At the time of recording this video - a lot of people are getting very excited for Toy
Story 4 which is set to come out this Summer - 2019.
Toy Story is one of the biggest movies franchises of all time.
People older than me grew up with it and there will be little kids who are about to experience
Toy Story for the first time this year.
Its great.
We all love toy story - but how well do you know it?
While I was reading about the latest movie I stumbled across some pretty strange theories
about Toy Story.
The more I looked - the darker they got - I thought Id pick the best 10 out for you today
- my name is Danny Burke and this is the Top 10 Scary Toy Story Theories.
Starting off at number 10 we have Same Faces[a].
At the end of 2017, the Mirror posted an interesting story about the original toy story movie.
Have you ever noticed how similar the faces look in that movie?
When I say that, you may think I mean the toys faces, right?
I mean, theyre all basically plastic toys - in real life - plastic toys all kinda have
that similar vacant expression, a bit dead behind the eyes.
However, this story pointed out that the toys actually had quite different looking faces
- it was the children that looked creepily similar.
Early on in the movie we see Andy playing with his toys.
Later on, we see Andys friends attending his birthday party - and they look very similar
to Andy - like, almost identical.
They also look just like Andys neighbour Sid - the boy who likes to torture toys.
Whats going on here?
Why does every kid inthis movie have the same face?
Some people say that this is just a product of animation at the time.
Although Pixars animation still holds up almost 25 years on, they were still limited by what
they could do.
Others say that this isnt true because they managed to make the toys look so unique.
Some say that the humans in the movie are actually the toys and what we think are the
toys are really the living people - that would explain why theyre able to move and talk - but
also produces a whole bunch of other questions …
Next up at number 9 we have Andys Father[b].
Fans of Toy Story will notice the absence of Andys Father throughout the Toy Story movies.
Some people say that his parents just werent together but others think that Andys father
died.
One Reddit user suggested that Woody was the last toy that Andy received from his father.
Andys mother noticed how much Woody helped Andy through the grieving process and so she
kept buying him more and more toys to help him deal with his hurt.
This is why Andys toys remained in his toy box even when he was 18 years old - they werent
just toys to him - they were his last connection to his father.
Despite this, Andy decided to give them away when he goes to college - we see how much
it hurts him to do that.
If this theory is true - then the toys in toy story helped fill a dark place - they
were much more to Andy than just childhood toys …
Moving on to number 8 we have The Immortals[c].
This is a theory that came from Reddit and was written by Nameless88.
He said he thinks the toys in toy story are important - they cant die.
This doesnt mean they cant be destroyed, it just means they cant die of old age.
This means they will outlive every owner they ever have.
The toys time with Andy will just repeat all over again when he gets old and died.
This is disconcerting when you think about the tortured toys in the first movie that
are very much still alive, albeit horribly mangled - those toys are still alive, perhaps
they even feel the same pain as we do - and it will never end unless they are incinerated.
Taking them apart wont kill them - we once saw Mr Potato head able to feel and use his
body parts even though they werent near him.
This means that as long as a part of a toy lives on - they live on - forever.
Another creepy thought is that if humans one day go extinct, the toys may not.
They may live on forever - kind of like Wall E which is another well known Pixar movie.
The toys will live on for thousands, millions, or perhaps billions of years - unable to end
their lives unless through fiery suicide … what an unpleasant thought …
Next up at number 7 now we have Sids Family[d].
Many people see Sid as a villainous little kid who deserves no sympathy for creating
the mutant toys.
Well, there is a theory that Sid is actually the product of a neglectful family.
One piece of evidence for this is the rocket that was mailed to him at the house.
In the 90s, ordering things online werent as simple as they are these days - Sid must
have had one of his parents order it for him and they must not have cared that it was a
life threatening rocket that could have easily hurt their small kid.
Also, some people point to one shot of the Dad apparently passed out on the couch surrounded
by cola cans - they say that the cans only say Cola because they didnt want to show what
the cans really were - beer cans.
Of course, having a few beers and falling asleep on the couch isnt a bad thing by any
means - but people who push this theory say that it could be a sign of the fathers alcoholism
and of Sids neglect …
Moving on to number 6 we have The Toy Corpse[e].
This is a pretty dark theory that contradicts the immortal theory we heard before.
In July 2018, Baron Stigmund tweeted out that his daughter had ruined Toy Story for him
forever.
She said that if one of the toys died then Andy wouldnt know and hed carry on playing
with its corpse.
Before long, this tweet blew up with people sharing their shock and horror at this theory.
