Bo-Peep...

It is sad to here this. Mabey Woody coulden’t [spoil]save her cause Andy, his mom, and Molly would get suspisises with her and other toys coming back.[/spoil]

[spoil]That would indeed raise some eyebrows.[/spoil]

Imma miss her, regardless.

What really bugs me is that Bo isn’t even shown on the Toy Story 3 website under “Other Characters”. It shows Al, Sid, Prospector, Zurg, and Wheezy - all characters that played somewhat big roles [spoil] but won’t be returning in 3 (well, as far as we know). But seriously, if they’re gonna get rid of Bo, at least give her a small role. Besides, if Pixar really tried, they’d be able to include her at Sunnyside, perhaps some girls having a tea party… maybe Mrs. Nesbit will also be there. xD
[/spoil]
[spoil]Still though, this is sad, I mean [/spoil]when you look back at 1 & 2, the toys that are right there to support Woody & Buzz are Hamm, Mr. P, Rex, Slink, and Bo. [spoil]It won’t be the same without her. I mean, [/spoil] she’s Woody’s love life, [spoil]and perhaps she could be one to convince him to look on the bright side of things when he’s so focused on escaping Sunnyside.[/spoil]

What I think is that [spoil] there are a lot of new characters being introduced and a lot of old characters returning, that they don’t want the viewer to be overwhelmed, so they axed those that would have the least involvement or least importance. I don’t really mind, but it will be diffrent. And maybe Whizzy isn’t there because he was voiced by the late Joe Ranft, and they couldn’t find anyone sutible to do his voice. [/spoil]

[spoil]And maybe Whizzy isn’t there because he was voiced by the late Joe Ranft, and they couldn’t find anyone sutible to do his voice. [/spoil]

Whizzy? Don’t you mean Weezy? Lol, I’m just kidding.

It’s too bad that Bo Peep [spoil]isn’t really in this[/spoil], but she’d be shattered in an instant by the daycare kids. Plus Bo Peep’s [spoil]dissapearance[/spoil] helps show how much things have changed over the years.

Spolier tags just to be careful.

I knew his name, just a major typo! Hahaha, I had grad nite last night, so I was super exhausted the morning I wrote this.

From what I collect, there are different rooms in Sunnyside. Bo might fend well as a decoration in a more mature classroom.

Again, if any characters just dissappear with only a vague explanation, I won’t really be happy. But since they took the effort to actually include them, I don’t think they’ll do that.

[actionman81]

You’d think she’d be in the attic, or in Molly’s room, high up on a shelf or something. -Omar

I almost forgot to post this, but this is the real reason Bo Peep wasn’t put into the movie, per The Art of Toy Story 3. MAJOR spoilers.

One character missing from the group is Bo Peep. “It was a tough decision, but it was very difficult for us to find a place for her in the story we’re telling in Toy Story 3,” explains Unkrich. “Bo Peep was created to get a female voice in the group of toys. In Toy Story, Andy shares his bedroom with Molly, and Bo Peep is a porcelain nursery lamp sitting next to her crib. She was not only a female character but also a love interest for Woody.”

It had also been hard to find a place for Bo Peep in Toy Story 2, which is why she appears only at the beginning and end of the film. The filmmakers felt audiences wouldn’t accept a porcelain lamp going off into the city and having an adventure. They even joked that she might roll herself in bubble wrap and FedEx herself to Al’s apartment.

“It was really stretching believability for Bo Peep to still be a part of this world,” Unkrich continues. “It made no sense for her to be in Andy’s room. It made no sense for Molly to have her, because Molly’s twelve now. But it also felt wrong not to have her in the movie, because she’s one of the core characters. For me, the deal breaker was that * SPOILER* [spoil]I could not see a way to have Bo Peep be in the group of toys Andy hands off to Bonnie. I couldn’t imagine Andy removing her from the box and having anything special to say about her: she’s a lamp.[/spoil] mild spoiler [spoil]We finally decided to make Bo Peep emblematic of how the room had changed and the sacrifices the toys had made along the way,” he concludes. “We have a touching moment where Woody talks about the toys that have moved on. Rex brings up Bo Peep, and Woody has a little catch in his throat as he says that she’s okay, she’s with all the other toys that have gone on to new owners. It’s clearly a loss for him. We explain why she’s not there, but we struggled with it for a long time.”[/spoil]

Okay… I feel a little better, now…

OMG when i quote it doesn’t show the spoiler tags!!! came so close to spoiling it just now. wow.
anyways what i was GONNA say is that i’m glad it makes you feel better, cause that makes me feel better. i love bo peep and i’m so sad she’s not in the new movie that much but it seems like it was kinda unavoidable. so here’s hoping they handle the situation well, which i’m sure they will.

[ellie-jessie-eve]

Yeah, that all makes a lot of sense.

Does the Art of Toy Story 3 mention anything about RC?

[actionman81]

I feel a bit better, but darn it, I still miss her a lot. Sigh -Omar

[lennonluvr9]

Huh. That explains it then. I was wondering what happened to her. I’m a little surprised they took her out completely, but on the other hand, I was wondering how a piece of a porcelain lamp that belonged to Molly would fit in. I guess she doesnt fit in at all. I guess that’s being realistic though too. Cant expect all the toys just to all stay together.

[SadStrangeLittleMan]

Could’ve gone in the [spoil]attic at least.[/spoil]

[Phileas]

As one that has seen the movie in its entirety, I can tell you that it’s actually for the greater good that the non-inclusion of Bo-Peep and others is crucial to the mechanisms of the story - how? I won’t say, that’s revealing the story plot.But, trust me guys & gals, the new characters make up for it. If anything, her missing also eccentuates how much Woody isn’t a “jerk”, which, while we know he isn’t, can appear to be at first glance.

your message is a bit of a spoiler, i was hoping that that was what happened to her & now i know it’s not.

[SadStrangeLittleMan]

Oh, I’m dreadfully sorry. But in fairness the thread was never going to be spoiler free.

… how?

[IncredigirlVirginia]

If you’re speaking of Woody(<3), lots of people think he’s a jerk. They can’t see that he’s just really realistic, and sometimes IS a jerk. If he and Buzz got along from the start, we would be void of 2(maybe 3) amazing movies. He’s not a jerk, but some people just don’t understand character development.
