oh man, I could just see my friends and I reaching out and holding each others hands just like that. In the 3rd movie, at the dump with the incinerator. It was more than just a "toy story", it was a trilogy about the love of a family made of imperfect "people" working together through love. In essence, these sort of friends who love of this deeply are more than friends, they are our family through love, as the toys recognized themselves as a family. They are not fooled by the mistakes we made or the dark images we hold about ourselves, but rather they remember our beauty when we feel ugly, our wholeness when we are broken, our innocence when we feel guilty, and our purpose when we are confused. They know you may not be perfect, but they see you for who you truly are. He later comes out of it with the help of Woody, as the people who love you will always help you in these hard times. I had to laugh when Buzz had his psychotic break resulting from this realization, as I too know what it's like to struggle with depression. We all have to go through this realization. This could be from your first break-up with "the one", not passing a crucial course, or perhaps being let go from your first dream job. To me, when Buzz Lightyear discovered he was "just a toy", it was coming to a realization that we (as humans) are not as glorious as our ego sometimes leads us to believe, rather we are flawed and imperfect. But, as I am older and the Toy Story trilogy is one of the best of all time, I decided to rewatch it as an adult. Yeah, I was emotionally a late bloomer, so I never fully liked Toy Story movies growing up.
