I had a philosophical wonder myself about the Toy Story Universe. Since a toy is not even remotely "alive", and has no identifiable structures where their intelligence might lie, and since we have seen toys that are badly damaged yet aware and able to interact with the world around them I have to wonder can one really kill a toy? Would destroying it's physical being simply scatter its consciousness? Would the consciousness simply move to a different plane of reality?
If, in Toy Story 3, being given to a new child is a metaphor for heaven, does that mean that the child is the god of the Toys in question? If so, what happens when this child god completely forgets about them?