One user said this thought has scarred them for life … another thanked them for ruining
Toy Story for them as well.
What about you guys?
Is that thought gonna creep you out every time you watch Toy Story?
Coming in at number 5 we have The Illuminati[f].
This is perhaps one of the most bizarre theories Ive heard of so far.
I cant even quite wrap my head around it but here I go.
It was written on the brain bender site by David B. He says that the plot of Toy Story
3 is a clever predictive programming of what the Illuminati would do if they were in power.
They say that as Alex Jones predicts, if nuclear bombs ever went off in American cities, the
Illuminati would use it as an excuse to start the North American Union which is actually
the daycare from Toy Story 3.
At first this union will seem like a good thing but eventually it will lead to a nightmare
scenario.
If you arent sold on this theory, and neither am I, they provide one last piece of evidence
- Lotso the bear made a comment about constructing a pyramid with himself at the top - just like
the Illuminati pyramid.
If you wanna read the full story then go and check it out - perhaps you can make more sense
out of it than me …
Moving on to number 4 we have Special Training[g].
This theory came from Reddit user Octogenarian Sandwich.
He made a post where he address the issue about Buzz pretending to be a toy.
In the first Toy Story, youll remember that Buzz thinks he is an actual Space Ranger - he
refuses to acknowledge that he is a toy.
It takes a long time before Woody and the others can convince him.
OK - thats fine - but why does Buzz still freeze up when humans come into the room?
Thats something only toys do.
If he thinks he's a space ranger, then he should just act normally.
This theory states that he was trained to do that because he's a unique toy - perhaps
every Buzz Lightyear is a specially trained spy.
In order to fit in, Buzz has to do what every spy does - fit in with the locals - even if
this means pretending to freeze position when a human enters the room.
If this is true then who programmed all the buzz lightyears?
Where does this theory even end?
Moving on to number 3 now we have Sid the Saviour[h].
So this is the second time now where Im about to make you Sympathise with Sid.
This is the theory - Sid knows that toys are alive.
He learned this after they attacked him on Woodys command when Woody was trying to save
Buzz.
He also did it because he knew it was the only way to save the mutant toys from being
mashed together with parts that werent their own by Sid.
However - Sids new knowledge led him to become a garbage man in Toy Story 3 so that he could
save toys.
He does this to make sure all the toys that get thrown out arent chucked in the incinerator
or thrown to the dump.
People say he takes them back to his home and fixes them up - they might still be mutants
- but at least theyre alive …
Moving on to number 2 now we have Evil Woodie[i].
This is a theory posted by Reddit User Itchy Rabbit.
They suggested that Woody is not so different from Lotso the evil bear in Toy Story 3 - the
only difference is that Woody had a kid - Andy.
This is the only thing that saved him from being as evil as Loso.
If Andy had bought a new Woody toy in the first movie, then Woody would have turned
out just like Lotso - hurt, bitter and wanting revenge.
Both Woody and Lotso are leaders and they go through a lot to try and get back to their
kids.
For those people who see Woody as a perfect being, Itchy Rabbit points to Woodys dark
side in the first movie when he starts to feel he is being replaced by Buzz.
Luckily, everything turned out alright there - but in a parallel universe there may be
a Toy Story where Woody is the evil toy that needs to be overthrown …
And finally at number 1 we have The Holocaust[j].
This is number 1 for a reason - its not my theory - my job in this video is just to present
theories that other people come up with - and this is definitely the darkest I heard.
It came from John Hoffman of UGO who said that the toys being abandoned by Andy for
college is similar to Jewish people being abandoned by countries as the 3rd Reich began
to spread across Europe.
Woody gathers the toys to try and form a plan - they refuse to be abandoned and give up
- Buzz Lightyear steps forward and suggest they hide in an attic - for Hoffman, this
drew parallels to many Jewish people who tried to hide from the Nazis in attics - most famously
Anne Frank and her family.
Perhaps the darkest comparison is that them being taken to Sunnyside Daycare is akin to
a concentration camp - where they found themselves trapped among others in the same situation
as them.
I wont go into any more details there - its a disturbing comparison - perhaps even an
unnecessary one - but its one that exists online and so Ive laid it out for you today
…
Well, sorry to end on such a dark note but at least its over now.
Which theory did you think was the most credible?
Which theory did you think was the most creepy?
What other topics shall I try and look for scary theories on?
The choice, as always, is yours - thanks for watching guys - my name is Danny Burke and
Ill see you all in the next video!
