The Toy Story Films From Pixar

In the past years, Disney/Pixar has revolutionized the premise of their movies by shifting away from princesses and portraying resilient male characters as the protagonists of their highly successful animated feature films. From 1995 to 2008, Disney/Pixar released eight films, all of which included a male lead, yet these characters are arguably unlike any other protagonist in early Disney animated films. In their essay, “Post-Princess Models of Gender: The New Man in Disney/Pixar,” Ken Gillam and Shannon R. Wooden call attention to the new manner Disney/Pixar use to depict their heroic male characters in their movies. Gillam and Wooden claim that Pixar is using their movies to promote the acceptance of a new standard of masculinity capable of embracing feminine traits, as conveyed by the male characters within the films. As a viewer, it is easy to recognize the emasculation of the male protagonists within Pixar movies, however, the authors’ claim is faulty; they fail to acknowledge that society now has room for a new sympathetic man because it is straying way from a patriarchal beliefs of the past.

His behavior was getting out of control as well. It was like a flip of a switch that set him off. When he was punched in the face by a smaller guy in front of his friends. He ran home and was wiping his lip off from the blood that was there. He was in the kitchen and was looking for a knife as a result of remembering what Tony said “If someone disrespects you, you send a message so fierce that they won’t have the chance to do it again” (Moore 33). Woody knew that Wes took it to heart and was trying to divert his attention. To no avail, he was already outside where the group was hanging out not knowing the cops were there. I Moreover, we shouldn’t become someone who we are not.

The movie continues and it is Jim’s first day in his new high school and he feels anxious. Buzz is the tormentor at the

Woody, who wanted to go back home to Andy and his friends, was hesitant to agree to go to Japan. The Prospector then became afraid of going back into storage when he was so close to freedom and made it his personal goal to keep Woody from leaving. Stinky Pete then became a sympathetic villain here because the actions and decisions he made were all from a fear of being alone and in a box for the rest of his life. The prospector then with all his power uses any method to try to keep Woody from returning home which leads him to use the first rhetorical appeal, ethos.

As they are all escaping the daycare, Lotso approaches and pushes them into the dumpster. Thankfully for Woody, the baby expresses his good heart and throws in Lotso into the dumpster with them. Sadly, the dumpster was just picked up and was off to the landfill. As they were fighting to get out of the landfill before the big fire, Lotso escapes and leave Woody behind. Woody and his friends were doomed, but at the last second the claw came down (controlled by the Aliens), and were picked them up and brought to safety. Finally, Woody returned and brought the gift of, being a hero to his friends, and the gift of remembering his past mistakes. The hero's journey in Toy Story 3 was expressed through the toy cowboy: Woody. Throughout his journey, he learned to be courageous and to be determined. As he was being taught through the journey and by the mentor he was learning how to become a hero. Without this key journey, the story of the movie would not be the same. Instead, the path of the story could have been accepting your mistakes because of the mistake of going to daycare. But from the journey, he learned a different lesson and is now a hero for helping his friends get out of the daycare.

Toy Story 2 deals with both sides of the conflict surrounding ‘identity versus confusion’, typically occurring during adolescence between the ages of 12 and 18 (Cherry, 2016). Towards the beginning of the film, an incident occurs in which Woody’s arm is torn by Andy. From here, Woody is placed on a shelf, segregated from Andy and the rest of the group. Visible and dramatic facial expression to exaggerate his emotions to the younger viewers. Audible confusion and sadness as Woody exclaims ‘Andy!’ and the body language implies his confusion regarding his personal identity, as well as not being sure about himself or his place in society (McLeod, 2013) In relation to the humans in this film, when Woody’s arm is torn, his self-worth has decreased

