is it just for fun?
Or is there a real reason behind the murder and madness?
Whats up guys, I’m your host Joce and welcome back to Top 10: Beyond the Screen.
Don’t forget to subscribe while you’re here and hangout with me until the end of
this video where I’ll do some comment shoutouts.
Today I’m here to take one of your favourite childhood movies and tell you all the dark
and twisted theories about it.
I promise I’m not trying to ruin Disney for you, but people have come up with some
disturbing theories about such an innocent film, that I just HAVE to share.
Today I’ll be sharing the Top 10 Dark Toy Story Fan Theories.
I’ll let you guys know my thoughts so make sure you let me know in the comments what
you think!
Alright, here we go!
10) Starting us off in number, the theory that Toy Story 3 is about the illuminati.
One of the most ludicrous conspiracy theories talked about on the internet.
Floating around is the idea that Toy Story 3 has symbolism to the illuminati, a conspiracy
group that controls the world.
The first thing to set this theory in action was the films big villain Lots-O-Huggin’
Bear.
He was a devious antagonist who ended up changing Buzz Lightyear’s settings from PLAY to DEMO.
This was done so that Lots-O could brainwash and control Buzz to spy for him.
It’s the behavior of this scene that has people comparing it to the Illuminati and
their power of control.
But wait, there’s more.
The other big piece of evidence that people talk about is the dialogue spoken by a Ken
Doll.
When talking about Lots-O, he says “he’s made us into a pyramid and put himself on
top”.
It’s an odd piece of dialogue that people think refers to the famous image of the Illuminati
conspiracy group: the pyramid with an eye at its peak.
Are people looking into things a little too much?
Or is this a valid way of thinking?
I’ll leave that up to you.
9) In at number 9 we have the fan theory that Woody helped Andy get through his dads death.
Wait?
Andy’s dad died?
Apparently fans are saying that Woody wasn’t originally Andy’s toy but was infact his
dads toy.
Woody is a rare and expensive doll from the ‘50s television show, Woodys Roundup.
That’s why he was stolen in Toy Story 2, for being so rare.
So how did the 6 year old boy get his hands on such an old treasured toy?
Fans are believing he was passed down to Andy from his passed father.
This theory has some evidence to back it up because in Toy Story 2, we hear Andy’s mom
tell Al from Al’s Toy Bard, that Woody wasn’t for sale because it was a family possession.
Also, there’s speculation that the house in Toy Story had pictures of a boy that didn’t
look like Andy.
People believe that they were pictures of Andy’s father as a boy.
It might explain Andy’s father’s absence and why they never talk about him.
It’s actually so true- we never hear anything about Andy’s dad.
Interesting.
8) Speaking of Andy, in spot number 8 we have the theory that Andy is a clone.
At the beginning of Toy Story , we are introduced to Andy who is celebrating his 6th birthday.
Exciting right?!
Ya, he’s having a party and invited his friends to it.
Which if you look closely, you’ll notice that Andy’s friends have a striking resemblance
to Andy.
It’s weird when you notice it and it’s hard not to pay attention to it once you do.
This is the evidence fans have used to create the theory that Andy is a clone.
There is a reason though that is far less sinister than that theory.
It’s possible that Pixar didn’t want to blow its budget on extra character designs
and used their very early technology to replicate the faces.
If so, the move was a gamble, and guess what, you got caught!
7) Another sinister fan theory is the theory that Sid is a child of abuse.
Quite an accusation for a Disney character but fans are confident that they have evidence
to back it up.
We meet Sid in the first Toy Story film where he spends all his time destroying and killing
toys, he’s downright sadistic.
A lot of fans believe this is because he’s the product of an alcoholic and abusive farther.
We never actually meet Sids parents, but the theory elevated from the one time his dad
is actually visible.
The scene inside of Sids living room with his father passed out in the recliner in front
of the tv, with questionable cans on the floor next to him.
The one can says COLA, but fans are thinking they could represent beer, which is the reason
he’s passed out on the recliner.
It doesn’t help his case that the living room is also filled with mess and clutter.
Diving deeper into this theory, fans have pointed out some evidence of neglect that
Sid faced.
We see that he gets a toy rocket mailed to him at his house.
In the 90’s, it wasn’t as easy as going online and buying something, online shopping
wasn’t a big thing like it is now.
He must have had one of his parents get it for him, which would mean they didn’t even
care that this toy was dangerous and potentially life-threatening.
All of this just makes ya wonder whether Sid was just seeking attention by behaving so
badly.
6) Spot number 6 is filled with the theory that Bo Peep wasn’t originally Woody’s
girlfriend.
Ouuuu fans are being savage trying to come between people’s relationships like that.
The theory goes that the first Toy Story movie didn’t have Bo Peep as Woody’s girlfriend
because they had another famous doll in mind.
Barbie.
Barbie was supposed to be his love interest.
But the toy company Mattel, didn’t have the same faith in Toy Story like Pixar did.
