This movie still holds up after all these years...

I love this establishing shot of the city... but its hard to explain exactly why. It evokes a certain comfy quality; but with an ominous undertone... I guess? But not sinister or anything. Like, rousing. I feel their awe.

Yeah, I agree. It's really cynical. Made by a lib I bet

It was a homo? No wonder

A gay liberal who killed himself after his husband died.
And you know, I think he's a smart and good guy, but this series is a total anxiety attack and paints an easy picture of a guy who, oh, I don't know, had attachment issues due to having been abused as a child and then growing up not to have children of his own?

The full scene with music, etc:

Jesus thats sad. I was gonna argue that was long after he wrote it but he also attempted suicide at 18 by gas oven.

Makes that flower scene all the more powerful

It's designed to indicate they are leaving the city forever. They are looking in on a warmth they no longer have, you'll find it has the same energy as so many cartoons of the orphans looking into the window on christmas. Again, the thrust of this movie is separation and abandonment anxiety

Was one of my favorite movies as a kid and still love it.

Its unsettling. Like Im supposed to be emotionally attached to a toaster? At least in Toy Story it makes sense. And then only some objects are alive while others stay inanimate. Opening minutes of the show have the Air Conditioner kill himself in a rage.

Fascinating breakdown. Though, they're entering the city here?

The movie has a way of projecting the world itself in a very enchanted dreamlike manner. Even mundane places like the apartment building and the repair shop carry their own ethereal qualities.

Its less directly attached to the toaster, and it reminding you of happier times in your life.

I even think Toy Story gets too anxious as soon as it says toys are immortal things that have to accept abandonment

This movie should not glorify electric blankets to kids. Those things are worthless fire hazards.

But was the ending a relief and invitation to let go of these things? Because I think the owner rushes in and saves these objects after throwing them away being like sending them to hell

This children’s movie about living household appliances is nothing short of a psychological thriller and I fucking love it. Nothing like it since I don’t think.

Kind of like how rooms and places take on strange auras as a kid that only remain in your memory. The stairs to my basement through my three year old perception vs how I view them now are basically different places.

Im watching it now and everyone else can move around but the Tony the vacuum needs to be plugged in?

I mean, the movie accuses life of being a long string of abandonments, that by being a person, everything you use is a loving servant stripped of its purpose as you change your life away from it, but how does it settle that terrible accusation?

They are using batteries

They have a Master that didn't abandon them. The closest thing to RL would be a Christian allegory that God is the only source that will not abandon you so long as you reach out for Him. Hell even the A/C got redeemed with the Master coming back to the cabin to repair him.

No, toaster and lamp are plug ins but they can move without power. They make a big deal out of getting a battery for Kirby implying he cant move forward without it
