If you've been following this series you'll be familiar with a concept I've been talking about called the "Disney Proxy" which in short, replaces a child's authority figures (parents) and replaces them with Disney characters (intellectual property). Toy Story ups the ante here with "Pixar Proxy" which does the same thing, but in a new 3d realm.

Unironically, Toy Story is the establishment of a new era of this dynamic using digital homunculi (plural of homunculus, if you're wondering). Perhaps one of the most nefarious tropes to show kids: that their inanimate (name brand only!) toys and material possessions love them back.
