When I was thinking what movie choice for this job, I told myself: "A trip back home ...., a trip back home ...". And I wondered, "Who wants to come home?" Looking through a newspaper by chance, I saw a television ad in which pay out an image of the stars of Toy Story. And I said, "There! The toys want to go home. "
Next dismissed the second, because I thought it was a trip back rather than search. But the third movie ... was perfect!
At first it seemed a strange idea. But certainly, these animated toys live an odyssey to return to Ithaca, the home of his master Andy. With this first parallel fact, I decided to see the movie a second time.
So I realized that there really was not one, but several similar, few, but some.
The first and fundamental similarity, as well as back home, I found among the protagonists of both stories.
Woody, the toy was inspired by a western cowboy is brave and has initiative, is resourceful, and so can take their friends along. Likewise, Ulises unable to resolve many problems thanks to his cunning and courage.
Woody is the one leading the other toys back home. Ulysses fails to take back all his companions, as died on the way, but he really is able to return.
In fact, Woody told more than once his companions the phrase "return home." After that, Woody loses his teammates, but later recovered. addition, toys should hurry to return. Andy has grown up. No longer plays with them, but also remind him of his childhood and does not want to get rid of them. So when Andy makes clean to go to college, toys end up in a donation box for a daycare (they are deflected from their path, like Odysseus's ship when he leaves Troy).
Since Andy is going to college, they must hurry. Ulysses must hurry to return, because his wife has suitors and will marry another. Although he is not dead, it is disappeared, but Penelope will wait patiently.
In the daycare have gone to toys, there's a baby-toy recalls Polyphemus is very large (much more than other dolls) and has a bad eye, which gives shabby appearance and rough.
On the other hand, there is a scene (when the toys come to a landfill) which may be related more or less with the descent into hell. I established the following parallel: Hell is the place where souls go after death and the landfill is where it goes broken toys (break is synonymous with death for toys). There are about to die, but just barely manage to escape.
But not all end here. Even more parallels can be drawn. When the toys are in the nursery, Buzz, the toy space is reset, so that forgets its purpose. Has lost sight of who wants to return. This reminded me of when the companions of Ulysses are on the island of the lotus eaters.
addition, there is a story within the story. When you tell the story of lots, the antagonist, who had to make a long journey back to his house, is used expression "was a real ordeal."
They get back home: return to Ithaca. Has been reunited with his Penelope. But these toys have not yet reached its final destination. Andy has grown, it has grown up and will no longer play with his friends from childhood inanimate.
So although it hurts a lot, Andy gives the dolls a girl, a girl who will care for and play with them. The players have reached a new Ithaca.
