The laws of the
Toy Story
universe (and the rest of the Pixar universe?) have long been nebulous and undefined. They're vague, too. During what part of the toy production process are the Woodies and Buzz Lightyears of the world imbued with the spark of life? When does a toy in
Toy Story
go from a lifeless plastic mold to a miracle of creation and consciousness? No one truly, canonically knows, and with Disney's release of the first teaser for
Toy Story 4
this morning, we aren't any closer to figuring it out.
