Whilst this is apparent, I would argue that the history and development of the studio is represented by the Toy Story franchise as a whole. In this case, Toy Story’s narrative implies that Disney’s traditional 2D animation, represented by Woody the out-dated pull-string cowboy doll, has been rendered irrelevant by Pixar’s pioneering digital animation, represented by Buzz the new and more advanced space ranger toy. When Toy Story was released in 1995, analyses of the film suggested it was an allegory for the apparent popularisation of computer-generated animation and the subsequent displacement of hand-drawn methods. This paper will discuss the narrative structure of the Toy Story franchise as an allegory for the development and success of Pixar Animation Studios, and the subsequent acquisition of the studio by the Walt Disney Company in 2006. " Toy Story has tracked the history of Pixar, of us as filmmakers and our families too"
