'Toy Story 4' in 2015 according to imdb. Let's hope it's not another 'Cars 2' (Yeah, I watched it. Shut up.)
ReplyIt's horrible to think about how the toys can live forever meaning they'll be fully aware stuck in a dumpster after the little girl grows up and throws them away too eventually.
ReplyBut if since they do live forever does that mean if their plastic is recycled and melted down they can be reincarnated as new toys made with the recycled plastic and ready to be played with over and over? Damn Pixar missed their chance to make an even sadder ending and get extra mulla for being the sole reason of millions of scared kids would recycle their toys. It would of helped the environment while being powered by the fear of children.
Them being reincarnated when they get recycled only makes it worse. Not all plastic goes to toys. Some gets put in piano keys, buttons, etc.
And some go into dildos. Checkmate.
Toy story 3? Oh yeah, I went to see that. Oh, you saw me? REally? Wait, how did you know it was m- No, no, I wasn't crying, it was just aller- Wait, tou took pictures? Alright, fine, I cried. It was sad, and I cried. Nothing wrong with that.
ReplyIt feels like my laughs are laughing.
ReplyIf I've learned anything from the Toy Story movies it's that anyone who owns you will eventually forget about you. So any remaining slaves out there, just hang tight.
ReplyToy Story 3 brought to light why living forever wouldn't be as glorious as you'd think. It's like the movie "Death Becomes Her" (it was on tv a week ago). That movie terrified me as a kid for obvious reasons but watching it last week terrified me again. Not because they were walking corpses whose bodies were brutally and viciously destroyed, but because I realized that essentially living forever would be the worst kind of hell, especially after the last scene where they shatter. I hate that scene is where the movie ends because the next scene was undoubtedly going to be a shot of multiple people losing their f*****g minds while watching the wiggling body parts of those two women.
Reply Hide All See All 4 RepliesThose two women were doomed to spend eternity in decaying, falling apart corpses, but now they are most likely going to be heads stuck in a glass tank Futurama style while scientists poke and prod and experiment on them for all of eternity.
Watching everyone you love slowly die while you were doomed to stay alive, in whatever condition you are in, forever would be the worst. The incinerator scene would have been a god awfully depressing way to watch the characters die, but not letting them die especially after they all came to peace with their demise was probably crueler. Inevitably they are going to be thrown away eventually. As we saw in Toy Story with Sid, just because a toy is broken apart into useless pieces doesn't mean it is dead. So essentially there are pieces of toys stuck in landfills or forgotten in a field or something somewhere and they are stuck there forever to slowly watch time pass and their bodies decay (or not if they are made of plastic). s**t, I just depressed the hell out of myself...
However, if you could stay alive and regenerate yourself no matter the damage, like Wolverine, then somehow watching your loved ones pass wouldn’t be that depressing in the grand scheme of your eternal life. It would have its depressing moments but at the very least you wouldn’t be terrified that you’d eventually be doomed to sit and stare since your body was no longer in a condition to move.
Wow, and I thought I over thought fiction. First of all, Death Becomes Her ftw ("you pushed me down the stairss") secondly, you may think the cute living toys should have burned and melted in an incinerator but (and this is something I've had trouble getting to grips with since I was very young) it's a children's movie and that means no slow painful deaths, no poetic ends and under no circumstances any lasting depth. It's possibly the reason I went rather quickly from movies like Jumanji to movies like Elvira MotD, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Child's Play etc. Granted, my parents were really silly to think the neighbors would take their "no horror movies" rule seriously, but at least I got the authentic nightmare riddled, sounds of painfull death filled childhood everyone deserves.
Considering that the chicks from "Death Becomes Her" (which, out of my own Freddy-Chucky-House nightmare childhood, was infinitely more silly than serious) were actually GIGGLING at dude's funeral, I can't exactly say I had any sympathy for them. They were selfish, self-centered bats. Also, it was a comedy. A dark comedy, but still a comedy.
