Okay if it really brought you no joy you wouldn't have done that.

That last season was so good too. Monarch moonlighting as the Green Hornet Blue Morpho was probably some of the best moments of the show’s entire run.

And now it’s over.

Last season was amazing, but the show wasn't canceled because it was bad, or because it was unpopular, or because it was too expensive to make. No one involved in making this show wanted to stop making it, the only reason it's gone is because of a dispute over streaming rights.

Thaaat's capitalism! (Laughtrack)

Not my post, but I'm pretty sure I know what they mean because I've had that exact same thought.

Basically, you're totally devoted to a being that isn't even aware you're alive or capable of thought and uses you in whatever way it wants while giving you nothing in return.

Exactly that. The toys also still, despite their gods obliviousness, attempt to curry its favor because it is capable of granting them attention and status even if it doesn't understand that it is doing so.

Andy can only judge his toys and favor them based on the characteristics the toy was constructed with and therefore have no control over. He literally cannot assess them based on their personalities, values, or actions. Andy can literally only favor the toys based on arbitrary criteria.

And yet Andy's love is the most important thing in the world to them.

They shot toy story four to look like real like with hyperreal lens simulation and a million lights. On the one hand this create kind of an interesting metatextual aspect, on the other hand if said light affect is only possible through billions in computer infrastructure, eh

Idiots spent hundreds of millions making toys look real when they could have just done it with stop motion and actual toys on a robot chicken budget

For my next essay I’ll talk about how lion trainers on minimum wage could have made for a much cheaper live action Lion King

Honestly, really I would have preferred a movie that was just footage of real lions doing lion things.

I watched Toy Story 4 the other day and when 3 came out someone made a point about how the toys go further and further in each movie. In the first going downstairs is a huge deal with major stakes. Then they start going outside and to a bunch of locations. By 4 they’re basically breaking the primary rules of toy-dome and going where ever they want and even endangering humans. It’s a decent movie but it stretches the reality of the world so much that you can’t believe that no one has figured out that toys are conscious. Especially when whenever a makeshift toy is created it doesn’t know it needs to follow rules and tries to throw itself away.

I wonder if Bo Peep ever had a complex when she first became aware after Andy took her from his sisters lamp to play with. "I'm not a toy Woody... I'm a decoration. It's all fine for you, you're made of cloth, but I'm porcelain! The first time Andy messes up and drops me? I'm DONE!"

If you realize that you were a decoration and not a toy do you become inanimate

I mean the fork proves that if somebody perceives you as a toy you become a toy, so if you realize that you're not being perceived as it oh gently caress I don't know

The rule seems to be that once a child plays with you then you become a toy and thus self-aware. In addition, once you have become self-aware you don't go back to being unaware even if you go back to being used as decoration.

Thus, Bobeep having been played with by Andy and Molly, gained sentience and continued to have it even once she went back to being treated as just a lamp (and thus decoration) by the antique shop.

I would say that's because they were based on a popular TV character in that universe and as such they all come pre-equipped with his personality and mannerisms but then again Woody was also based on a TV show and remembered nothing until he actually watched it for himself.

Speaking of which, was that Buzz Lightyear cartoon Disney made any good?
