Toy Story 3 "Toy Story": Where are our cartoons?

After watching Toy Story, which was rated as one of the ten best movies of this year by TIME, I have to admit that I was really hit. The first blow was that I never thought that the cartoons I never liked could make such a climax; the second blow was to see what kind of education children in the United States received, and then turned to look at our cartoons, let me It's hard not to say "Save the child".

The truth, goodness, beauty, loyalty, courage, tolerance, responsibility, and the courage to express one’s own opinions in American education are fully integrated into the story by this movie called Toys, which actually depicts the feelings of people. The children watched this movie. Can understand what is right, what is wrong, and what should be done. What about us? Except for a happy goat who didn't know what to do, the children were educated to compete with others, to step on other children, or to stand out by all means. Even in the 1980s, there were some cartoons similar to "Little Bells" with truth, goodness and beauty in it. It’s hard to see them. Nowadays, screenwriters seem to feel that they can’t attract children without being beautiful and handsome, police chasing by police, and revenge magic. The cartoons that gave birth to true feelings in ordinary life are gone. We don’t have a grandfather who vowed to take his wife on a trip around the world, no chipmunk, no dragon and toothless who will never leave the owner. There is no emotional substitution that has surpassed the image of animation. More importantly, the educational and entertaining function of cartoons for children is gone. Except for the blunt preaching that even adults do not believe in themselves, they are already distorted values. This is not the collapse of the children's world, this is the tragedy of the adult world.

When I was young, the day when I went to the cinema with my parents to watch "Little Bell" was my happiest day. My parents told me that this is the cartoon they loved to watch when they were young, and now it's your turn to watch it. I don’t know which one should I introduce to my child when I take my child to watch a cartoon one day?

Toy Story 3 quotes

  • [Chuckles is telling Woody about Lotso]

    Chuckles: Yeah, I knew Lotso. He was a good toy. A friend. Me and him, we had the same kid: Daisy. I was there when Lotso got unwrapped. Daisy loved us all. But Lotso... Lotso was special. They did everything together. Never seen a kid and toy more in love. One day we took a drive, hit a rest stop, had a little playtime. After lunch, Daisy fell asleep. She never came back. Lotso wouldn't give up. It took forever, but we finally made it back to Daisy's. But by then, it was too late. Something changed that day inside Lotso. Something snapped.

    Lotso: She replaced us. Come on.

    Chuckles: No, she only replaced you.

    Lotso: She replaced all of us, didn't she?

    [Big Baby climbs up to the window]

    Lotso: She don't love you no more.

    [breaks and throws pendant to the ground]

    Lotso: Now, come on.

    Chuckles: We were lost, cast-off, unloved, unwanted. Then we found Sunnyside. But Lotso wasn't my friend anymore. He wasn't anyone's friend. He took over Sunnyside and rigged the whole system.

    Woody: So, how'd you get out?

    Chuckles: I got broke. Bonnie found me, took me home. Other toys... they weren't so lucky. It ain't right what Lotso done. New toys... they don't stand a chance.
