Toy Story
Toy Story
I believe you presented Toy Story to us to show the personalities of the toys are a lot more complex and for the class to relate what we have been learning in class. The film uses a constructed text in order to put across a theme of two very different characters learning to work together beyond their rivalries to rise above a common enemy and work towards a common goal. I believe the team work that Woody and Buzz created can be applied to how two different people can work together to achieve a goal and or obstacles. Also inside the neighbor’s house the movies presented another set of toys that weren’t as “pretty” and “shiny” as the toys in Andy’s room. Woody right away assumed they were cannibals just by the way they looked. Because Woody judged the other toys right away it restrained him to ask for help thinking he was going to get eaten. This can be applied to the saying “not judging a book by its cover” and in class we discuss how our opinions of others can affect how we work with one another. The film uses characters and imagery very cleverly to portray this theme. The music used in the film is also different to other Disney features. Rather than the characters bursting into song themselves as in Aladdin or Hercules, the songs are played and sung by an outside person and reflect the mood and emotions of the characters in a particular scene. For example, the title sequence song “Friend in Me”, when Woody and Andy are playing together, and the scene where Andy’s room has been made over to a Buzz Lightyear theme, “Strange Things” where the song reflects Woody’s confusion and fear not only about the change in his surroundings but also the change in his friends and his own character and self-confidence.
How I related Toy Story to our vocabulary, concepts, behaviors, and outcomes we have been exploring through lecture, activities and course reading was simply by how the movie started when Woody tries to convince that Buzz he is not an actual space ranger
