Simple: Andy see the blocks as blocks and thus not alive, but Bonnie sees Forky as a toy and he is one.
Hey! I didn't expect to see you here! How is the Masterdex going?
What about Etchasketch and Mr. Spell?
Also blocks can be considered toys, but I assume you mean the owner seeing them as "living" toys. :P
Perhaps the etch and the like, as they can’t talk, they are Less thought of as alive by Andy, they are less alive.
Lolin Taylor The implications in The theories make it seem like it’s the toys the owners consider characters. Like Woody is a cowboy or Forky is a... living spork. The etch and Mr. Spell are less like that and more like tool toys. :P
To be honest, the idea that forky is a spork is just not true. That's like saying buzz is just a hunk of plastic. Forky might have been made out of a spork but he was made to be a toy
*This is basically video about Seamus having a breakdown on how toys are alive*
🤣🤣
*And how he might be one*
The Vegan 😂
Him having a breakdown, is like, every single video he makes XD
i have a hole to one part of the theory, he says that buzz is based off of a real tv character/ superhero or whatever he is in real life and thats why he thinks he is the real one. on the other hand woody is a toy made off of the woody’s roundup tv show but he somehow knows he is a toy.the only solution is maybe through time he learn that he was a toy like buzz did
0:11 I feel so unbelievably attacked lmao
Hahahaha hey it's The Theorizer! I've seen a lotta your videos. They're a whole other world. I like em though.
Ah! My son has responded to my new son!
Oh my goodness! It's the one and only Theorizer!

Love the videos
woody can feel a burn, it didn't seem to hurt him when he lost his ARM
I think Woody's reaction to the burn might have been more in response to the idea of being damaged, like a sort of phantom pain that was primarily fear driven. It's like when a little kid falls down, but they won't start crying and acting like they're hurt unless an adult freaks out about it or gasps and scares them.
good point but still
Maybe it's because being burned is something that's typically irreversible, whereas you can always sew an arm back on
Abbie TheGoodNoodle ^
@@alexschofield8085 I'd say so, they all seemed to *know* that the TS3 fire was the end for them, so maybe they can only die/be hurt by getting burnt. There's a zebra in TS4 that's been ripped completely in half, and is still perfectly fine, he even makes a joke about it.
More Memory Theory Evidence:
Ham is a piggy bank making him an object. Since Andy sees him as a toy instead of a decoration or just a piggy bank, he is alive.
Bo-Peep is a decoration as well, she comes to life because Andy, Molly, and other children in the short Lamp Life view her as a toy.
The reason Wheezy is sick is because he is being forgotten.

I like your shirt Seamus
Edit: I wrote this comment like 10 seconds into the video which was before you took the clouds one off so I'm pretty much editing this comment to say I like both of your shirts.
I would like to add just a bit to your theory in that, yes, toys are memorable but I think in Woodys' & Bo Peep's case, they have a purpose while most toys just have a potential purpose. Bo Peep shows Woody more in Toy Story 4 beyond what Woodys' limited scope of the world is up to that point. His potential purpose grew into a full purpose. Combine that with the memories of Woody people carry and that makes toys capable of much more than just being remembered.
Ok. Here’s my theory.
It’s totally on the “toys live through memories” theory too.
The Velveteen Rabbit Theory
I give it this name because of the book by the same name, which in summery tells the story of a little boy who receives a stuffed rabbit toy fur Christmas and adores it more than his other toys. The velveteen rabbit meets a rocking horse, the Skin Horse who is all raggedy and the horse explains he has became “real” he has been loved to bits that no matter how ugly or ruined he becomes he will always be seen as new by the child who loved him and he will always be remembered. Anyway, of course the story ends with the rabbit becoming real, like he becomes a real rabbit.
So here’s the theory Woody has been in Andy’s family for a long time, his mom tells Al she won’t sell it because it’s an old family toy, Andy tells Bonnie he’s had him as long as he can remember, so we know that there is no shortage of memory of Woody, by multiple people. So by Toy Story 4 has been ripped, lost, almost destroyed, and loved through that we know he meets the qualifications to be real. The reason Woody can do all those things Seamus said is because Woody is no longer a toy. He IS really special, in Toy Story 4 he is more like a guide for the other toys, The Skin horse for other toys, but he himself has become truly real.
"Buzz saw himself as more than a toy, whereas Forky sees himself as less than a toy."-David Gannsle, One Movie Later: Toy Story 4
''it's a binary, you're either alive or not''
Schroedinger's cat: allow me to introduce myself
I'm sorry about your Grandfather Seamus. Thank you for uploading.
I'm sorry if that sounded insincere; losing someone is awful.
S.L. The TH-cam Addict what!? How?! What happened to his grandpa and how do you know abou it??!
@@shwetadoorwar5697 Please, get some help.
I just watched Onward yesterday and even THAT had talk about memory!
I also just saw onward a few days ago and can agree
“Blue fish don’t remember well ha ha”
I see your comments on literally all of seamus' videos 😂
I am convinced the idea for this video has been stuck in Seamus' head for a while but he waited to film it untill he was in America so he could ask Ben that one question in real life
You moving to America is the best thing you’ve ever done. I love this seamus... keep going with PIXAR. The background and lighting alone makes you look so much more professional
the second best decision was definitely shaving the beard tho! :)
VIISTING TEMPORARLY. (Don't get him in trouble with the US goverment)
Daniel Solomon 😂😂😂😂
Nah he was one of our only good youtube over here he should c0me back
Oops
I'm glad Sid recovered enough from the trauma to start analyzing what he saw.
I think the Pixar Theory has taken a turn for the better with the addition of Onward. It strengthens the Pixar Theory so much it’s honestly kinda funny. There is a little bit of guessing involved, but I’ve figured out a way it fits, and it completely changes the entire thing.
Basically, Onward takes the place of the first movie in the Pixar universe and basically what happens is someone must have wanted to destroy that magic because of the power it has. So someone tries but it it ends up destroying the planet into a bunch of smaller planets, one of them being Earth. It states in Onward, “Theres magic in everything,” so Earth still has the magic it once had when it was this other planet. The rest of the Pixar timeline is the same except now there is a source of magic. And since magic is in everything, we know that it is used in different ways in each film.
Nice maybe we have legends about the creatures and the same technology because the magic influenced us
Are you saying this is how the toys are alive?
Subdown In a way, yes
Or its just after monsters inc
Do It Too, there would have to be an apocalyptic event to destroy all traces of monster civilization, and we have no evidence of that. If it’s between A Bug’s Life and Monsters Inc you get the same problem.
I haven’t seen a convincing way to fit Onward into the Pixar Theory, maybe they won.
I personally think it would be cool if Forky was actually a recycled toy that someone remembers losing or throwing away
Woody is like the velveteen rabbit. He's on his way to being real
That's sounds legit.
Don’t make him die in the end. I didn’t like the velveteen rabbit because he may real. But a little boy just lost his mother’s toy for him
That story is soooooooooo sad.
Seamus: On the outside looking in
Me: WILL I EVER BE MORE THAN I’VE ALWAYS BEEN
THE FIRST THING THAT HIT MY HEAD ! 😂😂#theaterkidproblems !

