Toy Story is a great movie. But like any great movie about toys that magically come to life when people arenât around to see them, some things about it just donât stand up to scrutiny. Be warned: youâre about to have your childhood ruined.
In their
latest video, the good people at CinemaSins put the 1995 Pixar classic under their microscope and come up with some great findings. The sin count clocks in at 76 at the end of the day. And as if often the case, not all sins are created equally here. But the video makes a couple hilarious and insightful points. Here are my three favorites:
How on earth can Woody and Buzz, two toys that are appropriately diminutive in their stature, catch up with a full-sized truck in the final chase sequence?
Early in the movie, Bo Peep makes a very suggestive comment to Woody when she asks: âWhat do you say I get someone else to watch the sheep tonight?â But assuming that Woody and Bo Peep follow the mainstream trends in action figure design, both of them probably werenât made to be perfectlyâŠanatomically correct. So how does this partnership work, exactly? And donât give me any of that âOh, theyâre just snugglingâ nonsense. Woody and Bo Peep may be toys. But theyâre also adults.
If Buzz really thinks heâs going to die the first time Woody accidentally opens his helmet, how would he have maintained his cool and not leave his toy form if Andy did the same thingâwhich he probably would have done seeing that Buzz is, ya know, a toy
