Disney has shared many themes over the years of movies and shows and even books. There is one theme that came from Disney Pixar's first hit movie Toy Story and that theme is Friendship! Friendship that you didn't even know could flourish or even happen because you were jealous of the new kid in town or in the movie's case toy in town.
So, let's start with the universe. The movie is set in a universe where all the concerns and problems where all toys in the world can come alive and interact with each other and make a family within a community.

Some of the toys have personal concerns like Bo Peep for instance she is worried about her and Woody’s relationship and how that is going lately while Rex is worried about his roar that is isn’t’ loud and scary enough. Another theme in this movie along with friendship is threat the way that is shown in the film by how the toys react to Andy getting new toys the toys don’t want to get replaced just look at the conflict Woody has gotten himself into with Buzz because he was threatened by Buzz because he thinks that he is Woody’s replacement toy. This is also shown by how the toys react when Woody gets Buzz to fall out of the window the other toys accuse him of being a murderer only to protect themselves because the threat is how they base their actions on like picking moving buddies, sending the toy army men soldiers down to spy on the presents that Andy gets all because of the threat of being replaced.

    Another similarity between 1984 and Toys is the setup of the book. During 1984 the book is split into three smaller books. In book one it shows Winston’s conflict with the outside world and his inner conflict of wanting to commit thought crime and wanting to do the right thing. The second book shows us how Winston believes the Party and Big Brother are wrong. For example Julia and Winston engage in sexual intercourse, an act of rebellion against the party.…

    The girl might learn that it is expected to use artificial products to be considered pretty 6. I believe that these toys for boys and girls are important to children’s socialization because they are teaching them what to except society wants in the future. When children cannot communicate verbally, toys become a great tool for planting seeds of how society wants them to function as a part of society. These toys enforce what societies views of how they should be brought up. For example, when a young boy gets hurt, society says not to cry and walk it off.…

    The first lesson that had an impact was Catmull’s advice to keep looking for problems before they surface and that many times problems are hidden. Catmull speaks several times of issues that he identifies and some that he did not see until they impacted the entire organization. During production of the first Toy Story Catmull had an open door policy and because of this he assumed any problems that arose would be brought to him. He was blinded by this policy and didn’t realize the rift that was being created between the project managers and the artists and technical staff. This is an important lesson than can be translated into many facets of life.…
