Pixar Theory: Why the Life of a Toy Is Actually a NIGHTMARE!

Before you bring your loud, annoying children to see the newest installment in the Toy Story series this Friday, I decided that it was time for one last-ditch attempt to get you to leave the kids at home and allow us adults to enjoy the G-rated movie in peace during the opening weekend.

Today, we are delving into the horrifying truth of this animated children's film series. This theory states that the toys of Toy Story are all SLAVES, and the evidence has been clear from the start.

All credit for this theory goes to The Film Theorists. Check them out. They're a fantastic channel.

Here We Go!

Before we dive into the theory, let's go over what we know: whenever humans are around, toys appear to us as lifeless things for humans to play around with innocently.

However, when there are no humans around, the toys are alive. They always play dead when humans can see them, and from the Toy Story films, we know that these toys are fiercely loyal to their owners, and will do anything to make sure they are happy. Aw, how cute.

This leads us into the trailers for Toy Story 4, where we learn that Bonnie has made herself a toy using a spork, googly eyes, and string. This shows us that there's nothing about the way toys are manufactured that brings them to life, as Bonnie was able to make a living toy herself.

What brings toys to life is the love and imagination they receive from their owners. The purpose of a toy is to lie somewhere, lifeless, as children can do whatever they want with toys without consent of the toys.

Now, this is all well and good when the toys like their owner and their owner likes the toys, but think back to the original Toy Story.

The villain of Toy Story is Sid, a teenager who takes joy in mutilating innocent toys. The toys Sid encountered all needed to remain lifeless as Sid detached their limbs and placed them on other bodies.

And it's not like the toys couldn't feel pain as he did it either. Because if you remember the scene in Toy Story where Sid shines the magnifying glass on Woody's head, right when Sid looks away, Woody gets up and shrieks in pain.

So think about that: we have toys being tortured and getting their limbs cut off and they are too scared to move at all as this is done to them. They are forced to lie there and suffer simply because they refuse to move in the presence of a human.

But you may be saying, "Well, what about the kids that love their toys like Andy? Those toys are in a good place!" Here's the thing: as we saw in Toy Story 3, kids grow up. And when they grow up, they turn their back on the toys.

At the beginning of Toy Story 3, we learn that Andy hasn't played with his toys in years, and yet, they are STILL making a last-ditch attempt to get Andy to play with them right before they go to college.

How dark is that? Even when toys are loved by their owners, these very same owners will throw them to the side. The sole purpose of a toy is to be played with, and many are relentless in this pursuit, and we haven't even gotten into the fact that these toys are getting robbed of their right to independence.

Remember the "When She Loved Me" scene in Toy Story 2? Jessie was under that bed for YEARS. She had been thrown away and forgotten, left behind by the owner she loved.

She could have run out whenever she wanted. But she didn't, because it was built into her mind that she needed to be where her owner wanted. Jessie wouldn't do anything to help herself and make herself happy. She only wanted to be there for Emily, and Emily threw her away.

Think about it: the love of children gives toys life, and in return, toys are forced to oblige to whatever children want from them. Whatever the child wants the toy to do, the toy must do.

And we saw even more of how horrifying this society can be for toys in Toy Story 3, when the toys are practically ripped apart by children, but don't do anything to object to their torture.

If, for some reason, you still don't understand how this is a frightening way of life, imagine this: your parents gave you life the same way children give toys life. Would you want to be forced to do whatever your parents tell you?

You'd have no free will, no control over your own movements. Your parents control your movements and you have to remain fiercely loyal to them, obliging to whatever they want you to do regardless of whether or not you gave consent. And eventually, after your years of undying loyalty, they cast you aside and forget you.

Here's where this gets even darker: the only escape from this never-ending pain is death. But can a toy die?

I mean, toys can't die of natural causes because they don't have organs. And as Sid's antics in the first Toy Story demonstrated, a toy can have their body parts cut up and still remain alive, with their body parts functioning independently.

Toys also wouldn't just die when their owners stop loving them because as we saw in Toy Story 2, toys like Stinky Pete, Jessie, and Bullseye had gone decades without an owner and hadn't died yet.

Okay, so how can a toy die? I believe the ending of Toy Story 3 provided us with an answer.

And that is how a toy dies.

In order for toys to die, they have to be incinerated. That's the icing on the cake. Children enslave toys, force them to follow their commands, and when they're too old for toys, throw them aside to be murdered brutally.

Not only that, but sometimes, if an owner decides not to get rid of their toys, eventually, after decades of not being able to find a new owner, they may decide to do it themselves.

If the world of Toy Story is as gruesome as it seems, I don't even want to KNOW how the next one ends. But that's it. I just wanted to give you a reason to leave the kiddies at home for this one, because the theaters this weekend WILL be filled with crying 30-year-old men.
