Toy Story Analysis

However rather than them switching their allegiance from Woody to Buzz it is more a result of Woody's own insecurity turning him into a bully than Buzz's arrival which makes the other toys turn on him. However they both learn that when Woody pushes them into a difficult situation they aren't so different from each other after all and that working together they can get home.
             Although it is blindingly obvious that Woody and Buzz are the heroes of the story they not the traditional Disney heroes. Woody quickly becomes jealous and insecure with the arrival of Buzz and this turns him into a bully. Not the characteristics expected of a Disney hero. This is shown in the way Woody constantly ridicules Buzz making fun of his name and teases him maliciously about the fact he thinks he actually is a space ranger. This brings us on to Buzz. He is super confidant and suffers from delusions of grandeur. However although he may be a little irritating he is still likeable, cheerful and helpful. He has too much confidence in own abilities. This is why when he sees the advertisement for Buzz Lightyear Action figures he completely loses his will to live and is unable to do anything. This is another theme that self belief has a reflection in what you are able to do as they both find out at the end in that when they have confidence in themselves they are able to rise above seemingly insurmountable obstacles in rescuing Buzz and getting back to Andy. Another theme is that of appearances being deceptive. Woody and Buzz immediately consider the toys in Sid's room as evil. The audience also get this feeling. Not only do they look disturbing but also they are also associated with Sid who is the main evil character. Despite their initial fears, Woody and Buzz are soon convinced that Sid's warped creations are also prisoners and are in fact friends. It turns out that without the intervention of Sid's toys Sid would have killed Buzz and Woody.
