Comic Breakdown
“I saw “Toy Story”.
So stop with the silent treatment.
I know you can talk.” – Trixie speaking to her toys
TOY STORY
Toy Story is a popular Disney film from 1995. It is about the secret world of toys who are
actually alive but stay silent and lifeless (inanimate) when humans are
around. Movie sequels were released in
1999 and 2010. The movie franchise has
also produced many other popular spin-offs.
Each film featured a plot that involved the toys on an adventure; often
they had to find their way home after becoming lost. The two main characters are Woody, a cowboy,
and Buzz Lightyear, a space ranger.
Young and impressionable children like Trixie may really
believe that their toys are alive after watching this film.

THE SILENT
TREATMENT
The silent
treatment is when one person or group ignores another by literally being
silent. It is used to cause emotional
discomfort, annoyance, guilt, and even pain.
The person giving the silent treatment will not talk to you or outright ignore you in the most serious cases. Usually, the silent treatment occurs when someone has offended or insulted
another.
The term “silent
treatment” as an expression is also used a lot casually when someone may
not be upset with you but are being unusually quiet. For example, if someone feels sick and are
being quiet they might be asked why they are giving others the silent treatment? Therefore when anyone is quieter than usual
the term silent treatment may be
applied casually to the situation.
In
conclusion, Trixie has seen a movie about talking toys that are alive and
now believes that her toys are alive too.
She wants her toys to start talking to her and to stop giving her the
silent treatment.
