Toy Story 3

            Our group members consist of Kayla Sasser, Caleb Cooper, and Allie Bailey. We are all freshmen attending University Academy of Cenla. Each one of us are between the ages 14-15. However, we all have our own personalities and slight differences. One of Kayla’s interests includes playing the guitar, Caleb likes to watch TV, play on his tablet, and go to his grandmother’s house, and Allie enjoys riding horses and photography. Despite their differences, Caleb, Allie, and Kayla all have one similar interest. This interest is watching the movie Toy Story 3.

            Toy Story 3 is about how the toys are mistakenly delivered to a day-care center instead of the attic right before Andy leaves for college, and it's up to Woody to convince the other toys that they weren't abandoned and to return home.

            The protagonists of the story include Woody the Cowboy, Buzz Light-year, and Jessie the Cowgirl. Woody had a markedly more distasteful personality; having the character of one whom had let his role as "leader" go to his head and had little compassion towards his peers. One notable example of this from the original script is that Woody actually throws Buzz out the window on purpose, and doesn't care one bit over what had happened or what the other toys thought of the incident, even saying in a casual tone that it was a "toy-eat-toy world" when accused of doing so. He also proceeded to heavily insult the toys, especially Slinky, during this time, which resulted in all of them turning on him. This poor choice in characterization for Woody had been forced upon Pixar by then-Disney Chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg due to the latter wanting more of an adult, cynical, edginess to the story, resulting in Woody becoming jealous, sarcastic, belligerent, and mean toward Buzz and the other toys.

Buzz is a universal space ranger from the Intergalactic Alliance and is stationed in the Gamma Quadrant of Sector 4. He is the captain of the Alliance's team. Light-year is known for his bravery and courage. Buzz believes that following rules are the way people should live their life. There are rare moments when Buzz will bend the rules or tell a cover story if he needs to when he knows it is the right thing to do. Though a great leader, at times he can be rather unemotional, one of his biggest character flaws.  

            Jessie is an excitable and beautiful cowgirl doll. She likes being loved by any other child and has the power to yodel. She hates being in storage -- as it makes her claustrophobic -- and not having someone to love her.
