quote:Ģ) Lotso wasn’t about fairness but power. Sharing the load means the new toys (fresh toys) deal with the Caterpillar kids and earn their way into the Butterfly kids. Yes, this is sort of tongue in cheek a little bit, but all in all Lotso isn’t some insane dictator for the first half of the movie.ġ) All the toys die if they’re there long enough. And it seems like most of the existing toys at SS should be mad at some uppity group waltzing in and expecting to be put in the Butterfly Room with no respect for how things work there. But at least initially, his intentions seem relatively reasonable. So I’m not trying to defend his ultimate actions in the end (especially at the dump/incinerator). ![]() But that was after they continuously ignored the set up at Sunnyside and broke the rules over and over (and escaped). Now obviously he is insane in the end, and pretty ruthless with how he treats the group with acting like a prison warden. Well they could’ve done that the entire time, even under Lotso. And even in the end when Ken and Barbie are running things, the toys take breaks and rest from the young kids. But a lot of these toys are made for young kids anyway, so why is it such a problem that the kids play tough with them? They aren’t experimenting with them like Sid did in the first one. New toys at Sunnyside have to come in and pay their dues with the young kids in the Caterpillar Room and sort of “earn” their right to get thrown in with the older kids of the Butterfly Room who play less rough. And watching now, I can’t help but think that Lotso’s “rules” for new toys aren’t really that unreasonable. So we watch 3 a good bit since it’s the best of the four films. And he’s obsessed with Woody and the TS movies. Bonnie will take good care of them, and when she gets old she’ll probably donate them to Sunnyside, which has now become a better place thanks to Ken and Barbie.Now that my son is old enough to enjoy Pixar movies, we watch them pretty regularly. It’s really sad seeing Andy give away his toys, but at the same time it’s quite heartwarming because you know the toys are going to be okay. I cried then and I still cry every time I watch this film (the bit that always gets me is when Andy says goodbye and Bonnie waves Woody’s hand. ![]() There was not a dry eye in the house when that scene came up. Toy Story has become massive part of everyone’s childhood, including mine, and so when Andy says goodbye to them, it feels more like we’re saying goodbye to them and thanking them for all those wonderful memories. The people that were kids when the first Toy Story came out and have grown up with the Pixar films. I put it to you that while this is a kid’s film and kids can very much enjoy this film, Toy Story 3 isn’t actually intended for kids. Perhaps a little older than me at the time. Every seat was taken by people in their late teens/early adults. When I went to see this in the cinema, there was not a single kid in the audience. ![]() That’s why she replaced him when she thought she lost him). He thinks that children don’t really care about toys and thus snaps completely, losing his faith in humanity (ironically Daisy did love Lotso. Lotso on the other hand has experienced a child’s love, only to feel rejected when she replaced him. ![]() A chance to actually mean something and attain a purpose he never had before. he never had the chance to play with a kid and sees the museum in Japan as a step up for him. You could argue that he’s slightly similar to Stinky Pete from Toy Story 2, but there are some crucial differences. He detests how toys are viewed by humans and vows to create an easier and more fulfilling life for himself in his dystopia. He still allows kids to play with him during the day, but he refuses to make an emotional connection with them so as not to be heartbroken again. A toy’s purpose in life is to be played with, but Lotso disregards that completely. Heartbroken when his owner replaced him, Lotso became a bitter tyrant, turing Sunnyside into a prison complex and creating hierarchal structure so that he, and few other select toys could enjoy a more comfortable existence while the newer toys are left to suffer in the dreaded Caterpillar Room. What a great baddie for this kind of story. Which brings me to the villain, Lotso-Huggin-Bear.
