I'm honestly surprised it hasn't happened more than once

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 months ago

I should have done that. My ex wrote her name on the bottom of my boot and that just never occurred to me.

I should really watch Toy Story. I think it’s time.

[–] [email protected] 73 points 3 months ago

It's only been out 29 years, might wanna wait until all the reviews are out

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Be sure to follow it up with 2. It's one of the few instances where a sequel is actually superior to the original.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

But whatever do, don't watch any further than 2. You'll just be disappointed. Especially with the 4th film.

They didn't at first, needed time for it to marinate

I hated it so much that I stopped watching about an hour in. It's just too depressing.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

I wasn’t as big a fan of the first one but thought the second (where this scene is from) was excellent. I can’t remember if I’ve seen the more recent ones.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Hey, I haven't seen Toy Story either.

In Toy Story the child, Andy, wrote his name on the bottom of the toy’s shoe signifying that was his toy. The toy, Woody, took that as a point of pride, but in the second movie he ::: gets taken from a garage sale by a toy collector and goes to a restoration specialist who among other things paints over the child’s name. ::: Woody accepts this name removal as final proof that he is no longer loved by Andy and no longer belongs to him and is ready to move on to the next phase of his existence. Since the microblogger is also named Andy, her ex used this image to show the finality of their breakup, and it’s probably somewhat devastating depending on the age of the people involved when Toy Story 2 came out.

This is deep. I never watched the movies myself back in the day. A few years ago I found out what they were about, and I decided it's for the best since I have issues with abandonment.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

There have been a number of Pixar movies that have been deeper than any kids’ movie would be expected to be. I didn’t feel like the first was as good as the second, perhaps because it was kind of an experiment to do a 3D animated feature film so they wanted to keep things a bit simpler. The result is one of those rare occasions where the sequel was better than the original.

But yes, if you have abandonment issues it could be a rough movie. Or maybe a little healing. Woody wasn’t supposed to be at the yard sale to begin with and was actually stolen. In the end Woody is rescued and reunited with Andy and brings along Jessie, who was lost by her human. She finds a new home with Andy and his other toys.

I think he's pulling our legs, pretending like there's someone who hasn't seen Toy Story.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Toy story 2 is 25 yrs old.

Go fuck yourself The '90s will forever be 10 years ago.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Uh, the '80s are 10 years ago? And things remain great here in the 90s! If we somehow manage to weather this Y2K crisis, I have a feeling it can only get better from here!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

You take that back

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

I have not, but i know enough context from memes.

Apparently there's a superstition stating you can write the name of the person you fell in love with on your shoe, and if it doesn't wear off it's reciprocated.

This sign might be like "okay, so the writing should go off since you don't love me, Andy, and I'll do it myself since the fate didn't already".

Kinda like "the love is dead", and burning bridges.

TIL, and you might have too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Or the more brutal angle: removing the name because he no longer cares if the love is reciprocated.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

This reminds me of my ex gf 😅 not only does she enjoy "kid" shows and movies, but HER NAME IS ANDY TOO. That image would definitely dealt some damage. For us though we broke off on good terms. Right person, wrong time, wrong place :(
