Toy Story (franchise)/Analysis: Difference between revisions

Say what you will about the first movie (what with all those [[Nightmare Fuel|mutant toys]] and [[Uncanny Valley]] humans), but the final [[Film]] arguably was the ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'' trilogy's darkest installment. Many may dismiss the reason for this as solely because the third movie was aimed toward those that saw the original ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'' in theaters fifteen years ago and grew up with the series - not only could the now-adolescent audience appreciate deeper themes such as abandonment and [[Character Development]], but if the final installment in the series didn't exceed the standards set by the previous two, then it would be a grave disappointment for the audience. However, there is more to this than [[Sequel Escalation]]. This was more than a mere adventure for the toys - their life with Andy, and their life metaphorically, ''ends'' in this film. The entire movie was symbolic of the afterlife, and the choices the toys make determine their ultimate fate.
