This film once again accurately poked the tears of the adult death house

Thank you, all the toys I have, now and in the future.

(After the end of "Toy Story 4")

A long, long time ago, in the far galaxy, Space Mount Police Buzz Lightyear and Cowboy Woody were embarking on a new adventure...

("I am your good friend")

They are the favorite toys of the young master Andy.

From the room to the road, from the garbage dump to the kindergarten, Hu Di and Buss accompanied the "I am your good friend" BGM, fought vicious dogs and bear children, and beat the father (there should be "Noooo!") He and the toy dealer, concurrently serve as the spiritual mentor, let the big boss change evil and return to righteousness...

The three "Toy Story" as Pixar's best-selling animation series have witnessed the progress of 3D technology and the growth of the protagonist Andy.

("I am your father……")

Finally, the "Andy" written on the soles of their feet was finally replaced with "Bonnie".

The old toys have been replaced by new owners, and Tracy, the spring dog, the hug dragon, Mr. and his wife, Ham, and the little green people have left the hut surrounded by blue sky and white clouds forever, becoming another source of happiness for children.

(Ahhhhhh, don't leave Andy!)

This is a sad and perfect story.

From 1995 to 2010, "Toy Story" used 3 movies, perfectly telling:

"What do toys mean to us".

Because of this, at the beginning, I rejected "Toy Story 4".

The little fur boy who was brought into the theater by his parents had grown up a long time ago, and would follow his child's buttocks to clean up the toy box. Holding on to "the meaning of toys" again, I'm afraid that I won't be able to finish filming another fifty episodes of this series.

But 10 minutes after the opening of the film, time went back. On a stormy night, the young Andy appeared on the screen again, braving the heavy rain to search for Hu Di, and the shepherdess was packed into a paper box and became the number one in the family. An abandoned character, I feel my heart is pierced through.

This time, Pixar not only explained the absence of the Shepherdess in Part 3, but also accurately poked the tears of our middle-aged dead houses——

Want to say goodbye to your childhood resolutely and decisively?

Give up, you will always be the child who likes toys in your heart.

So "Toy Story 4" once again returned to the starting point, taking a big step forward on the question of "what is a toy" .

Moreover, the answers they gave are still pretty.

01 What is a toy?

What is a toy? This is the core issue that the 4th "Toy Story" has been discussing.

This question was raised at the beginning of the movie——

In "Toy Story 1", Hu Di, as the young owner's "favorite toy", felt that his position was challenged for the first time. Andy's little bed.

The owner cherishes the new toys, and indifferent to Hu Di, which leads to a farce of "competition".

Is the newest, best, and most advanced robot a toy?

(Fly into the universe, the vastness is infinite!)

In the following movies, toys appeared endlessly, and the appearance design became more and more interesting. But in this part, the appearance of the new character "Chacha" has brought a new definition of "toy"——

It is not a new product bought from the store, or even a toy in the traditional sense.

It's just a small thing Bonnie glued out of the kindergarten trash can.

But this fork, which is not a toy, gave Bonnie an unparalleled sense of security.

It has a name written by Bonnie on the soles of its feet, and its shelter is Bonnie's crib. It played and fell asleep with Bonnie, and survived social fears and anxiety about going to the kindergarten.

Hu Di and other toys have also been caring for the growth of Cha Cha, tolerating the troubles and jokes it creates, just like every new partner who greeted Andy back then, turning the “garbage” in the eyes of adults into Bonnie’s most needs friend".

(confuse……)

On the contrary, the Gaby doll in the antique shop tries to maintain elegance and sophistication, repairing his sound box at all costs, living like a villain in a horror movie, but cannot be accompanied by the little owner of his dreams.

(...Sure this is not a horror movie?)

So, what is a toy? A delicate doll, or a little man with an old fork?

It can be.

But "Toy Story 4" takes us to think about the nature of the problem.

Remember what your first toy was?

Dolls sewn with handkerchiefs, small goldfish made of plastic silk, transformers made of paper boxes, lightsabers made of mop sticks.

The two boards are connected together, and then I put on my uncle's leather jacket, which is the Knight Rider and his sports car.

A plastic dinosaur can spread throughout the class, and all children think that nondescript thing is the most powerful Tyrannosaurus rex in Jurassic Park.

When the handkerchief doll got muddy, the plastic goldfish cracked, the paper box was thrown away as a tattered, the mop stick was smashed into two pieces, and the uncle took back the leather jacket in a desperate manner and asked his mother to scold you. The plastic dinosaur was buried in the school. I can't find it in the sandpit anymore--

You will cry like Bonnie, lying on the bed with tears in the corners of your eyes.

If your parents say "buy you a new and better one", you will definitely cry harder, because it is different, the new toy is really different, it is not that you put your mind on it, drew the sketch for 3 days, and made it full The one made with hand glue.

Every child understands that the nature of toys is the thing that can bring the purest happiness.

Even if it is a tattered in the eyes of others.

Now you may understand why the little nephew threw aside the original lightsaber you bought, but regarded the wooden stick he picked upstairs as a treasure.