Mattel thought that the movie would be a fail so they declined the rights to use Barbie
in the film, which meant Woody needed an alternative girlfriend.
So basically what fans are saying is that Bo Peep was second best.
How nice.
But the real joke is on Mattel because once they saw the success of the movie, they opted
for their dolls to be in Toy Story 2….which they were.
I think Woody and Bo Peep make a much cuter couple anyways.
5) Alright guys, here we are at number 5 with the theory that Wheezy is the villain of Toy
Story 2.
Not only do I love Bo Peep, but I also adored the cute penguin squeaky toy.
And don’t lie to yourself, you did too.
How could you not?
The poor little guy seemed so desperate to get his squeak back, it was almost impossible
not to have sympathy for him.
But, fans are ruining this memory for me because they are claiming that Wheezy didn’t have
the best intentions for Woody, Buzz, and the other toys.
They believe that the events of Toy Story 2 happened BECAUSE of Wheezy.
The evidence they are using to back up their claim is that Wheezy was one of Andy’s favourite
toys for a few months before he was put on the top shelf and forgotten about.
We’ve seen that toys get jealous of other toys, like when Woody initially disliked Buzz.
Wheezy must have felt the same way when he was put away for months.
They believe his jealousy fueled a plan that put Woody at the yard sale; he knew it was
his best shot to get rid of Andy’s new favourite toy so he could become the favourite again.
I don’t know guys, Wheezy just doesn’t seem like the jealous type.
4) Speaking of toys, at number 4 we have the theory that Sid’s mutant toys were inspired
by real ones.
One of the creepiest moments as a kid was watching Sid’s gang of mutant toys emerge
from the shadows of his room.
Although they weren’t evil, they sure were creepy looking.
We found out at the end of the movie that they weren’t evil because they helped Woody
and Buzz escape from Sid’s house.
They must have just been victims to Sid’s frightening imagination…
However, the scariest part though is that the figures were inspired by actual toys.
The toys were featured in a collection at a museum in Marin, California.
The animators were inspired by this and made their own mutant toy using an action figure
and a Hulk Hogan toy that inspired the ones featured in the film.
Well, that’s one museum exhibit I have no interest in seeing.
3) Since we’re talking about creepy toys, that brings us to number 3 with the theory
that woody was originally a creepier doll.
During the early development of Toy Story, Pixar had a very different vision for Woody.
He was originally going to be a ventriloquist dummy, but when Disney saw that, producers
had a few notes about the cowboy toy.
This was a good call on Disney’s part because when the concept art for Woody was released,
it was a bit unsettling.
yeah…no thanks.
Disney, and the rest of the human population probably, thought that a ventriloquist dummy
created a sense of creepiness that is hard to ignore.
If this is all true, fans believe that they changed the look of the doll so that their
profits wouldn’t take a significant hit.
They didn’t want kids to fear the toys or else they wouldn’t buy them as merchandise.
Plus, what kid wants to be afraid of their toys?
This is why they think Pixar listened and changed Woody to the pull-string doll we all
know and love.
A less creepy option for sure.
2) Here we are at number 2 with the theory that the toys are immortal.
Aren’t you wondering how the writers can keep making Toy Story movies?
Well, this super depressing theory that Woody and the gang can only perish if they’re
physically crushed or burned, and that they will continue to forget their old owners and
live out the same cycle forever.
I told you, depressing.
People began speculating this theory when it was taken to social media.
One father tweeted out “ My daughter just ruined Toy Story forever.
She said if one of the toys died Andy wouldn’t know and he’d carry on playing with its
corpse”.
Gross right?
But the girl kind of has a point.
Andy doesn’t know that his toys come alive when he leaves the room, so logically he wouldn’t
know that they die either.
But these two ideas kind of contradict themselves….
If they can only die by being crushed or burned, then surely Andy wouldn’t play with them
anymore.
But if they remain alive forever and aren’t immortal, they would die as time goes on and
Andy would infact be playing with a toy corpse.
I’m not sure which one I like better.
Can I pick neither?
1) At number 1 we have a VERY SERIOUS theory that Toy Story 3 is a modern retelling of
the Holocaust.
Whoa.
Fans say that the film shares similarities with the horrific events that took place during
the Holocaust.
One piece of evidence is Buzz Lightyear’s suggestion that they hide in the attic to
avoid being donated, some are speculating that this relates to when the Jews would hide
to escape prosecution.
Anne Frank’s story would go hand-in-hand, as she was one of the Jewish victims who was
in hiding from 1942-1944.
They would often hide in the attic of houses.
Fans also believe the toys being sent to Sunnyside Daycare represented people being set off to
concentration camps during World War II.
The comparison being that the toys are overused and mistreated by the children of Sunnyside
while being locked up by Lots-O, the same way the Jews were powerless and abused in
the camps.
The last and very dark piece of evidence is that the toy’s story nearly ended with them
being incinerated at the town dump.
I think you get the gyst of this theory.
If I read too much into this theory, my whole childhood could be ruined.
So let’s end it there!
