Khora and her Dad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What is a Parent\u2019s Multiview Review? Well, as I\u2019m sure you are all aware, children love repetition. And according to \u201cThe Books\u201d structure is good for them. One of the ways this manifests itself is the practice of watching the same movie over and over and over and\u2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n


\nWhile my daughter Khora, who is less than two-years old, shows many exceptional abilities and skills (I am biased) she is still very much guilty of this exercise. The same movies need to be viewed daily, sometimes right after each other, ad nausea.<\/strong><\/p>\n


\nSo far, I consider myself lucky. The initial television obsession has been the hipster dance party that is \u201cYo Gabba Gabba\u201d. While some of the songs annoyingly stick directly in your brain and you find yourself singing about not biting your friends (a worthy lesson but it should go without saying) \u201cYo Gabba\u201d is much better than a being on a \u201cBarney\u201d kick.<\/strong>
\n\"A1\"<\/a>
\n
\nOn the film front, Khora has illustrated exceptional taste. I am a lucky father! The entire \u201cToy Story\u201d Trilogy is constantly playing on my television. It could be so very much worse. I dread the day that Khora decides we need to watch the Justin Bieber concert movie 53 times for her to really \u201cget\u201d it. I\u2019m sure that by the time she is ready to devour Horrid-Pop music, Bieber will be a faded nothing and be replaced by a some other sexless teen-throb omitting high frequency noise from his skull. I\u2019m sure that guy\u2019s concert movie will be even better\u2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n


\nBut \u201cToy Story\u201d stays enjoyable on Do-Over Mode. Of course there is a lot going on here. The first film being the very first Computer Generated Cartoon Film Ever. The Modern day \u201cSnow White\u201d. Made in 1995, the technology does look a little dated but the Masters at PIXAR have done a great job making all three films look like they are in the same world. What makes these stories work is the chemistry between the actors as Tom Hanks and Tim Allen share a banter that is timeless.<\/strong><\/p>\n


\nI\u2019m a Woody man myself but Khora lights up every time she sees Mr. Buzz Lightyear. I\u2019ve tried to argue this with her but she still responds in a curious form of Babble that I\u2019m pretty sure only she fully understands. I get pieces and bits, but a full conversation about the pros and cons of \u201cToy Story\u201d characters is currently not possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n


\nOf the three films, my favorite is still part 3. It looks the best, has the best villain in Lotso (I can\u2019t believe that S.O.B. leaves them in the trash incinerator like that!!!) and has the most emotional weight of any animated film I\u2019ve ever seen. Even after watching it time after time, I still cry like a baby when Andy presents Bonnie with all of his toys. I usually just leave the room.<\/strong><\/p>\n


\nOne thing that bothers me: Where does Andy\u2019s mom think Jessie and Bullseye came from? At the end of 2, Andy\u2019s been away at camp and comes back to find Woody and Buzz waiting on his bed with these new friends. He says \u201cNew toys! Thanks Mom!\u201d but his mother had nothing to do with it, they we brought there by Woody after their harrowing adventure at the airport. The film ends there but don\u2019t you think that Andy\u2019s mom would eventually wonder where the Girl Cowboy doll and Horse came from? Andy would say that he thought she gave them to him but that would be considered a lie. It would then be assumed that Andy stole them from one of his friends and there would be phone calls and a crying Andy screaming \u201cWhy don\u2019t you ever believe me!!!\u201d<\/strong>
\n\"a3\"<\/a>
\n
\n\u201cBecause toys don\u2019t just appear in your bedroom Andy!\u201d Andy\u2019s mom would bellow back. So much drama. Yet this is never explained. After 21 viewing of each of the three films, that is the one flaw I\u2019ve found. Not a bad ratio.<\/strong><\/p>\n


\nContinue on with the good taste Miss Khora. Lately she\u2019s been gravitating toward \u201cBrave\u201d\u2026 If that happens I\u2019m going to be running around talking in a terrible Scottish accent for weeks. I hope and pray that she soon finds \u201cPee Wee\u2019s Big Adventure\u201d waiting for her on the DVD shelf. Then I\u2019ll just be constantly doing a bad impression of that annoying laugh and that I can handle. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
