The original is fantastic and a great introduction to kick everything off. And Toy Story 2 is the third best in the series, at best. Spoken like a true victim of having his heart broken by being thrown away by people that he thought loved him. We're all just trash, waiting to be thrown away! That's all a toy is! It's like an adult committing crimes that was molested as a doesn't excuse the behavior obviously, but does possibly explain it. Also, not to excuse his behavior (but I know that's sort of what I am doing), but he was betrayed by his kid, Daisy (and her parents - more them than her, but still), when he was forgotten and then replaced. But he didn't turn insane until Andy's group of toys started trying to have things their own way and not respect the ways of Sunnyside. Lotso was a genocidal monster and the second most evil Pixar villain after Syndrome and possibly tied with Ernesto De La Cruz. quote:Ģ) Lotso wasn’t about fairness but power. Sharing the load means the new toys (fresh toys) deal with the Caterpillar kids and earn their way into the Butterfly kids. Yes, this is sort of tongue in cheek a little bit, but all in all Lotso isn’t some insane dictator for the first half of the movie.ġ) All the toys die if they’re there long enough. And it seems like most of the existing toys at SS should be mad at some uppity group waltzing in and expecting to be put in the Butterfly Room with no respect for how things work there. But at least initially, his intentions seem relatively reasonable. ![]() So I’m not trying to defend his ultimate actions in the end (especially at the dump/incinerator). But that was after they continuously ignored the set up at Sunnyside and broke the rules over and over (and escaped). Now obviously he is insane in the end, and pretty ruthless with how he treats the group with acting like a prison warden. Well they could’ve done that the entire time, even under Lotso. And even in the end when Ken and Barbie are running things, the toys take breaks and rest from the young kids. ![]() But a lot of these toys are made for young kids anyway, so why is it such a problem that the kids play tough with them? They aren’t experimenting with them like Sid did in the first one. New toys at Sunnyside have to come in and pay their dues with the young kids in the Caterpillar Room and sort of “earn” their right to get thrown in with the older kids of the Butterfly Room who play less rough. ![]() And watching now, I can’t help but think that Lotso’s “rules” for new toys aren’t really that unreasonable. So we watch 3 a good bit since it’s the best of the four films. And he’s obsessed with Woody and the TS movies. Now that my son is old enough to enjoy Pixar movies, we watch them pretty regularly.
