She’s staring off into the distance with a determined look on her face as if planning all of the great things that she is going to do in the future. She is also a hero in the story, as the rescue of Forky would not have been possible without her and her team.Īll promotional material for the film featuring Bo Peep shows her in a power stance, cane held as if it could be used as a weapon. Over the course of the movie, she demonstrates to Woody that there is more of a purpose in life than being owned by a kid. While he sees this as a negative thing, she assures him that it is positive. He quickly learns that Bo Peep isn’t the property of a child anymore instead, she’s living out in the wilderness with her sheep and a few other toys, not owned by anyone. Woody first encounters Bo Peep in a kids’ park in the midst of his efforts to rescue a new toy (“Forky”) from an antique shop before his kid realizes Forky is missing. In fact, her character is almost completely changed. However, “Toy Story 4” provides a new version of Bo Peep that one could argue is a much better role model for young girls watching the movies today. Standing there in her long, bulky dress with her blonde hair and pretty face, she wasn’t supposed to do much other than come on screen to flirt with Woody and thank him for saving her every once in a while. Mine, on the other hand, was Bo Peep, for no particular reason other than that I liked her pink dress.īut it is important to note that Bo Peep remained a largely marginalized character in the first three movies. His favorite character was Buzz Lightyear.
I remember watching “Toy Story” with my brother when we were kids.
Suffice to say, if it took more years to make the “Toy Story” series than I’ve been alive, it had better be good. Twenty-four years after the first “Toy Story” was released in 1995, Pixar finally completed its four-part series.
