tell me how they are gonna do it without woody? if she really wanted to be with woody, she could have made up a small loss, looked to the real side of things, and go with him and the rest of the characters back to bonnies house. by doing this they managed to make a terrible ending to a good movie, but also make it so that it would be virtually impossible for pixar to make a new toy story. woody has left the entire rest of the gang just to be with her, but she obviously no longer has any interest in him whatsoever. Unless I wanted no friends, a bad temper, zero social skills and a criminal record. I know this is a cartoon, but c’mon, a FIRE? If she wasn’t a Mary-Sue, toys would’ve died, people would’ve died. She doesn’t like it there, so she tried to set the alarms on fire.Īnd all she’s worried about is her sheep. She runs away, only to run into the Antique Store. Too someone who may not pay attention to her, but does not treat her like garbage. They weren’t Sid.īut then they accidentally set off a fire, so she gets sold off. She was giving to two kids, who fought over her, but not violently, they knew they had to be gentle. People say Bo is like this because she’s been through some tough stuff, but I watched Lamp Life, a show about her, but it was utter bull crap. If Bo was truly kind, she would have accepted to help Woody immediately. Does everything have to look perfect to appeal to young girls? I’m a little girl, but my favorite character is Rex, who is not perfect, is self loathing, and a neurotic. She has these ninja moves and stuff, and they’re not necessary. She’s a Mary-Sue, all she does is act ~perfect~ in everything she does. She’s cold-hearted, when her arm fell off, Woody screamed in shock, only for Bo to laugh in his face, were our poor sheriff is shaking like a leaf. She left him, twice, but he loves her, so he stays with her. She treats Woody like garbage for no apparent reason. Do you think Bo Peep is a good role model for girls (and boys?) You’re missing more by restricting yourself. It’s scary, sure, but there are so many reasons to head out and explore. She offered this message that it’s okay to step out of the nest. There was excitement, and she shared all about the fun of the adventure. While Woody and the gang had been so fearful of being lost toys, Bo found a freedom within it. This is still Bo Peep, voiced by Annie Potts. Ingham perfectly outlines the core traits that bring out the best in this previously underwritten character, without making her feel like a totally different entity. In the lead up to Toy Story 4, I had a hard time wrapping my head around the writing for Bo Peep, a character who had been relegated to the background in previous films, now elevated to a major role in what is essentially a romantic comedy starring her and Woody. Bo proved that you can be smart, adventurous, and caring all at the same time - and these are all positive traits in a young girl. There was still the story of lost love, but she didn’t just follow her heart. She gave orders, figured out solutions, and looked out for herself and others. Throughout the movie, we watched Bo take charge. From Alexandria Ingham, writing for Hidden Remote:
