@@1bridge11 I sincerely doubt that, but I also wasn't looking for an explanation, especially one that discounts the possibility that Isaac got the job as a result of being good at it.
“you can love something and still need to let it go” that’s very appropriate in light of toy story 4. don’t mind me i’ll just be here bawling my eyes out
Yes, it's not just referring to the toys dealing with abandonment, but also to all of us who growing up loving the franchise, and realize that all good things must come to an end.😃
@@paloma4444 Hold onto the memories you made and the positive feelings and life lessons you learned, but to truly show you love something, or more specifically someone you have to let them find their own identity in life and let them go. Letting doesn't mean to exile them out of you life.
I'm used to a female voice when watching the take so it was a little jarring when issac spoke but your voice is actually very nice. Welcome to the take family Issac.
What is really interesting is, even though all toys dedicate their existence to bringing joy to Andy, they aren't much bothered by the fact that much of the boy's attention goes to Woody. Woody even hatches plans with them to get even more alone time with the boy, and everyone willingly plays along.
@@HelenMoonlightBM11 1. he convinced the other toys to stay in the attic because he didn't know a better place for them to be 2. didn't he eventually decide to let andy donate them 3. he was gonna stay in the closet before he found a new purpose for his life, which the other toys did not when andy was going off to college
@@HelenMoonlightBM11 Firstly, if Andy decides to donate Woody, then Woody is not his anymore. He might be sad if he finds out that Woody is gone, but that's what happens when you decide to give away your toy. And yeah Woody did betray Bonnie, but that's not just because he thinks bonnie doesn't need him anymore, but that he also has something more important to do. Also yeah even if Bonnie needs him, his heart is still with Andy and can't get used to the life of being Bonnie's toy, because just like the film said, "Bonnie is not Andy." After years of being Andy's toy I don't think Woody is actually ready to be another kid's toy,. He needs to take a little break. It's as if you get into a new relationship right after you broke up with someone you'd been with for years. Also I don't think you need to be that serious with the plot. All you need to know is that the film is trying to show you what will Woody do if no child needs him. Yeah maybe Bonnie not playing with Woody for a few days is a bad choice of the plot, but at least you can get the idea.
It's interesting to note that Sid, the antagonist in the first movie is lonely, and has a dead beat alcoholic dad, and even though he doesn't see the toys as being living objects actually makes twisted art, which in the real world could actually receive acclaim, as an outlet for his frustration.
I think Toy Story 4 (if it is the last of the franchise) could've had a side plot to do with Sid and his life-changing revelation that toys have sentience, even if it's likely that no person believes him. There are so many routes they could've done with this! Have Sid be an antagonist again as he tries to reveal their sentience to the world to prove he's not crazy, or alternatively he becomes remorseful for the years of toy abuse and becomes a toy rescuer/restorator etc. This character has a lot of potential and yet he only got a few second cameo in Toy Story 3 - it was cute they got the same voice actor, but a bit of a wasted use of his character imo.
Yeah Sid as a villain is one I'm a little iffy about. Cause you could also see that as a positive thing where his toys are created out of his own passion and creativity instead of being manufactured by capitalist factories.
I think the reason so many people were divided over Toy Story 4 was due to where people stand with where they are in their grieving process when it comes to dealing with abandonment. I think your explanation of each villain's perspective in the 4 films was perfectly portrayed. Awesome Work!!!
the toys are like different perspectives that we have in our minds, like buzz is the part of us that's trying to be tough when we feel just as helpless as everyone else, the dinosaur is the part of us that gets afraid easily, etc etc
@@1bridge11 what is your problem? You didnt find it funny, whatever humor is subjective, but if you live by stereotypes then your life must be so depressing, so why not live in reality where women are people, who stand up for themselves when necessary and can be funny to those who share their type of humour and can cry when sad or take control in the midst of chaos. Get off your high horse.
As a psych major , this is the first analysis I came up with. We all want to be loved and cared for . We all fear being abandoned by loved ones. Then we have kids of our own n fear being abandoned, by them ,even though it’s some what inevitable. Even though I’m not a parent , this is hurtful too see.
Just like us Woody grew up. Such a well thought out movie series, I'm 33 and now I feel bad about my Woody I got after the 1st movie came out. Maybe my mom still has him in the basement
It’s true. This clicked when I could relate to Woody watching Andy grow up and looking after Bonnie tirelessly, yet never being thanked for it. I’m not a parent, but an older sibling, and I played a parental role in her rearing.
Toy Story 1: Letting go of your ego in favor of helping someone else Toy Story 2: Letting go of your fear in favor of staying in the present Toy Story 3: Letting go of your past so you can move onto the future Toy Story 4: Letting go of your identity in favor of becoming something new yet equally important
Likewise, that's what I love the most about "The Take", their insightful analysis always give us food for thought, and make us appreciate their messages all the more!😊
The Take should do a video on Stephen King's "Misery" as an explanation of "Toxic Fandom". You know, like the people who are so invested in other's people's creations that when those same creators decide to change their aesthetic, or narrative choices, the fan reacts with anger and resentment.
Ummm...thing is the meaning of that film is already made pretty clear by the film itself and is commonly known. There's nothing really there to talk about or uncover that the film doesn't already. It'd be like doing a video on "Toxic Fandom" with the Futurama episode with Stark Trek and Melllvar
omg does anything in this franchise not make me angry cry. I can't wait to see 4, these themes are so rich. So deeply tragic. This is such a classic series.
