Whitney Hendricks Personal #4 Toy Story 3

Like I mentioned in my last blog, I love cartoon movies especially Disney Films. Toy Story 3 is another Disney-Pixar movie that parallels to Christianity. First we can look at the characters and settings as biblical references ; Andy is seen as God, Woody is his prophet, Lots-o is satin, Andy's room is heaven, and the dumpster is hell. We first see Andy has Woody's God in the first movie when he writes his name on Woody's boot, he is the owner and it's proof of Andy's love and commitment to Woody. The ideology of the toys is to be owned and played with. When Andy started to get older he paid less and less attention on his toys. As college soon approached Andy cleaned out his room and put his toys, with the exception of Woody, in a black bag to put in the attic. The toys have doubts about Andy's loyalty to them, with Woody's beliefs based on his faith, he assures them that they are just going to the attic. Some how by accident or change in fate they end up going to the curb. Woody saw the whole thing and knew it was just an accident, the toys feel abandoned and question Andy's faithfulness. The toys end up going to “Sunnyside Daycare” where they meet Lots-o the teddy bear. He explains to them that “no owners means no heartache... we don't need owners; we are our own owners. Masters of our own fate”. This makes Lots-o seem like an atheist. He has the belief of no higher power because he feels angry that his owner abandoned him causing him to become a villain with no remorse and self-preservation. Woody knows what Lots-o is up to so he tries his hardest to get the other toys to regain their faith and Andy so they can go back.
