This is beautiful. The shift from watching Toy Story as a child (pure possibility) to as a parent (seeing endings, growth, and chosen beginnings) is something I felt too.
Toy Story 3 and 4 hit completely different when you’re no longer the kid in the room.
Your line about the inner child walking beside us into every new chapter is one of the best things I’ve read about these films. Thank you for this. Beautifully written.
Thank you for your incredibly thoughtful reply. It is hard to fully articulate that feeling that sits with you, particularly after so much time of having watched as a child, and now as a parent. This is something special about film, and something special we can all share.
