#29 A Gathering to Talk About Toy Story as Much as We Want
In this episode, voice actress Shiori Yoshimura talks passionately about the beloved Disney/Pixar series, expressing that she "grew up with Toy Story."
I grew up at almost the same age as Andy.
For Yoshimura, Toy Story is a special presence she has watched repeatedly since before she could remember. She reflects on a cinematic experience that perfectly synchronized with Andy, the owner in the films, having grown up alongside the second movie and being an elementary school student when the third was released.
The secret lives of toys are exciting.
When humans aren't watching, toys move on their own and converse. We revisit the unique worldview characteristic of Pixar and the human-like (or toy-like?) drama that unfolds between Woody, the cowboy, and Buzz Lightyear, the latest toy.
It is a story that faces the reality of children growing into adults.
As the series progresses, it depicts the bittersweet reality everyone experiences: the owner growing up and leaving their toys behind. Yoshimura shares her passionate opinions on one particular work that could be considered the culmination of the series, infused with such profound themes. Please enjoy the rest of the conversation in the full episode.
