How wrong could l be….
Of course, Toy Story 4 is first and foremost just a great film. I loved it! But its messages deliver on every level…
The importance of creativity in the curriculum as Bonnie’s traumatic first day at Kindergarten is transformed by the spontaneous joy of making her friend Forky…
Forky’s terrible initial insecurity and lack of self-worth and esteem. He literally thinks he’s trash and wants to run away from the world….
The way Woody, as his mentor, coach and teacher gradually builds those qualities in him…
Woody’s own insecurities since ceasing to be Andy’s Toy and his search for a sense of meaning and purpose, rediscovered in service and support to another…
Duke Caboom – incidentally my favourite character due to his modelling on one of my own Childhood icons in Evel Knievel – traumatised by fear of rejection and failure as a disappointment to his first kid, rising to the challenge of coming to the rescue and literally making a leap of faith…

There’s nothing special about the energy we sell. In fact, it’s exactly the same energy as all our competitors provide. But there is something special about the way we do it. Where others complicate the process, we simplify it. Where others confuse customers with hidden terms, we’re an open book. And where others do all they can to make as much money from their customers as possible, we do all we can to make as little. Everything we do, we do it differently. Our customers are a privilege. One we’ll never take advantage of.
