Trevor Noah’s Born a Crime is a memoir about growing up in Apartheid South Africa and his youth after Apartheid ended. Noah discusses his close relationship with his Xhosa mother and how his existence was essentially illegal. His mother being Xhosa/Black and his father being White/Swiss was a crime that was highly punishable. He grew up having to pretend his mother wasn't his mother and that his father wasn't his father, learning to be alone often.
Ashley C. Ford writes a stunningly beautiful memoir about her childhood experiences, and, most importantly, her relationship with her parents. For as long as she can remember, her dad has always been in prison for a crime that she wasn’t allowed to know of, and her emotionally distant mother formed new relationships with other men. Ashley recounts her experiences with her absent father and her strained relationship with her mother, who is trying to recover from heartbreak and the stress of being the sole provider for Ashley.
Toy Story 4 is an amazing movie to end the hit franchise of Toy Story because Woody, Buzz, and every other toy move to another owner, Bonnie, who loves playing with them. Bonnie creates a new toy at school and calls him Forky. Her family goes on a road trip and Forky gets lost. Woody made it his mission to keep Forky safe, so he tried to save Forky but ended up getting lost as well. Throughout Woody’s adventure he searches for his true calling and finds it as the franchise ends and as he waves farewell.
There is no doubt that Toy Story 3 deserved to be the #1 animated film of the year 2010 and it did. This was my favorite Toy Story movie out of the whole 1-4 series. I loved every part about this movie because it had everything you could possibly want in an animated movie. The movie begins with Andy growing up and going to college. His toys get donated and now they must find a way to escape their new home, Sunnyside Daycare.
Toy Story 2 is an amazing movie that should be watched because in this excellent new sequel to the original Toy Story it entails more characters and a better storyline. Woody is kidnapped* by the chicken man from Al’s Toy Barn and is going to be sold to a museum with a few new characters. Buzz and a group of brave toys march along the road to save Woody but end up getting into problems of their own.
Toy Story is one of my favorite Disney + Pixar movies because it was made before I was born and because I used to watch this non-stop when I was a baby. In this magical world toys are alive and can talk. The main characters are Woody and Buzz Lightyear. Woody is a cowboy who gets played with a lot by his owner, Andy, but when a new space toy comes out this makes Woody jealous that he is not getting played with anymore. Woody does something terrible to Buzz and then the journey begins from the beginning of the movie to the end.
