19. Lotso Almost Gets Woody Incinerated Toy Story 3
Sometime toward the end of Toy Story 3, Woody learns the true nature of Sunnyside Daycare its a perpetual hell for toys ran as a dictatorship by a plush bear named Lotso. All of Andys toys are under the cosh at the present time, with the exception of Buzz, who has been hilariously brainwashed. So Woody does what any noble protagonist would do he helps the toys to escape. Now, I know Lotsos a bit of a control freak, but his response to this must surely be considered a bit of an overreaction. After torturing (seriously, theres offscreen torture in this family film) the phone toy, he ambushes Woodys group by the bins and proceeds to throw them all in so they end up in the landfill, and eventually the childhood-ruining furnace. Now, I know it goes wrong for Lotso as well, but he still managed to fulfil his end of the plan in a roundabout fashion, and the toys very nearly end up melted if it wasnt for the aliens and their claw. Now, the only thing Woodys gang did was attempt to escape a punishment which usually earns a toy a stint in the box. Thats bad enough in itself, but Lotsos decision to throw a whole bevy of toys into their equivalent of hell for a complex escape attempt is so ridiculously evil and over-the-top, especially after youve seen that punishments for similar escapes just involved time in the box. Why condemn them to a flame-filled existence when you desperately need toys for the young kids room? After all, you cant be a dictator if you keep banished your subjects.
