Toy Story By Pixar
You’ve got a friend in me. To infinity and beyond! There’s a snake in my boot! These are the most iconic lines from the first feature-length computer animated film and the first theatrical film produced by Pixar known as Toy Story. Toy Story was released in 1995 as an American computer-animated comedy adventure film produced by Pixar and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The film follows a group of anthropomorphic toys who pretend to be lifeless whenever humans are present, and focuses on the relationship between Woody, a pull string cowboy doll, and Buzz Lightyear, an astronaut action figure. Pixar, which produced short animated films to promote their computers, was approached by Disney to produce a computer-animated feature after the success …show more content…
Toy Story went on to earn over $361 million worldwide. Reviews were positive, praising both the animation's technical innovation and the screenplay's wit and sophistication, and it is now widely considered by many critics to be one of the best animated films ever made (A History of Toy Story). The plot of this movie starts out with a group of toys that are owned by a boy named Andy. The leader of the toys is a cowboy toy named Woody, who helped plan a mission to discover Andy’s new presents at his upcoming birthday party before the family’s big move. Andy received a spaceman action figure named Buzz Lightyear, who could potentially replace Woody as Andy’s favorite toy. Woody notices how much attention Buzz has been getting from Andy as well as the other toys and gets aggravated. However, Buzz believes himself to be a real space ranger on a mission to return to his home planet and Woody is trying to convince him that he is just a toy. The storyline continues when Andy is allowed to bring one toy with him to a family outing at Pizza Planet. Woody was …show more content…
When trying to escape, Buzz watches a television commercial for the Buzz Lightyear action figures and realizes that he is just a toy. Buzz did not believe what his eyes were seeing so he tries to fly, but falls to a crashing halt and breaks his left arm and becomes disheartened. During this time, Woody is still plotting a way to escape and can see Andy’s other toys through the window and he attempts to convince them that Buzz is still alive. Buzz is still depressed and is no help so Andy’s other toys decide not to try and help. Once this happens, Sid’s creations come out of the dark shadow to what Woody thinks to hurt Buzz, but really they are helping him by fixing his left arm. Sid himself then decides that he is going to blow up the space ranger with a firework rocket he bought. Luckily a thunderstorm rolled in and delays Sid’s plan so Woody has a chance to come up with an escape plan. Buzz is still so depressed that even the rocket strapped to his back is not fazing him. Woody attempts to tell Buzz that he is still able to make Andy happy as his toy and reinvigorates his spirit. The next morning, the firework rocket is scheduled for takeoff. Woody and Sid’s other toys rescued Buzz and in the process scared him into no longer abusing his own

    Charlie and the Chocolate factory is one of two film adaptations of Roald Dahls 1943 children’s book. This 2005 rendition, directed by the eccentric Tim Burton, infamous for his dark fantastical works in film, is said to be most loyal to the book versus the 1971 version entitled Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory . Like the book, the film conveys a heavy theme of morality and family. The motif throughout the movie is bad children are punished while good children earn the coveted rewards. In this case, an entire chocolate factory. The film explores the effects of unscrupulous behavior and the gains of selflessness, kindness, and being family centered.…

    Princess and the Pea

    Princess and the pea didn’t have a bipolar for a stepfather. Can you see it? Her in her royal pink nightdress, awakened by the turbulence of shotgun shells atop the tile floor. A shotgun makes more of an impact than you think, but if she is pestered by a pea, I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t have survived this story. Sometimes I wonder if the tickling in my back in the morning is that shell reminding me that if it was a little more keen I probably either wouldn’t be here or writing this by the air pulses id blow into a straw like Christopher reeves. Irregardless – my stepfather is lucky his actions only resulted in a puncture wound in my king size mattress after chucking a rock at the passing car on the dirt road near my house. If I was to ask him why he decided a 12 gauge shotgun was the best solution to a neighborhood speeder, he would ask me to shut up and find the remote control. This story must be released from my memory because I can’t get over the mechanics of it.…

Hiro is genius teenager, who has lost all immediate family and has to find the motivation to continue on with life. One see the highs and lows of Hiro, but his most reedeeming quality is his drive. Once Hiro sees that he can make a difference, he does not back down. Then, there is Hiro's left hand man, or should one say robot, Baymax. A boy and his robot, type of relationship has been done before, but in Big Hero 6, there is an added sense of compassion and love. Baymax is the sterotypical robot in the sense that he talks in short and choppy sentences. Baymax is originally made to be a personal nurse-like robot, but Baymax develops a human-like personality and through Hiro's genius computer skills, Baymax is able to kick some butt. Baymax and Hiro have a rare relationship. The viewer sees the friendship and the love growing, but it is not extremely prominent until the end. The other smaller characters help to flush out the movie. Go Go was clearly one of Hiro's late brother's closest friends and she is more of the hard-core character, she wants to remove her emotions, but it is impossible when she begins to truly care for Hiro. Wasabi is s big juxtaposition. Wasabi is the big, bulky, African-American male character, but he is the baby, the…

    Inside Toyland

    Inside Toyland, written by Christine L. Williams, is a look into toy stores and the race, class, and gender issues. Williams worked about six weeks at two toy stores, Diamond Toys and Toy Warehouse, long enough to be able to detect patterns in store operations and the interactions between the workers and the costumers. She wanted to attempt to describe and analyze the rules that govern giant toy stores. Her main goal was to understand how shopping was socially organized and how it might be transformed to enhance the lives of workers. During the twentieth century, toy stores became bigger and helped suburbanization and deregulation. Specialty toy stores existed but sold mainly to adults, not to children. Men used to be the workers at toy stores until it changed and became feminized, racially mixed, part time, and temporary. As box stores came and conquered the land, toy stores started catering to children and offering larger selections at low prices. The box stores became powerful in the flip-flop of the power going from manufacturers to the retailers. Now, the retail giants determine what they will sell and at what price they will sell it.…
