    Quoted from Sinistarrett:

    Yeah I have to admit that I personally cant really understand the allure of a pinball machine themed after an animated movie for little kids.

    what a weird opinion. Toy Story is not really a movie for little kids.

    If they were making a movie based on Cars, then you'd have a point. but Toy Story is no more for kids than it is for adults. Have you seen it? Superficially, the toys in the film are almost all toys from the 70s and 80s (with the exception of Buzz, who is generic to any time period, and Woody, who's from the 1950s). They're designed to hit the nostalgia buttons of adults, not kids. And it was clearly written to resonate with adults and parents. The themes of the Toy Story movies are basically fear of change, jealousy, and the nature of existence ... hell the entire third film is a 2-hour rumination on the inevitability of death.

    maybe i'm overstating it a bit. there's certainly silliness in there too. but don't let the bright shiny textures fool you. those movies pack an emotional wallop.
