In Toy Story the child, Andy, wrote his name on the bottom of the toy’s shoe signifying that was his toy. The toy, Woody, took that as a point of pride, but in the second movie he ::: gets taken from a garage sale by a toy collector and goes to a restoration specialist who among other things paints over the child’s name. ::: Woody accepts this name removal as final proof that he is no longer loved by Andy and no longer belongs to him and is ready to move on to the next phase of his existence. Since the microblogger is also named Andy, her ex used this image to show the finality of their breakup, and it’s probably somewhat devastating depending on the age of the people involved when Toy Story 2 came out.
This is deep. I never watched the movies myself back in the day. A few years ago I found out what they were about, and I decided it’s for the best since I have issues with abandonment.
There have been a number of Pixar movies that have been deeper than any kids’ movie would be expected to be. I didn’t feel like the first was as good as the second, perhaps because it was kind of an experiment to do a 3D animated feature film so they wanted to keep things a bit simpler. The result is one of those rare occasions where the sequel was better than the original.
But yes, if you have abandonment issues it could be a rough movie. Or maybe a little healing. Woody wasn’t supposed to be at the yard sale to begin with and was actually stolen. In the end Woody is rescued and reunited with Andy and brings along Jessie, who was lost by her human. She finds a new home with Andy and his other toys.
