One afternoon more than 20 years ago, my mother bought me the movie VCD of "Toy Story". At that time, I didn't realize the significance of this animated film to Disney, Pixar or even the entire animation film industry, let alone " There will be three “Toy Story” series, and I will not really complete the bond with this series of films until 20 years later.
My childhood was not so colorful and colorful. Because of my parents, I was sent from elementary school to an all-boarding school that was a bit "aristocratic" at the time. I spent 6 days a week in school. In fact, for me Time at school is far happier than at home. Because the parents are basically away from home after school every Friday. As for the other children in the community, I disappeared 6 days a week as a stranger and couldn't play together.
However, I have long been used to boarding life, and I can tolerate the thoughts of my parents. What is it that I can’t play with a group of little kids as Ultraman and monsters, and even if I participate in it, I must be the one to play monsters. Get beaten. So for me, it’s more comfortable to watch all kinds of cartoons at home, and although my parents don’t have time to accompany me, the material compensation is almost responsive when I feel guilty. Various cartoon CDs, There are genuine and pirated copies both at home and abroad. Among them, my favorite is "Toy Story".
I can’t remember how many times I have watched "Toy Story", weekends alone at home or long winter and summer vacations, and when I feel bored and lonely, I will open the VCD cabinet and revisit "Toy Story", which is a genuine Disney CD. The quality is really good. After playing so many times, the back of the disc is still full of brilliance under the light without any flaws. Now, if I bought a pirated version, I might not have the same feeling as it is today.
In this way, week after week, month after month, "Toy Story" accompanied most of the blanks in my childhood. I am very familiar with every character, story, and dialogue in the movie. I can even say the next line while watching it. Buzz Lightyear is my favorite character, "Fly into space, the universe "Infinite" is really cool. During that time with "Toy Story", I felt that I was Andy. All the toys were my best friends, bringing warmth and allowing my childhood to be full and splendid in another dimension. It is There is no substitute for my childhood.
So when I learned that there were Part 2 and Part 3, I refused to watch it, because the story of "Toy Story" was perfect for me. Hu Di and Buzz Lightyear went through hardships and finally returned to their masters. There is no more perfect happyending around, and the launch of the sequel is meaningless. In the subconscious mind, I have actually guessed that it is different from the time-locked feature of Japanese comics. In the sequel, Disney will inevitably take the contradiction between Andy's growth and toys as the main line, and the separation of the plot is inevitable. , I cannot accept this, let alone bear it. For me, as long as I haven't watched the sequel, "Toy Story" is not over. The toys will always live happily with Andy, and my childhood will always be locked in that moment, never dimmed.
But in the end I watched it. Maybe it was some kind of fate or some kind of opportunity. On the weekend, my wife and I watched the trilogy at home in one breath. After watching the first one, I could give my wife a little spoiler and share the joy of regaining childhood memories with her. When the third one, I Has completely lost control, from crying silently to crying. When I saw Andy bring the packed toys to the neighbor girl and bid farewell, my childhood was completely over. In those afternoons, I put the CD into the DVD player alone, and sat in front of the TV expectantly. Although the story and dialogue were repeated after watching and watching, the excited child wanted to say goodbye to me.
My wife looked at me, crying like this in her arms, at a loss. Perhaps it was the first time I saw me so fragile after knowing me, but when I calmed down, I didn’t know how to explain to her. all of these. Because this is an exclusive memory that belongs only to me, even the people closest to me cannot recall memories through a movie like me, and feel the complexity of being lost, sad, reluctant, dazed, and relieved. Emotions, in the final analysis, some experiences and feelings of a person's life belong to oneself and cannot be treated for outsiders, nor can they be treated for outsiders.
After watching the movie, I went to the newly built Toy Story area of Shanghai Disney. There are corresponding amusement facilities for Hug Dragon, Spring Dog, and Hu Di. Only my favorite Buzz Lightyear is already in Tomorrowland. With Interstellar Rescue, there are no new tricks this time, which is a bit regretful. But these are enough for me, because in the future I will definitely watch "Toy Story" countless times with my children, take him to Disneyland to play, and tell him to treat every toy as well as Andy. Be a loving child.
Finally, I just want to say, thank you "Toy Story", thank you Disney, thank you Pixar, it is you who made my childhood no longer boring, so that I can feel your warmth through the screen, and let me become a person who knows how to cherish and understand Beloved person.
And now, it's time to say goodbye to you, goodbye Spurga, goodbye Huglong, goodbye Mr. Egghead, and goodbye Hu Di.
Of course there is my favorite Buzz Lightyear, goodbye! 20 years ago, Andy in China, who sat in front of the TV with you, separated by oceans, has grown up!
Fly into space, the universe is infinite!
