Toy Story (franchise)/Heartwarming: Difference between revisions

Being a pioneer in the animation genre doesn't mean you can't tug at people's heartstrings positively.

** Perfect for bringing viewers back into the mood when they used it in the teaser for and beginning of ''[[Toy Story 3]]''.

* This troper just saw the 3D double feature in theaters. Most of the 3D was pretty subtle, but my personal favorite part was at the end of the first film, when a bunch of little kids reached up to catch the 3D "snow" that was falling into the audience. Awwww.

* Buzz accepting that he's a toy, and coming to the disheartened Woody's rescue.

* "Buzz, we missed the truck!" "We're not aiming for the truck!"

* Subtle one: In the moving van scene, when Slinky is holding Woody and is getting stretched, Slinky says he 'can't hold on much longer'. He meant it. He really can't. One look behind him as he says it, the slink is completely straight, much more exposure would result in him snapping in two, and by extension, die. Slinky sure was keen to prove his loyalty, just short of willing to die for it. Maybe even willing, though in this case, [[Heroic Sacrifice]] would not have been very effictive.

* After Woody was kidnapped by Al, Buzz without hesitation is ready to pull together a rescue mission for him.

{{quote|"Woody once risked his life to save mine, and I couldn't call myself his friend if I wasn't willing to do the same. Now who's with me?"}}

* And also this scene, when the rescue team is exhausted:

{{quote|'''Buzz''': Come on, fellas. Did Woody give up when Sid had me strapped to a rocket?

'''Jessie''': He ''does''?! ''Why didn't you say so? Let's go!'' }}

** The very heartwarming thing this troper found about that scene is how Andy describes to Bonnie how he remembers each toy, showing it isn't that he really ''forgot'' about them, he simply outgrew them and now we see he still remembers how special they all are to him.

** Even more importantly, the ''toys'' are hearing about how special they all are to him, after he called them "junk" near the beginning of the film.

* The beginning, which is probably just as melancholy as the ending. It may not be as heartbreaking as the beginning scene from Up, but good god is it tearful. Not only are we shown the Andy we know playing with his toys through an old betamax tape which constantly reminds us this is all in the past, not only do we see him aging over time, or that we see that his entire toy family is decreasing, BUT this is all accompanied with the original "You've Got A Friend In Me". It turns right into [[Tear Jerker]] territory when it ends on the line ''Our friendship will never die..''

** Arguably made even ''more'' heartbreaking in some of the translations. For instance, the Latin Spanish translation replaces that line with "El tiempo no volará" (literally ''Time will not fly'')...

* Bonnie practically defines this trope. Not only is she painstakingly adorable and hilarious in every single scene, her playtime so brilliantly mirrors that of Andy's that it's impossible not to gush at her.

** This scene, during Bonnie's first playtime introduction after she drinks too much pretend coffee. Caution: EXTREME [[Moe]] Ahead, will lead to Cuteness Overload in all individuals [http://i45.tinypic.com/110w40n.jpg\]

** Chuckles the Clown {{spoiler|smiling at the end}}. [[Not So Stoic]] for kids, and just as powerful.

* At the end, Andy gives Woody once last piggyback ride, just like he used to when he was a kid and as seen from the video tape. [[Meaningful Echo]] that one.

* A bit Meta, but this animation fanatic troper, found the inclusion of a [[My Neighbor Totoro|Totoro]] doll in some scenes, truly heartwarming, because it shows the high amount of respect that Pixar has for [[Studio Ghibli|their predecessors]].

** A that grin at the end. EEEEEEEEEEEEE!
