After the movie

    1.       Do you like this movie? Why or why not?

   Yes, we liked this movie. The idea of supposedly inanimate objects not only being able    to talk but also having emotions is a very refreshing concept. Light, yet enjoyable for    the whole family and not just children.

    4.       All movies teach a lesson (theme or moral). What did you                 learn from this movie?

          a.    Do not take anyone or anything for granted.

-      Woody initially did not like Buzz because he was worried he would no longer be Andy’s favourite toy and the leader of the other toys.

-      We assume we can bully and be rough with our toys just because they have no feelings.

          b.    Don’t judge people by their appearances.

-      Sid’s scary looking toys turned to be very friendly and helpful.

          c.    Friendship and loyalty

-      The toys try everything in their power to rescue Buzz and turn against Woody because they think he killed him.

-      Woody and Buzz make Sid promise not to bully his toys anymore even though they just met each other.
