"I love it when a plan comes together"

We better hit our stupid books--they don't hit back. But does it also mean we better give up our old toys (when puberty says hello), because they won't give up on us?

Mr. Potatohead and Jessie definitely won't agree--at first. After all, toys are for playtime, and all they "live" for is to be played with forever. We cannot blame them when Andy won't play with them anymore.


Obviously, from a "humanities" point of view, Toy Story 3 talks about loyalty. In real life it is somewhat parallel to the concept of true friendship among people. Even Albert Einstein said something about being a true friend, when he's rarely there but definitely on the worst days of his friend's life.

I also personally admire how Woody's (and even Buzz's) plan came together in Toy Story 3. I would always remember Mr. Potatohead dropping off his parts and sticking them into a plato wrap dough, then I would reminisce on how a lot of things I planned either turned out worse or didn't happen at all.


But then I've also learned plans will always go wrong at one point, and that's when we need to IMPROVISE (like how Woody, the space aliens, and Bullseye made another route to avoid the patrol trucks, and how they hid in a bucket when Big Baby almost caught them).

My sister Ate Nadine claimed it was laudable for Pixar not to make a Toy Story 4, after leaving Woody with Bonnie and not taking him to college with Andy. They were not greedy enough to franchise another movie, as Toy Story 3's ending definitely left a teary, dramatic goodbye all of us children who once had toys will remember forever.

"You guarantee it, huh?"

The makers consequently donated Woody's lessons on never giving up, and equally when to give up.

"Did you fix Buzz?"

And I just love Jessie and Buzz's Spanish dance!
