9. Toy Story 3 (The Holocaust)
The Toy Story movies are the last films you’d ever expect to be anything other than innocent kiddy flicks, but Toy Story 3 is said to have a very dark underlying meaning – it is a metaphor for one of the worst events in human history, the Holocaust.
Andy heads to college and leaves his toys behind – just like the host nations left behind the Jews as the Third Reich conquered Europe. The toys then have a meeting in which they discuss possible outcomes for their new position in the world. It’s extremely reminiscent of the scene at the train station in Roman Polanski’s Holocaust drama The Pianist. In the same meeting, Buzz Lightyear suggests the toys take sanctuary… in an attic. Ringing any bells?
