Thematic Analysis Of The Movie 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

Collectivity is shown in the move when Buzz and Woody, the replaced toy, accidentally set off on an adventure and are forced to work together to overcome many obstacles. At one point in the movie, they are trapped in a claw machine and have to find a way out. Although their plan to escape the claw machine goes very south, Woody still tries to help out Buzz. Halberstam would focus on the scene when Buzz and Woody are “won” by Sid the Bully, one of the antagonists in the movie, they are brought to his house and are selected as the ‘lucky’ patients in Sid’s next toy surgery; Buzz and Woody yet again must come together to get out of this horrible predicament. A couple of scenes later they are seen trying to fight of a group of toys who have already been operated upon by Sid but Buzz and Woody do not know that these toys are just like them. They also want to escape from the horrible prison they have been placed in but cannot due to their deformation, so they work together to help out Woody and Buzz escape. Halberstam would notice the change of character the ‘evil’ toys undergo because Halberstam believes that most CGI films include characters that are failures, the deformed toys, and then become great due to their

Ralphie wants his BB gun so bad that he even goes as far as being deceptive towards his brother by telling him he wants a Sandy Andy toy instead of the BB gun (Shepard 479). Ralphie knows that if he tells his little brother he wants a Sandy Andy, his brother will not copy his desire for the BB gun and his chances for getting his BB gun will increase. His mother tells him that he will “shoot one of [his] eyes out” throughout the short story, but Ralphie continues to find different ways to hint that the toy is perfect for him so he can still get his beloved BB gun for Christmas (480). Ralphie’s consistent banter for the BB gun is a prime example of how the toy industry’s marketing is successful. Marwick explains that “advertising aimed at kids deliberately undermines the parent-child relationship, by encouraging children to nag their parents for what they want” (2). Children are taught to continue to ask for the toys they want and they will get them in time just as Ralphie gets his glorious BB gun for Christmas. Children can easy fall into the marketing strategies of toy

“Life is unfair”, a statement everyone knows. Life is different from one person to another, creating different people as an outcome. That person or outcome determines where we fit in other people’s lives. Lotso from Toy Story 3, is an outsider because he was seen as the villain since he prevented other people (or toys) from their happiness. According to Michael Arndt’s screenplay, “Daisy loves us all, but… Lotso was special. … [Their] worst fears come true … The forgotten toys remained … Lotso wouldn’t give up. It took forever. … by then, it was too late. … beside [Daisy was] a brand-new Lotso Bear. …” (Arndt 73-74). This proves Lotso is an outsider because he was beloved, but he was left behind and forgotten, replaced by another bear, leaving

“I still collect toys.Toys are a reflection of society. They are the tools that society uses to teach and enculturate children into the adult world. Toys are not innocent.” (Burden). When you think of toys you probably think about dolls or Hot Wheels. What you probably don’t know is the toys can vary into anything. Toys are usually used to entertain yourself, but what if they represent more than just that. It can be a famous cite, make you question society, or just make you think about how we’re treating each other. Anything can be a toy. You just have to be creative to make it more than a toy. Chris Burden, an amazing artist famously known for creating artwork that reflect on society, used toys in most of his work. Burden is famously known
