In the Disney film Toy Story, Woodie, Andy's toy cowboy, is an example of a universal hero who follows the twelve stages of the Hero's Journey. The journey begins with the introduction of the ordinary world, the life of the toys in Andy's room. Everything is peaceful and all the toys get along well. Then, Woodie gets "a call to adventure" with the addition of Buzz to Andy's toys. At first, Woodie "refuses the call" by rejecting the idea that Buzz would replace him and become Andy's favorite toy. However, we can see through the transition of Andy's room becoming more "spacey", replacing the cowboy theme with an astrospace ranger theme, that Buzz is becoming Andy's favorite. This transition means “crossing the first threshold”. With Woodie's attempt to get rid of Buzz, they both go on a trip after being kicked out of the car. Woodie encounters tests, allies and enemies (mainly Sid and his dog), along with Buzz as they try to get back to Andy. However, with Buzz still believing he was a space ranger and not a toy, the journey becomes fraught with dangers for Woodie. At the pizzeria, Woodie and Buzz are approaching the second threshold when they are caught by the crane of an arcade game. The winner was Sid, a horrible child with a passion for toy torture. At Sid's house, Woodie and Buzz face their ultimate test: escaping Sid and his dog. Say no to plagiarism. Get a tailor-made essay on “Why Violent Video Games Should Not Be Banned”?
