Er. I'd hardly say the kids were painted as bad guys, just rough on the toys. Which is true.

Also, first movie? Sid? It's established pretty much immediately that it's important to be loved AND TAKEN CARE OF by kids. Not just played with however the kid wants.

The third movie was consistent.

[sarillia]

My thoughts immediately went to Sid too. He was just being an inventive kid too. Not his fault he didn't realize the toys were sentient.

It was kind of douchey to torment his sister by doing freaky things to her dolls though. Still, he's not exactly evil. At least he got a good job when he grew up (being a garbage man isn't exactly glamorous, but the pay and benefits are at least decent)

[sarillia]

Yeah that's true. He should have stuck to playing with his own toys if he was going to be tearing them apart like that.

[iggy]

Yeah that's what got me. That's super mean, sentient toys or not.

But no, he was certainly not evil.

[insanenoodlyguy]

They weren't bad guys. They were the wrong age. There's a reason there's ages on the boxes: These were toys not designed to be played with by this age group. They weren't bad guys any more then the tornado or the flood in a disaster movie. They were a force that could not be withstood and needed to be escaped. The actual villain of the movie is pretty obvious.

[brandiweed.livejournal.com]

Heck, wrong age was even touched upon in the original film with Mr. Potato Head.

"Ages three and up! It's on my box! Ages three and up! I'm not supposed to be babysitting Princess Drool!"

How did you miss the part where the kids weren't actually the bad guys, Lotso and his habit of sending the "new" toys to inappropriate age groups were?

Yeah, kids are gross, but that doesn't make them the "bad guys".

[morieris]

Even the movie points out how the toys weren't age appropriate for those younger kids.

[(Anonymous)]

That wasn't really the point, OP...the kids were hardly villains. They were just little kids and they can be pretty rough with things because they're...well, little kids. It's pretty understandable why a sentient toy would be afraid of them though.

[(Anonymous)]

I work with toddlers and those scenes just drove me nuts because that would never have even happened if the kids were being properly attended. It just reminds me of working in a real daycare when I was in high school and it makes me ill.

[(Anonymous)]

I also work in that age range, and that was pretty much my reaction as well - all I could think during that scene was "Where the hell is their teacher??" It felt like those kids had just been put in that room and left to run wild...

I know pretty much every toy that I have out on the shelves for the children to use during free play, and I would notice pretty fast if my kids were playing with something I hadn't put out for them (especially with how they were using them! One kid was shoving potato head arms up his nose, good lord).

[(Anonymous)]

But that wouldn't have worked well with Toy Story lore.

[recessional]

HAH, this. I was all full of WHO IS RUNNING THIS PLACE?

[(Anonymous)]

Same! I worked with one- and two-year-olds, and sure their toys got a little more roughed up just because they were constantly played with every single day by people who didn't quite understand 'gentle' yet, but I don't remember a single instance of a kid just going ahead and demolishing a toy for no reason. Plus like you said, what kind of teacher would think that was okay?

[(Anonymous)]

I've worked with toddlers since 1998, and I have had some classrooms (like the one I am currently in now) that I joke are/were "caterpillar rooms" instead of "butterfly rooms". Some kids are just really destructive, and you can't always do something about it. (One kid smashed a matchbox car on the floor so hard the wheels broke off. Another kid put his hands on the lower shelf of a bookshelf where they couldn't easily be seen and started ripping things to shreds. These are three-year-olds.) I mean, yes, the extent and time-frame of the damage was extreme, but I just like to think that it took a bunch of incidents and condensed them for maximum impact. :P

Text: After the message of the first two movies (it’s better to be loved and played with by kids, no matter for how long) the third movie betrayed everything. I don’t even like kids much, but to make them the bad guys just because they’re excitable, inventive and boisterous (you know, like a lot of kids actually are in real life) left me disgusted at Toy Story 3.
