When Woody and Buzz are in Sid’s room they quickly believe the toys are evil because how they look. I believe that the audience would get the same aspect as well because the toys look creepy and scary and if you think about they are associated with mean and cruel character. Regardless of their worries, Woody and Buzz figure out that Sid’s toys are prisoners they are scared and want to get out of there. If Woody and Buzz didn’t communicate with Sid’s toys Sid would have tried to kill them. With all that in mind, that explains how there is not one specific hero in the film. The theme that is really important is that all the characters are able of being a hero and that self-confidence and humanity is all you need to overcome problems in life and accomplish any goals.

In every Disney movie the villain is generally portrayed as evil or crazy, and it is taken as a personality type, but Disney movies also tend to sneak in a backstory for the villain geared towards explaining how they had come to be evil. And in the end, the villain is usually convinced that they should be “good” (again). So from this perspective, it may appear more so that the villain is not a personality type but a product of the situations they were in each moment that lead to he or she becoming the villain. Malcolm Gladwell is an award winning author who constructed a theory labeled The Power of Context, a chapter in his book The Tipping Point, to prove that people, such as villains in Disney movies, are products of their situations.
