Representation

The movie I picked was: Toy Story because its was one of my favorite movies when i was little. For me it was more than just an animated movie about toys coming to life.

Analyzing this movie brought me to the understanding that it is about a complicated discussion of one's own worth and identity that is presented via the different paths of Woody and Buzz Lightyear, two of the main characters. In the beginning, Andy's favorite toy and group leader is Woody, the loved cowboy doll. This position is crucial to his identity, and it threatens when Buzz, a bright space ranger, shows around. Woody's fear of being replaced is a reflection of his fundamental concerns about being forgotten, a struggle that anyone enduring change or competition can relate to. 

 Meanwhile, Buzz Lightyear stands in for a character who, at first, is mistaken for a true space hero and thinks he's more than simply a toyHis path is about becoming self-aware, coming to terms with his situation, and realizing the value of being part of Andy's toy community. This change rejects the idea that value comes from extravagance or tangible achievements, demonstrating that what matters most is being loved and a part of other people's lives.  

 Through Woody and Buzz’s evolving friendship, Toy Story conveys themes of cooperation, personal growth, and the acceptance of change. Their relationship moves from rivalry to mutual respect, offering a deeper message that value isn’t about status or power, but about belonging and supporting those around you.
