That song from Pinocchio, 'When You Wish Upon a Star,' is the perfect summary of Walt's approach to life: dream big dreams, even hopelessly impossible dreams, because they really can come true. Sure, it takes work, focus and perseverance. But anything is possible. Walt proved it with the impossible things he accomplished."1 It is well documented that Walt Disney had big dreams and made several large gambles to propel his visions. From the creation of Steamboat Willie in 1928 to the first color feature film, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves” in 1937, and the creation of Disneyland in Anaheim, CA during the 1950’s, Disney risked his personal assets as well as his studio to build a reality from his dreams. While Walt Disney passed away in the mid 1960’s, his quote, “If you can dream it, you can do it,”2 still resonates in the corporate world and operations of The Walt Disney Company.
  • Disability in Toy Story Ethan Faust

    Disability in Toy Story Ethan Faust

    Rejecting the Stereotypes Built into Material Culture: Disability in Toy Story Ethan Faust y presenting the imagined lives of the toys alongside tradi- tional depictions of child-toy relationships, Pixar’s Toy Story Bfilms offer an in-depth examination of how material culture affects developing children. They show how cultural rhetoric and the material form and function of toys themselves can produce societal anxieties and reinscribe stereotypes. Critical essays on the films have looked at the ways the toys comment on gender. However, no one thus far has written about how disability, omnipresent throughout the three films, interacts with the material culture in the Toy Story franchise. Though my analysis will largely focus on the first, I will examine all three films both individually and as a collective unit. The first Toy Story (1994), which scrutinizes perceptions of disability in the most depth, utilizes the horror genre to critique assumptions about monstrosity and combat the learned anxiety about those who are different. Toy Story 2 (1999) shows how adults create and sustain an ideology about the perfect body, which they pass on to their chil- dren through their rhetoric about toys. Toy Story 3 (2010), in turn, offers the comprehensive message that while material culture may have stereotypes sewn into its seams, young children still possess the potential to thwart those negative assumptions. I will argue that the franchise uses Woody’s experiences with broken toys (disabled in the toy world) to subvert the stereotypes built into society through 44 Ethan Faust material culture and to suggest that children are the ones who have the potential to break down demeaning cultural assumptions about the disabled.

How the character sees himself and how others see him? It includes shape, color, race, beliefs, and choices in life. The more the storyteller gives identity to his animated character, the more it is sound and convincing. In that sense, it touches the audiences’ hearts as they feel its pain or happiness. In other words, they are involved in the story and united with the character. As the story begins, characters and settings are presented before the audience to get an overview of the characters’ identity. Then, more elements are to show up, like the conflict, the problem that needs to be solved and the rising actions, which are series of events that lead to the high main point or the climax. It is considered as a turning point of the story after which the falling actions come. The falling actions are events and complications that start to loosen the plot. Gradually, the solution shows up as the story ends either happily or tragically.
