Keep it. Being outgrown is not the same as being thrown away. The incinerator is the test of whether they stay.
The review
The fear under every one of these films is that love ends when usefulness does. Andy is not cruel. He is seventeen, and the room has to be emptied, and the toys cannot be told that in a way that does not feel like death. Lotso is what happens when that fear becomes a system: he was replaced, so everyone else will be. Woody's answer is to keep faith with the others even when the faith looks stupid.
A whole house can watch it, and many houses should, once. The ending is a father watching a son give his childhood to a smaller child without a speech. If you cry, good. Then actually hand something on, this year, to someone younger, and do not keep the best of it in a box you call keeping.
Journal
Keep Toy Story 3 in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 69. Yours can differ.
The glance
Piety is the thin one.
Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Spirited Away
78 instead of 69
Spirited Away is still a animation film, and it scores 78 instead of 69. What you gain is industry: She earns the rescue by labor.
The eight
- 7Industry
Play is the work. Lotso runs a shop floor. Woody still believes the job is the child.
- 8Household
Andy's leaving is a real household event. The mother, the sister, the room being packed.
- 4Piety
No creed. The hand-holding over the fire is the nearest thing to a prayer, and it is loyalty.
- 8Courage
They go back for each other. Woody comes back when he could have gone on to college in a box.
- 5Republic
A day care as a polity with a warden. Small, and true.
- 6Temperance
The peril is intense for a family film. It is in service of not abandoning each other.
- 8Truth
Lotso's story about being replaced is a lie he tells to stay king. The film exposes it.
- 9Stewardship
Andy gives them to a child who will play. Handing on is the whole ending, and it is right.
