If it upsets you again we can talk about it after. So do you want to go for an ice cream sundae?ĭ: I don't know if I'm ready for another. They don't whack you over the head with it.ĭ: Okay. The sad feeling is there, but you have to notice it. Because-I don't know, the movie isn't, uh Too loud? Too pushy? Like they're trying too hard to make you cry? After the movie I wanted to wash my hands and face, I felt so sticky. But we're suppose to find that funny?ĭ: Didn't you find that last scene just a little bit moving? S: Hung up in front of a truck, eating bugs for the rest of his life? Okay, maybe. I hate it when people pull that on me in a movie. I can't just change my mind in the middle of the action. If someone saved my life, sure I can get nasty on them afterward, but there's got to be a good reason. S: Then why did he bother acting grateful? That really bugged me. S: That Lotso guy-he was nasty, right? And then they saved his life, right? So why did he turn back to being nasty? Plus I had another problem with that part of the movie. So I've seen death and dying before in cartoons. Pom Poko it's like a whole people gone-poof!-just like that. S: In some ways that was actually worse than Grave of the Fireflies. You showed me another movie from the same guy, the one about raccoons?ĭ: Oh, tanukis. I almost cried when I saw Grave of the Fireflies, only I didn't. told me his dad cried when they saw Saving Private Ryan. Honest? The movie just told things the way they are, no fooling.ĭ: I remember you didn't cry in that one either. It wasn't as funny or as fast-moving as this movie, but it was, I don't know how to put it. S: They didn't have a pair of aliens send down a crane arm to save them, did they? Remember when you showed me that movie about the two Japanese kids in World War 2?ĭ: Oh. If they were my toys, I'd have donated them a long time ago.ĭ: And the incinerator? When they were clinging to each other and getting ready for the end? Didn't that make you tear up, just a little bit? Woody and Buzz and company, they're so darn clingy. The toys up and went their own way, had their own adventures. The toys in that movie liked the boy and the boy cared for the toys, but they didn't hold on to each other as if they'd die if they let go. S: Andy's leaving his toys behind, but why the big fuss? Where is it written that toys have to be played with, or that a toy's greatest purpose is to give a child joy? If we're talking about toys that can think for themselves.I mean, what about that other movie, about toy soldiers against, whatchamacallem, those toy monsters-ĭ: Oh, Joe Dante's Small Soldiers (19 98). They haven't grown up, not really.ĭ: Haven't grown up? But the movie's about Andy leaving his toys behind. But even when they say they're doing grown-up stuff, they're only saying that. American animated movies are always funny, and they make cool chase scenes. At least they put in more cool stuff.ĭ: Didn't you at least find the jokes funny? S: I keep thinking the Japanese are more adult or advanced when it comes to animation. I learned something about Greek culture, and Roman culture, and even how to fight back against two men with guns when all I have is a spoon, how to survive in the desert, all that. Remember that TV series we watched last year, that Master something.? They don't really make movies that I might want to watch. They must think I still go to kindergarten. They made a movie about cars, a movie about a small junkyard robot, and a movie about balloons. Pixar's made three movies so far about toys. S: Well-for one thing, the movie's mostly for kids.ĭ: Never mind. What do you want me to say?ĭ: I don't know, I spent twenty-six dollars on our tickets, you could at least tell me why 'it's' only 'okay.'
