosociality, which prevents young girls from seeing a variety of representations of women in the toys. Also, the stereotypes in the movie reduce women to second class citizens. Both male and female stereotypes in the movie support the hegemonic masculinity. Ultimately, the depiction of manhood acts, homosociality, and stereotypes in the film, Toy Story, actively support the hegemonic masculinity at the expense of other gender identities.

Toy Story is the groundbreaking 1995 motion picture developed by Disney and Pixar and directed by John Lasseter. The film was so revolutionary not only because it was the first feature length animation to be created completely by CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) but also, also the film was more rounded in all respects. The characters not only looked more sophisticated and three-dimensional but their personalities were also more human and fewer cartoons like. The film uses a constructed text in order to put across a theme of two very different characters learning to work together beyond their rivalries to rise above a common enemy and work towards a common goal. The film uses characters and imagery very cleverly to

In the graphic novel Stuck Rubber Baby, the protagonist Toland Park deals with his own issues of sexual identity in the backdrop of the historical Kennedy years. His coming out story ties in a cast of supporting characters who supplement Toland’s odyssey. One especially important character is Ginger Raines, Toland’s first significant girlfriend. Toland’s journey hinges on his relationship with Ginger, for her character and her relationship with Toland symbolized what society — as well as Toland —considered normal at the time. It is not until he lives past his relationship with Ginger, that he completely and utterly realizes the genuineness of his homosexuality. Indeed, his relationship with Ginger is momentous, however, the psychological reasons that led Toland into this relationship, and the sociological factors that led him away from this relationship are equally as alluring. The cause of this relationship is the offspring of the values instilled into Toland both by his family and the cultural norms of the time. These norms consisted primarily of the idea of the nuclear family, the pervasive mindset of the time period. These contingencies were also paired with the burden of living up to societal norms. Ultimately, these led Toland to ultimately seek shelter in a heterosexual relationship, from the torment social ostracism.

The 2015 Disney-Pixar animated film “Inside Out” is the story of an 11-year-old girl named Riley and the personified emotions that shape and control her personality. The movie is a wonderful example of the functional analysis theoretical perspective of sociology, also known as structural functionalism or, simply, functionalism, in that it illustrates a society (in this case, the young girl Riley) can maintain equilibrium only when its component parts (the emotions/characters of Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust, and Anger) are each present and fulfilling their assigned functions.

Pixar’s Inside Out is an interesting take on how our emotions work as well as how our brains operate. The story starts off with a narration by Joy, voiced by Amy Poehler, explaining how her job works, and how she and the other emotions came to be inside the mind of young Riley Anderson. The emotions watch and guide Riley by influencing how she reacts to different daily situations. The only thing the emotions are not prepared for however, is an unexpected move from Minnesota to San Francisco (Inside Out). This hilarious take at how our brains work allows Inside Out to create an entertaining and engaging movie using character interaction and its deeper emotional and psychological meanings.

Toy Story 3 uses all of the same ingredients that were used on the previous two films, insuring its success. It has action, comedy, and drama. And the last fifteen minutes of the film add a little throat-tightening pathos, a pinch of eye-misting nostalgia. It is the perfect ending to an amazing trilogy. It is filled with heart-warming messages

This movie is amazing and inspirational to other young black women, it shows that you many struggle but if you keep going your dreams and hard work will be recognize. This film touch on the gender norms and racial norms, which has strong connection to the four reading I choice to critical review this blog. This movie has strong connection to the Gaga Feminism theory, the concept is “a set of wholesale changes that may be most obvious in the realm of gender norms but that also stretch too many other realms of everyday experience and that call for improvisational feminism that keeps pace with the winds of political change.” Hidden-figures proved that Black women can do whatever they want if they put their mind to it. This is breaking down what society has deem as the normal way of doing this.

When seeing any movie, there is a special message behind each film that the creators want the viewers to notice. DreamWorks and Pixar are two respectable film studios’ that have created many successful films throughout the years. The two film studios main goal is to send a positive message to its audience. In the films “Megamind” and “Wreck it Ralph” there is a common theme shown in both films, which is redemption. The films have a story of origin on how the main characters established themselves as villains, desire to fit into society and becoming a hero towards the end. Yet, the key differences in the films are the circumstances that the main characters decided to become heroes and how the studios decided to portray the overall tone in the film.

Pixar Animation Studios was founded in 1979, initially specializing in producing state of the art computer hardware (Carlson, 2003). In 1990, due to poor product sales the company diversified from its core business and began producing computer animated commercials for outside companies.
