I'm honestly surprised it hasn't happened more than once

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

I should have done that. My ex wrote her name on the bottom of my boot and that just never occurred to me.

I should really watch Toy Story. I think it’s time.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 72 points 1 year ago

It's only been out 29 years, might wanna wait until all the reviews are out

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Be sure to follow it up with 2. It's one of the few instances where a sequel is actually superior to the original.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But whatever do, don't watch any further than 2. You'll just be disappointed. Especially with the 4th film.

They didn't at first, needed time for it to marinate

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I hated it so much that I stopped watching about an hour in. It's just too depressing.

[–] jqubed@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I wasn’t as big a fan of the first one but thought the second (where this scene is from) was excellent. I can’t remember if I’ve seen the more recent ones.

In Toy Story the child, Andy, wrote his name on the bottom of the toy’s shoe signifying that was his toy. The toy, Woody, took that as a point of pride, but in the second movie he ::: gets taken from a garage sale by a toy collector and goes to a restoration specialist who among other things paints over the child’s name. ::: Woody accepts this name removal as final proof that he is no longer loved by Andy and no longer belongs to him and is ready to move on to the next phase of his existence. Since the microblogger is also named Andy, her ex used this image to show the finality of their breakup, and it’s probably somewhat devastating depending on the age of the people involved when Toy Story 2 came out.

I think he's pulling our legs, pretending like there's someone who hasn't seen Toy Story.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Toy story 2 is 25 yrs old.

Go fuck yourself The '90s will forever be 10 years ago.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Uh, the '80s are 10 years ago? And things remain great here in the 90s! If we somehow manage to weather this Y2K crisis, I have a feeling it can only get better from here!

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago

You take that back

I have not, but i know enough context from memes.

Apparently there's a superstition stating you can write the name of the person you fell in love with on your shoe, and if it doesn't wear off it's reciprocated.

This sign might be like "okay, so the writing should go off since you don't love me, Andy, and I'll do it myself since the fate didn't already".

Kinda like "the love is dead", and burning bridges.

TIL, and you might have too.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Or the more brutal angle: removing the name because he no longer cares if the love is reciprocated.

This reminds me of my ex gf 😅 not only does she enjoy "kid" shows and movies, but HER NAME IS ANDY TOO. That image would definitely dealt some damage. For us though we broke off on good terms. Right person, wrong time, wrong place :(