This truth is too easy to forget when I grow up, so "Toy Story 4" let a fork that can't be called a "toy" as the first supporting role, making Bonnie like forks even more than other toys——

Think about it again, the shepherdess is a lamp holder, the ham is a piggy bank, the spring-loaded toy dog...meh, the 10 yuan on the roadside stall in the night market, both are not strictly toys.

In Andy's eyes, they are as important as the beeping high-end toy "Buzz Lightyear".

"I am your good friend. Some people may be wiser and stronger than me, but they cannot love you unreservedly like I do."

Sing like this in the theme song.

02 Where are your toys going?

Remember that in "Toy Story 2", Buzz Lightyear saw countless "selves" on the shelves in the toy store, and then had doubts about the meaning of existence, and also changed "Who am I" and "Where do I come from". Philosophical propositions are put on the table.

Is the toy an irreplaceable individual, or is it an accessory for mass production on an assembly line?

(Buzz Lightyear had doubts about the meaning of his existence)

Ask Hu Di, Hu Di will answer without thinking--

The life of a toy is to accompany the owner.

In the first half hour of "Toy Story 4", Hu Di still said endlessly: toys should bring joy to the owner and soothe their souls when they are upset. In his opinion, staying with Bonnie was almost the next task that Andy gave him.

Driven by this powerful mission, he must ensure that all toys can appear in the best condition, so he does not hesitate to become a nagging mentor, teaching the new toy "Chacha" one by one.

(Tutor Hu Di, answer questions along the way)

But a thoughtless "Andy" that exposed Hu Di's heart knot, "Where am I going?" After Andy left, Hu Di had asked himself more than once.

Andy sent the toys to Bonnie in order to let his favorite friends live a good life. But what followed was--

Old toys may not bring the same happiness to the new owner.

In other words, your well-intentioned arrangements are not the best for them.

Just like when you gave your beloved Transformers to your brother, he threw it under the bed.

At Bonnie’s house, the savings piggy bank "Ham" was forced to become a banker, Tracy put on the Sheriff’s badge and ran around on horseback, Hudi locked up in the closet and fell ashes...

When the toy army stayed in the bedroom and was meticulously repaired and washed, the shepherdess (Hu Di’s official girlfriend) put on trousers and a cloak, drove the skunk car all the way, without breaking her arm, and walked into the amusement park. Field, bring happiness to other children under the sky full of fireworks.

She said: The children's bedroom is not where I want to stay.

So in the second half of the film, Hu Di found his destiny in order to find his girlfriend all the way to follow:

For toys, there may be options other than "good friends of the owner".

In fact, this is also the knot of the dead houses for many years:

Those limited-edition figures that I tried so hard to grab at the comic show (I also bought three in one breath), each of which was kept in plastic and unopened for three years, occasionally taken out to sweep the dust on it, and then take it Come out and show off: "This is my most precious partner!"

Is it really?

Toys are too lazy to care about you, huh!

It is worth mentioning that "Toy Story 4" did not try to judge right or wrong——

Gaby Doll is eager to have a master, Buzz Lightyear continues to accompany Bonnie, Hudi and the shepherdess to the playground to live independently...

The choice of each toy is correct, and it is worth having a perfect home. When you bought it back home, it was all because you liked it.

However, few people can play with a toy forever, just like no house can guarantee that they will not climb the wall forever.

I'm really not interested anymore, and I didn't do anything wrong. As long as it touches your heart at a certain moment and brings an indelible memory, the value of the toy has been realized.

So, the Pikachu cup you gave to your friend was used as a vase by him;

You deliberately gave your child your favorite puppet when you were a child, but he didn't eat your Amway;

You suddenly changed your aesthetic, and you hung up the limited edition that you squeezed and grabbed back then;

The Transformer you lost has never been found, and you sometimes wonder if it was charged by itself...

Finally, the side of your pillow has changed from a toy to a mobile phone, a novel, and glasses.

But you really loved every toy.

And when a child gains a full sense of security because of toys, reaps full of love, and retains irreplaceable memories, he will eventually grow into a qualified adult.

Thank you, "Toy Story".

Thank you, all the toys I have, now and in the future.

    I thought Woody would always be the "most loyal" toy, the most reliable friend, and how many times the buddies didn't trust their master, he would say "we are Andy's toys" until finally Andy grew up and gave them to to the next "Andy". Woody has been trapping himself ever since, telling himself that I have to protect Bonnie until she grows up. But Bonnie is not Andy, and a toy doesn't have to be tied to an owner. Twenty-four years later, Woody has lived a free life, so are we also free when we grew up like that?

    In the past, the toys accompany their owners unconditionally, and the story of being brave and loyal and unknown, finally ended when the owner grew up. This time the trash has turned into a toy, and the toy has voluntarily chosen to be abandoned - or become some kind of "garbage" that is difficult to sort. It is said that children are demons in one aspect, but some toy settings are also very scary. The runaway story of a prince and a princess is more like Disney than Pixar's original, but everyone has to grow up. Isn't that big amusement carnival, the crazy queue and VIP stop at Shanghai Disneyland already very clear. No matter how much feelings you dig, it's not about having to pay for the business. After all, the shepherdess is a big lover.