Bud and his friend, Bugs, are told by a caseworker at breakfast that they have found a foster home for them. When the boys groan the caseworker tells them, that the nation is in a depression and that it is lucky that they will have families. Bud was locked in a shed by his foster family. He mistakes a hornets nest for a vampire bat and strikes it with a rake, and gets stung many times. Bud runs away from his foster family, or as Bud says he is "on the lam". Bud walks to the library basement, but he finds that they are barred. Bud figures he can sleep under the Christmas tree. When Bud awakens, he runs to the missions to eat breakfast. When Bud gets there, a man tells him that he is too late. But another man tells him to go back on line with

Ilana Gluzman Ms.Miller English II, Period 6 09 September 2015 Sometimes leadership takes years to learn, and other times it takes a few boys and an adventure. In the novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding, Golding demonstrates how when faced with the necessity of survival, desperation can cause irrational decisions. Younger children these days tend to think that life is a little more exciting and adventurous without adults; however, this viewpoint soon transforms into something greater when the boys are stranded by themselves without any supervision and have to survive on their own. But in order to hold themselves together, the boys must develop new life skills, outlast fear of the unknown, and maintain order until they are rescued.

As many may know, Jessie from Toy Story is a country girl but that obviously isn't how I would relate myself to her. What I do see in her that I see in myself is how she is very friendly and tends to get along with everyone. We see through all three movies that Jessie is very close to pretty much every character. Although every toy has very different personalities she tends to connect with every single one of them in some way. By the way she talks and jokes around with people we see that she is very outgoing. In scenes like when she meets Woody and gets to introduce him to others or when it's their first day at daycare. We see then that she gets super excited to meet

Toy Story 3 is about the toys try hard to get back to their owner after making a mistake. Andy is 17 year old who will head off to college. He loves his toys very much. He tries to keep them in the attic and takes Woody with him. The toys misunderstand him and flee to Sunnyside Daycare.

Girls liked playing with toy dolls that they could make say and do what ever they wanted, and they could live in a fantasy world with their friends. Boys liked playing with their toy trucks and tools because it was fun to run things over and play with toys in the dirt, or with the tools, they act like they could actually be like older boys or their fathers and build stuff. Neither one of the toys that the boys played with seemed that it would scar them for life. With Barbie they more and more have made her a more positive role model by having her say encouraging things. So when it comes down to it, how a young boy plays with his toys is the same as how a young girl plays with her Barbie’s because they both just want to have fun with a toy, and they can make it do whatever they wanted. Young children could have control over something which both genders liked to do.

As the years went on and I got older the focus shifted away from playing with toys so much as teaching me things that every guy should know how to do; changing tires on a car, learning to change the oil, fixing a leak in roof and other seeming stereotypical handyman tasks. Even though these weren’t hours spent playing with toys that had long been tucked away in a closet, I enjoyed them none the

Due to the loss of his position as Andy’s favorite toy, Woody is overcome with jealousy and pushes his challenger, Buzz, out the window. Because of this, the toys that once looked up to Woody turn against him and begin to look at Buzz as their leader. After this,

This study examines how leadership, teamwork, and organizational learning can contribute in making mergers and acquisitions work. Our intention is to identify critical factors and practices needed for merger success. Our research is part of an ongoing project, and builds on previous analysis of merger success/failure in such organizations as Standard Oil, Exxon Mobile, and Time Warner-AOL. In this paper, we turn our attention to the recent merger of Pixar and Disney. In our view, the Disney-Pixar case seems to be a good example of a successful merger in progress. This is demonstrated very clearly by recent box office successes such as Academy Award

At the beginning of the first movie, Woody is his owner Andy’s favorite toy and they are inseparable. This is true until Andy gets a new toy – action figure Buzz Lightyear. Over the course of the movie, tensions rise and Woody grows jealous of Buzz, even though Buzz does not have any intention of doing wrong. However, by the end of the movie, they have become the best of friends. As an only child for more than four years, I am told that I showed some jealously when my sister arrived. This eventually turned to undying love for her, just as Woody and Buzz's relationship deepened.
