![]() ![]() On average, English words and phrases tend to have fewer syllables than their Spanish (or French, for that matter) counterparts take a look at any product that has multi-lingual packaging and you'll see what I mean. It's because of the peculiar syllable structure of spoken English-and written, to an extent.The line is rendered as "Hay un amigo en mi." One problem- the literal translation of that line back into English is "There is a friend in me.".I don’t think Woody and the gang knew that Sunnyside had been properly reformed until AFTER they had moved in with Bonnie and started getting letters from Ken and Barbie.The Spanish version of "You've Got a Friend in Me." She tried to jump onto the dumpster with all of the others but Ken grabbed her and held her back. Woody specifically decided against that exact thing when they went with Andy.īarbie didn’t actually choose to stay at Sunnyside. You mean the exact opportunity he had at the end of TS3 when he could have stayed at the "new Sunnyside" like Barbie. And even then he still shows the same level of dedication and loyalty towards Bonnie up until he gets Buzz’s blessing to move on. So Woody begins TS4 have already learned this lesson. By the end of the movie, he learns that it’s better for everyone to move on because while Andy may still have a deep personal attachment to the toys, he doesn’t need them anymore. He thinks the toys need to be there for him no matter what even if that means just sitting in the attic. ![]() He is unwilling to accept any other alternative because he has been with Andy for his entire life. Yes, but Woody’s arc in TS3 is learning to let go and move on from Andy. It's too happy as a disavowal of the trilogy-long meaning of his life. There's something blithely nihilistic about 4's ending I just don't believe the same character is partying it up with a traveling carnival without a care in the world. With how much Andy and being a toy means to him again and again throughout the films, it makes more sense for his character to find a new owner who cares about him (perhaps a senior who appreciates him nostalgically, ala the book ending of The Brave Little Toaster) or come to terms more peacefully with the end of his life as a toy, cherishing the memories he had and the role he played in the life of his owner. I just don't buy that the Woody from the first three movies would be fulfilled living backstage at a carnival game. Even 2 is about this question, with Woody choosing not to be "adored forever" in a museum but betraying his owner. 3 seems to communicate fairly clearly that a post-owner life isn't for Woody. I would too if I entrusted a dear toy to someone and they just "lost" it.Įxactly. Imagine Andy found out where Woody is now. What made the ending of Andy giving Woody to Bonnie so special was that it was about Andy AND Woody letting go, but holding onto what is special between one child and their toy, if that is available. Woody specifically decided against that exact thing when they went with Andy. But Woody stayed adamantly loyal.īo Peep showing up and introducing Woody to a new lifestyle that allows him to make more than one child happy while also letting him be played with again is actually good for him in the long run. Like what happened with Andy from TS2 to TS3. It would've killed him inside every day to see Bonnie ignored him in favor of playing with other toys, and he's going to stay like that until Bonnie grows up, donated all her toys to another kid, and the cycle begins again. Woody would've still continue to stay with Bonnie and stay loyal to her even if it's clear that Bonnie is not going to play with him again. Woody: For what? What happened to Bonnie? Hamm: Let's just say, Andy wasn't actually thrilled to find out Bonnie lost his most beloved cowboy doll, and. ![]() Rex: Just thinking about it gives me nightmares. (sometime later, the toys meet up with Woody and Bo Peep)īuzz: Woody. Imagine what would happen if Andy came to visit bonnie to see how his toys are doing.Īndy: Hi Bonnie. ![]()
