year in 1999, "Toy Story 2," Woody sat through a painful thought on transparent tape, said the old miner --I can not stop Andy from growing up , but I would not miss it for the world.
If you think about it, this line still fails to solve the problems raised by the old miners: Andy will grow up, will go to college, will have a girlfriend, and will joke with female colleagues in the company's boiling water room. These life experiences must be the impossible part of the toy.
Separation from the owner is actually the irreversible fate of every toy, no matter what important role you have played in each other's lives.
It's just that in the "advance" becoming a museum collection and "continuing" as the second choice for Andy's toy, the screenwriter used the technique of avoiding the most important to shift the key to the problem. Choose the latter and put off thinking about contradictions. This is how "Toy 2" ends in joy.
But now, this moment has finally arrived.

Pixar in recent years seems to be always in a bottleneck on the very wonderful, often thought-provoking strong grand opening proposition, the story travels to the middle but no unsustainable, especially after half an hour more prone colorful scenes, talks about the main line ran more to the Situation. Unable to catch up with a breath of pride, he set off thousands of waves, ups and downs concealing the traces of the loose chain. Of course, this cannot be completely said to be a bad screenwriter. It is really necessary to let a commercial animation that bears a heavy box office burden, sit down between the funny and the action, and discuss the principles and the results. It seems a bit embarrassing for them.
But people always walk out the way. This time, "Toy Story 3" didn't have a high start, and it even continued to use the question mentioned before: what will happen to the fate of the toys when the owner grows up. But with this constant chattering, "Toy 3" stepped into a completely new field of vision, and made a perfect summary of the emotions of the three parts in one go.

toys are children's partners, and even their only reliable existence in the unknowable world.
Adults are too lofty and TV changes too much, they are complex objects that can only be passively indoctrinated. Even children of the same age don’t have much experience in getting along. Zhiming cares about Chunjiao, and Yangzi loves to bully Ma Nan. Maybe the next day's attitude will be very different, so this makes the little "self" who has never learned to understand others puzzled. Only the toys at home are waiting for the owner's return without moving, and they never make the owner feel elusive. In them, children can project their own understanding of time and space, and build the prototype of the world in their hearts. For the first time I started to feel that I own it.
After possessing it, I will be nostalgic for it, and then I hope to continue like this. But now we should all know that a beautiful lie may be a beautiful lie from the beginning of a lifetime. In the process of change, all we can do is follow the change. The only difference is who is the strong side. Toys are always worried about Andy's change of heart, and it's not that they have never thought of taking the initiative to cut with Andy in order to get the initiative. Here, Hu Di is the only one who is trying to maintain a certain contract with Andy like a martyr. In the rules of toys, the duty is naturally to make children happy. When Andy was not a child, this contract should have expired long ago. But as "Andy's toy" survives, it is already Hu Di's values. So when he was happy in the arms of another owner, he still thought about Andy. So he will be speechless by anyone's cross-examination, but he still believes in his whole life.
This incompatible obsession completely breaks through the perspective of toys, enters a deeper psychological relationship, and also supports the sadness that pervades the whole movie all the time. In addition to the basic emotions that the 15-year trilogy is about to come to an end, this sadness also contains the reluctance of the creators to the best era in life (including some elements of the 70s). "Toy Story" opened a new era of three-dimensional animation feature films, opened Pixar's animation legend, and became the "Snow White" belonging to their group and generation. But most importantly, it makes everyone start to think about how much they have lost in their growth. Those toys not only witnessed the carefree days, but also witnessed the little child who once existed in this world. They have disappeared in everyone's heart.
The most surprising thing in "Toy 3" is the final fullness of Andy's character. As the master in the background of the story, in fact, even if the symbolic sense is stronger, it doesn't matter. All humans in MGM's "Cat and Mouse" have only one pair of feet. But when Andy took out his toys one by one from the box to the little girl, the flashbacks of memories that didn't need to appear seemed to be frozen in the void. We can see that he is really a good host, and he really spent time with toys. No wonder Woody has been desperate to love him for decades.
This is absolutely beyond a toy and a person.
Corruption retreats. What will happen to the fate of the
Four
Toys in the end? In addition to becoming garbage that no one wants to see, three options are given in "Toy 3" one after another.
1: Sheltered. Passively wait for the owner to come back one day to open the box for nostalgic play, or expect that the owner will give birth to a child, and then come and play together. But at the expense of the long loneliness, waiting for an unknown possibility is unacceptable for most toys. The white-headed palace lady is here, sitting idle and talking about Xuanzong. Toys only have their value when they are played. This is the main reason why Hu Di refuses to be a collection in "Toys 2". However, the update of toys is extremely fast, and children of each age also have their own trends and preferences. If the father can't help but force his son to watch the Smurfs instead of the Pleasant Goat, he always feels that something is wrong.
2: Go to kindergarten. Waiting in the playroom for different children every day to pamper you. But there is a problem here. Except for the helpless status quo of young children who don't cherish toys, toys in the playroom do not really interact with children for a long time. Children grow up and leave in batches. Toys only contribute their "functions", and they will never have the sense of mutual companionship as a child's personal toy. So no wonder Hu Di insisted on returning to Andy after seeing the beautiful scenery of Sunshine Kindergarten "prosperous".
3: Change to a new owner. Of course, the premise is that this is a good host. A competent master can bring so many warm memories to the toy and continue the joy. Once the careless owner over-materializes the toy, it will naturally hurt the toy's heart deeply. This kind of damage eventually cultivated the darkest character in the movie. This can’t really say whose fault it was. The purpose of children’s behavior is the simplest and most direct, so they are the easiest to be cruel.
We are all moving slowly, and we are taught to be considerate by the pain of constant collisions. But at the same time, we also learn to dodge better and become an island more independently. We no longer torture toys, but finally we no longer need toys. This is the most ironic for toys, but it is also a maneuver for us humans.
Fifth
, the problems in "Toy 3" are not solved so beautifully. Everyone can be satisfied, but they can't let go. The screenwriter just used his own ability to arrange the most beautiful destination for the protagonist's toys, but everyone knew in their hearts that this could not be the end of all the toys in the world.
But, at least it can put a little warmth to the audience. Stick to what you believe, even if you have lost it.
At the same time, it is clearly told to the audience that in fact, everyone should be themselves, and then the good things will be passed on. That's it.
The
shape of the six characters remains the same, but the progress in the details is naturally different. Human characters have maintained a relatively "fake" texture, but their hair has advanced by leaps and bounds. The stereoscopic 3D effect is very inconspicuous. If you don't plan to choose a giant screen, just look at the regular version. There are still long stories after the subtitles period, so you don’t need to get up.
