When it comes to favorite female characters in the Toy Story series, you might intuit the cowgirl Jessie Trish, or the nagging Mrs. Mrs. Potato Head, it may be difficult to remember this shepherd Girl Bo Peep baby whose name is not even certain at the first time.
Shepherd Bo Peep
The only thing that impressed us was that every time the toys were about to leave the house for an adventure, she would always whisper to Woody: You must come back safely.
Such a weak character, who has given the impression of a vase since the first episode, was completely reversed in "Toy Story 4". Bo Peep not only became the key to influencing the plot, she even relied on her own strength to step out of the toy's new life look.
In this world-renowned animation series for more than twenty years, Bo Peep, who has little role, let us know very little about her, and even when she summons the sheep around her in "Toy Story 4", even the protagonist Woody is surprised to say that your three sheep have names?
Who would have thought that Bo Peep would be able to jump on the skunk transformation car without hesitation, carry a bunch of free toys without a master, and fly handsomely!
From believing in the arrangement of fate, to a toy that determines your own destiny
The plot of Toy Story 4 is separated at the beginning.
The child will grow up, and the task of the toy will come to an end. Bo Peep, donated by owner Andy's sister Molly, said to Woody, who was about to rescue her from the cardboard box: "It's time for me to leave." Obviously, he has the opportunity to return to his favorite Molly, but chooses to passively accept the arrangement of fate.
But after waiting years in the window of a second-hand antique shop, Bo Peep no longer expects anyone to take her, so she makes a path that the once pampered toy has never wanted to try: to become a free toy that does not belong to anyone.
Bo Peep embraces the unknown, and when she and Woody meet again, they are already very different from the neat and restrained appearance of the past, and she is radiant: The past seven years that did not belong to anyone were very beautiful!
The weak shepherd became the queen of her own kingdom
In the plot, Bo Peep and Woody have just escaped from danger and fallen into the facilities of the amusement park, compared to Bo Peep's hearty laughter and skillful use of tape to repair his appearance, Woody looks at Bo Peep's broken arm whimpering, and it seems a little surprised.
In a rough world, a free life is always exchanged for a bump. As a fragile ceramic toy, Bo Peep is not afraid at all, but more resilient to reality. Repair your clothes when they are broken, repair them when they hurt, nothing makes me want to give up and continue to enjoy life.
Take a closer look at Bo Peep's look in Toy Story 4: She takes off her inoperable skirt and looks in neat pants instead. Blonde hair and purple-blue cloak reminiscent of the powerful Elsa in Frozen.
Indeed, in the real country, Bo Peep has also become her own queen, and the judgment honed by life has given her more leadership temperament and faced big and small challenges with her partners who are also free toys.
The child is not your only one, you are your own master
While Woody and Shepherd are lovers in terms of character setting, in terms of deeper character meaning, the bond between the toy and the child is more like a partnership. Children are the whole world of toys, and toys are afraid that one day they will be abandoned, but in fact, toys understand that one day, this companionship will end.
Some say "Toy Story 4" is a romantic adventure between Woody and Bo Peep, but a lot of times they don't look like a on-screen couple, but a partner who faces heartbreak together.
For free toys, life without a master is lonely. When Woody mentions Molly, Bo Peep is still lonely, like a good memory of spending time with his ex.
But the eyes opened up on the outside are really wonderful, the new life of the free let Bo Peep completely flip his way of looking at life, she used the empathy of people to tell Woody who could not find the meaning of survival: I know you can't forget Andy, but there are many children outside, the outside world is beautiful and wonderful
The most important thing about Bo Peep's abandonment of conventions into toys is the owner's values and sense of mission, and the sense of security that comes with an intimate relationship may not always be suitable for me. Her sudden guidance to Woody also has the courage to take the step of deciding her own future, as if to hint at us: there is no bad in being single, there is no one-on-one pampering, but I have the whole world, and I am my own master.
"Toy story" has gone through more than two decades, and has gone from an educational work that wants children to cherish toys to an animated film that makes adults think deeply and cry.
Love and being loved by the happiness, impermanence touch the softest piece of the heart, after watching "Toy story" always makes people want to go home and hug the beloved toy that has accompanied them for many years, this time Bo Peep reminds us more: cherish what we love, please don't forget to listen to the voice of the heart, hug yourself.
