![]() They can't form relationships with the kids that play with them, and it really is only all torment. While the attic promised everlasting togetherness with no play or struggle or anything that makes life interesting, the daycare offers ONLY play and struggle and pain and everything that makes life interesting but with nothing that makes it all worthwhile. But here we see the polar opposite of the attic. Like the attic, daycare is a perpetual state: nothing stopping them from being daycare toys forever. For this guess, however, I think it's Hell and I'll explain why.) The alternative is the daycare, which at first seems like a blessing but turns out to be anything but. I can see a case for that interpretation. Sunnyside Daycare = Hell: (note: another troper may come here and disagree, and say that it actually represents Purgatory-that's fine. However, certain circumstances mean that it's not where they end up, as next they come face to face with. While the attic isn't a thrilling prospect, the toys assume that it is their best option. This means that ennui is bound to set in, which is a common criticism for how many interpret Heaven to be. Remember from the second movie that the toys can potentially live forever if they are not destroyed? As far as these toys are concerned, they will be in this attic forever just existing without purpose. While they would be together, they would not be played with by children, which is a toy's main reason for being and this state is a perpetual one. But the toys are noticeably less than totally thrilled about going to the attic. ![]() When we remember that a very common decoration for Christmas is a nativity set, which includes figurines of religious icons, it seems the toys will be with saints in their attic. Woody mentions that they'll get to hang out full time with "the guys from the Christmas decorations box." to which the other toys are noticeably "meh" on. The toys even expect to be in the company of religious figures in the attic. That is reminiscent of meeting your loved ones in Heaven and being with them always. In this state, they will be together, and able to enjoy each other's company, and engage in fun diversions, like games, books and television. The attic is a place above Andy's room, that is, like Heaven, above where they lived. The Attic = Heaven, or rather Fluffy Cloud Heaven or Straw Man Heaven: In this scenario, it is discussed that once the toys' lives effectively end, (no longer played with by Andy because he's at college,) the toys expect to all go into the attic together. The movie presents several possibilities, and they are: The movie begins with he and the other toys facing the end of this relationship, which is their lives, and what will happen after. Toy Story 3 is thematically an exploration of death and various possibilities for the after life, including Heaven, Hell, Annihilation, (that is, no after life) and Reincarnation.Īs stated above, it is this troper's opinion that the trilogy is about the life and death of Woody, and his life is specifically defined as his relationship with Andy. As for Woody, he didn't play with other people from his show in a very long time, so it is likely that he forgot all about it. The other toys that are based after TV Shows or movies might have realized they were toys a long time ago.
