One Metallica

I wondered what Metallica song might go along with the whole Toy Story 3 plot. And I think One is the answer expect for the whole “Taken my arms taken my legs” And what the song is based on. :open_mouth:

Hmm, i don’t know because one I don’t know a lot of Metalica songs, and two , I would need to watch the entire movie and analyze each charater before deciding a song that could go with them.

You know what movie its based on? Its a horror movie (well duh lol) :laughing:

TS3 a horror movie? I don’t think Pixar would make that kind of pitch. I think they might go with the same family movie with a littl bit of a darker tone.

You have no idea what I’m talking about do you?

You mean the song, One, is based on a horror movie?

I still think TSS has a point, about staying away from darker stuff, but I’d need to listen to the song first.

Also, if you play that Metallic album, it syncs right up with Toy Story.

Does it really? Like how Dark Side of the Moon syncs up with The Wizard of Oz?

No, not really. :wink:

Yeah that’s the answer, well, I don’t think its a horror movie, but it is to me! (I’ve never seen the FULL movie, just the clips they showed from it in the music video)

The song, “One”, is NOT based on a horror movie, but on a 1971 independent anti-war film, Johnny Got His Gun, directed by Dalton Trumbo. The whole premise of the song and the film is that of a young WWI soldier being hit by a mortor shell, and losing his arms, legs, eyesight, hearing and speech-having nothing left but his mind and intellect, but no way to use it or communicate other than by moving his head. He is effectively isolated in a pain-filled universe of his own, hence the title. Horrific, yes, but not a “horror movie” in the classic sense. You can read more about the film here: imdb.com/title/tt0067277/ .

I honestly cannot-and I’m a fairly bright and creative person-see ANY connection there between this song and any Pixar movie which has been made or will be made. Both the song and the movie are meant to be protests of war and the consequences of war, and have nothing to do with the themes of any of Pixar’s films. The only Metallica song that MIGHT have fit into a previous Pixar film would have been “Enter Sandman”, for Monsters, Inc, given that theme of “something under the bed”, but now that the factory has switched to Laugh energy, that will hardly work, now will it? Of course, the thought of a conversation between Fungus and Lars Ulrich IS scary…they could make a horror movie on that alone, The Things That Wouldn’t Stop Talking, given that Lars is quite a motor-mouth himself…and he and Fungus are just about the same height.

Seriously, unless Randall Newman joins Metallica, I don’t see it happening, ever.