“Once they accept it the fear of abandonment is no longer so scary because all those year leading up the goodbye were worth it” that is something that can be related to real life think of a way to put that message into way you can reassure yourself when you are afraid.
Wow, no wonder their movies are so great. Right now, I am 16 years old and a junior in high school. It will be almost time to graduate from childhood/grade school to adulthood/college and it honestly scares me. It is scary after so many years, I won't be a kid anymore. I will be out the house and starting a new chapter out of my life. I know nothing won't stop it from coming and it's still scary, but I'll enjoy the months leading up to it. Anyone else feel anything similar to this?
This is a very well written analysis of the series of the 4 Toy Story movies. This gives great insight into the deeper meaning behind these cinematic masterpieces. Well done.
I agree, great analysis... Yet I would have preferred a Toy Story 4 about Woody meeting Andy again as an adult, or even an old man. First he was a son, then he was a father, in the end he can meet him as a brother and a friend. And maybe, just maybe, they could've even - finally - shared some words. But who knows, that might still be a possibility for Toy Story 5.
Likewise, much like "Finding Nemo", I'm really starting to appreciate the hidden themes and metaphors that are subtly present throughout, which just makes me love it all the more!💖
I’ve always known Toy Story to be about our fear of abandonment but have never recognised it due to my own fear of it. It’s great that you’ve analysed this fear and how we can overcome issues related to abandonment. And welcome to the Team Isaac!
man i so can't wait to see toy story 4 next weekend (hopefully) and i very much 100% agree to all you've said about them movies for infinity and beyond
Thank you The Take for enlightening and wording out what these movies portray for older audiences. Your videos continually inform me of so many things that child me hadn't noticed and it's so refreshing to view these movies in a better light. And damn do your videos always make me cry, they're beautiful and keep up the amazing work.
Hardly stopped nodding my head in agreement to this. It’s thematically fascinating this franchise. Part of what makes this franchise so resonating to people around the world is that it reminds people of their imagination and association with growing up.
I love this accurate description this makes me wanna watch toy story all over again because I never understood it was about rejection when I was a kid now I understand it thanks to u
And I just realized how much my mom’s and I’s relationship is fucked up. She literally reminds me what she’s going to do after I go of to college anytime it comes up
I literally cried at the theatre when I realized woody was gonna stay behind. I cried so fucking much and then came the scene and I was like I knew it noooooo:(((
It makes so much sense, thinking about it everyone I know who is nihilistic and tries to convince other people to be nihilistic have had horrible childhoods, or still hate their parents as an adult
Always my favorite channel who bring meaning to thing I loved! Keep up! So emotional seeing Toy Story 4... But yes! Reinventing and letting go is necessary in life
You mentioned that they view Andy as a godlike figure. I think it speaks to more than just abandonment. It is also the loss of meaning and purpose in life. We fixate our purpose or meaning on one singular entity (such as a person or career). Toy Story 4 ends with a plurality of purposes and meanings for Woody and Bo. Think similarly to how Pixar answered the question of purpose and meaning in Soul. Life and meaning are granted by the memory the child in these films. Hence why Wheezy feels sick in the second one. Lotso has practically lost his soul in the third one. They forget the Earth in Wall-E and it begins to die before they return (and therefore their memory does) and vegetation begins again. Those who are forgotten in Coco, die the second death.
This movie was my childhood. I cried the 4th movie more than the 3rd movie bcuz of how it ended it was bittersweet but aslo the very last time u see them which makes it sad u had 2 say good bye of what u knew and move on and I think it was done well.
I agree with this video thank you for putting it out there to everyone, I disagree with "The person at the center of our world wont need or want us anymore" do you mean in death? because of death that does not mean that person does not want us
My 9 year old daughter recently brought up that the plot of Toy Story isn’t actually supposed to take place. It’s a movie played by actors because at the end of the film there are bloopers and outtakes. Weirdly, I never made that connection. I always viewed it as the animators having fun.
I think this also similarly applies to WALL•E and what it means to surpass just your surface level “goal” or directive, we see through WALL•E how he moved past his directive and made a life of his own and through his experience and time, whilst Eve by contrast is so fixated on her mission she neglects and ignores the life around her and gets frustrated probably feeling like a failure when in contrast WALL•E’s world now revolves around her, so when he’s hurt and he gives her the plant, she throws it away proclaiming him as her new directive and now just wants to get him home and being the reason she still decides to get the plant. Goddamnit Pixar and making me feel an existential crisis with every movie, especially Soul.....
I was surprised to hear a new voice. Welcome to the team, excellent analysis on one of my favorite Disney series. I would love a video on The Lion King in the future my other favorite Disney series.

It’s important that Woody’s relationship with Bo Peep is romantic and reciprocal. They share different world views and they’re both independent, talented people. They can live on their own and they support each other emotionally, but they don’t need each other to survive. No kids, no parents, just living for yourself.
MOST Pixar Films are about becoming obsolete, thats like the pixar formula, as an opposite to Disney in which the formula is about a hero wanting to 'see more' of the world, pixar formulas are almost always about a hero who does something to prevent becoming obsolete. There's a good video here on youtube about that.
Love this channel videos. Its so great to see what you guys are seeing when you watch these movies. Thanks for these videos. They don't just solve puzzles about the movies,these videos inspire me in a way.