If you want to watch a movie to make you depressed about immortality, watch "Interview with a Vampire". Or almost any of the "Highlander" movies. But "Death Becomes Her"? Naah; not going to waste a single tear there; it's one of the funnest things Bruce Willis did, with the possible exception of "Pulp Fiction"! XD
Gonna get nerdy for a moment.
Wolverine *can* be killed. There was an arc in the original comic where Magneto once sucked all the adamantium out of his body, making him just as vulnerable as anyone else. (His original claws were made from bone, not metal, you see.) Wolverine can and will die. The series never says he never ages. However (and at least as far as I know having this stuff explained to me second-hand) no one knows how old he is *exactly*, because of repressed memories and blah blah blah. Natural ability to heal all wounds =/= Never dying.
Heck, your body heals its own wounds NOW; it's just that Wolverine's body heals about a thousand times faster than the average person.

I'm gonna reply with a short sentence to balance this out
Whne I came out of Toy Story 3 my only thoughts were "WTF, if they make another, I defiently won't watch it. Now what can I do to forget I saw this one?" I really wanted to leave when the were all ready to die at the garbage place but I needed it not to end that way...
Replythere are theories thatthe toys did burn in the fire, and that they are in a heaven where they will always be together and loved and played with.
ReplyCute. I actually laugheded.
ReplyToy Story not only made me sad, it scared the s**t outta me, and I wasn't even stoned. THAT GODDAMN MONKEY.
ReplyI think the key to its shock value is putting cutesy characters in dire situations. Watching a teddy bear warden corner a stuffed bunny inmate just seems more upsetting than watching a human warden corner a human inmate.
LOL! I Lol-ed at this but I cried at T3, damn you college for making me feel just like Andy.
ReplyDamn Pixar for having him age appropriately. :(
Funnily, growing up with Toy Story has made me terrified of throwing any toys away. Hence why I still have a teddy bear given to me at birth, 21 years later.
But he's still cute, so SHUT UP.
I saw Toy Story 3 the night before I went to college. So many tears, man.
Replysorry for the downvote man, laptop's sensitive touchpad
Toy Story 3 would have been better if they burned
ReplyI never saw any of the toy stories...
Reply Hide All See All 3 RepliesYou are not a human.
You poor, neglected child. We need to get you the dvd's, STAT.
I bet he hasn't seen the Lion King either. Poor soul...
i did cry at toy story 3, but not at any of the really sad bits, i cried when the toys all held hands and prepared for death, which is pretty sad now that i think about it, even if they make it out ok.
Replyit was probably the most touching things i've ever seen in a childrens movie.
yep thats what got me too
Toy story doesn't make me sad at all.
Replywell thats because you are the devil
quoting Joey here: YOU ARE DEAD INSIDE
I didn't cry once at Toy Story 3... I'm starting to wonder if I'm actually a human.
ReplyI didn't either. Actually, I think it's because I already knew that there was a happy ending and they got donated.
I hear in toy story five andy dies of a sexually transmitted disease he picks up while at college, his mom is shot by a mugger and his little sister ODs on too much coke. Oh, and the house burns down... And slinky is the only toy to survive. He soon over-doses too.
Replyso its a comedy again!
so its a comedy again!
so i take it hysterical laughter was not the normal reaction to Toy story 3...
Replyall those freaked out gazes in the movie theater make sense now...
I was surprised at how depressing Toy Story 3 was. I didn't expect that ONE SCENE. You know the one.
Reply Hide All See All 5 RepliesThe one where they are slowly creeping toward inevitable hellfire and oblivion? That's fun for all ages.
Which one? The incinerator scene? The dumpster scene? The monkey alarm scene? There are several depressing scenes in that movie.
Monkey alarm wasn't depressing, it was bloody hilarious
That f*****g monkey is like the scariest thing I've ever seen.
My kids will have to be at least 16 before I let them watch that movie. Holy crap.
My mom was like that; she didn't let me watch Princess Bride until I was 15.
Nowadays I mostly watch horror movies.
