54a 54b. The claw tells them its their master now, even though Buzz thought he was in charge… not anymore. In some ways I think this is a metaphor for the bigger corporation at work who controls both Disney and Pixar. I just don’t know who that is. Or the claw could represent the kids, who in some ways control both of em cause if they keep arguing and creatively can’t sort themselves out, the movie won’t get finished and the kids will be without a movie and ultimately suffer.
55. While they continue to bicker, one alien reminds them that they are not the boss anymore, same thing I said in #54.
56a 56b. Buzz gets chosen, and Woody tries to leave but gets dragged back by the toys. Disney trying to take the easy way out, but Pixar is saying “No I want you to see this”
57. “Let’s go home and play” Right now, Disney is Sid, trying to make them do what they don’t wanna do…
58. Buzz and the alien still think this is part of the game, but Woody reminds them they won’t be coming back out… I know there’s a metaphor here I just can’t get my head around it.
59. Sids dog doesn’t like toys lol.
60a 60b. Sid tries to bully Woody, trying to make him talk, then 5 seconds later he jumps up for poptarts, reminding us how fast he is to change attitude. Just like any other business person, they try to act tough, but give em what they want and they immediately shut up lol.
61a 61b. Be quiet around the boss, or he’ll wake up and try to eat you / give you a lecture…
62. After watching some tv commercial, Buzz finally realizes he’s just a toy…
63. He tries to fly, but falls. Again the flying is a metaphor for the box office / making Disney proud, even though Buzz mostly represents Disney. Woody (Pixar) told him he can’t fly, but Disney thought they could do it anyway, and they failed.
64. Even though you didn’t please Disney, kids will still appreciate you. Or this could be saying, after you failed and learned your lesson, a kid might wanna give you a second chance.
65. And it’s okay to have an identity crisis after something like that…
66a 66b. Buzz is sad that he couldn’t fly out the window, but Woody suggests the other window is a better idea. In any company, sometimes you have the right idea, but not the right method, and others can help you with that.
67. “Years of Academy training wasted” = “Years of animated experience wasted” jokingly, obviously.
68. Now Woody needs help from Buzz, but he’s in his own little world. This looks like another Disney vs Pixar moment. They just got done yelling at them over a silly idea, now Disney needs help, but Pixar would rather mess around a little more, especially after they wanna be bullies.
69. Sid (Disney) is back, wanting to destroy more ideas…
70a 70b. He’s looking for 1 idea (Woody) and can’t find him, but accidentally steps on another idea (Buzz) and uses him…