Try to speak but nobody can hear
Cause I'm tap tap tapping on the glass!!
WAVING THROUGH A WINDOW!
@@BK-wb9oq as I wait for an answer to a prayer
I’m on 7:04. What if toys come to life from forms of love? Those blocks, though toys, can’t be loved. On the other hand, a spork that you loved so much you put your name on can.
This would also explain why Pete and the other could live for years with no playing, they’re loved by al because they’re collectibles.
If a kid drew eyes on a block and said it was Mr. A-b-c who liked to drink T... then... I think... it WOULD come to life 🤔
poeticsparrow exactly!
My man just gave the best hypothetical for why disabled people’s rights are human rights. Beautiful.
I was just waiting for him to call out that argument for being kinda ableist. It was perfect.
I like the way this video explains things, but I also have another idea.
Toys come to life once they have a name. Whether given to them buy the branding, the child, etc. A name gives them life.
I'm not sure about this, just thought of it while watching.
A name and a memory are pretty close I feel like. You can remember a name but not an experience, or you can remember an experience but not the name it belongs to. ‘Blocks’ didn’t have a personality or a fun experience bc he was focused on the other toys. And Etch-a-Sketch has a personality, probably some kind of teacher or presenter (as its personality is shown with the other toys), so he gets memories/experiences
It's all in how they play with them, I guess. Andy doesn't use blocks for anything but stacking and walls.
The transition into the ad is Oscar worthy 🏆
"With likes and replies and... just like any other comment section!" XD
If it wasn’t for Seamus I’d know nothing about Pixar. I don’t even watch the movies, but I’m hella invested in these theories!
Houte me too! #harrypotterfan
Literally how have you not seen Pixar movies??
I believe it is the love/care the kids have for the toys so the toys they dont care about dont come alive but the love of the child gives them life and that life stays even after the child moves on becuase they still loved those toys and remember those toys
Sid doesnt care about the toys he destroyed but they still live
Phantom Fox true, maybe more of an emotional connection? Not necessarily something good, but emotional either way
Getting their life from being actively played with, as well as being viewed as toys, makes the most sense to me.
It seems like they get their life from being loved, or having love poured into them. When Forky is created, that spark is what makes him alive.
I love that you can just run down the hall and consult with Ben. Please do this constantly, even if it annoys him. No, especially if it annoys him. Great video!!
"Am I a toy?"
In certain communities, you would be considered a boy toy~
OMG
YES
T-T
only seamus can make a 20 minute video on this
I agree with the memory theory, but I think it’s a little more complicated than “memory=life.” I think the more memories, and the stronger the emotional connection, the “more alive” a toy can get. This can explain why Woody is so special. While being displayed in a museum might give a toy eternal life, it won’t be as visceral or enjoyable a life as one where you’re the toy of a kid. I also think kids are better at giving toys life than adults, since their imagination and emotional connection to the toys gives them more life than an adult’s indifference. This is why it’s so devastating when an owner grows up and forgets/becomes indifferent to a toy.
I think Woody’s specialness comes from him being a security blanket. Think of it: A toy is something you play with, a security blanket is something to replace your parents affection and attention until the person is willing to let go.
before watching: id say they become alive when a kid plays with them and becomes attached. they kinda live off the energy from the kids. possibly why wheezy was sick but became better when andy found him
the blue backdrop never dies
1:14 "Being alive is a binary thing. You're either alive or you're not."
Viruses: Please... allow me to introduce myself.
10:01 The way to explain why Bullseye and Stinky Pete with the memory theory is because of the show. They had one episode but surely at least one person remembered it. It could be the people who worked on the show that remembered those toys. That could also make sense with the where is Adny's dad and the theory that those pictures that look like Andy but with glasses is Andy's dad and they both had the same name. It would make sense why Woody wouldn't remember anything after Andy's dad died because then Woody would have gone unconscious for a while and kinda died but when Andy plays with him those are the main memories he has and he thinks that Andy is his first kid
Concept: The added strength of all memories of a toy positively correlates with their will to live, meaning toys that have only the faintest memories will either wish to be remembered more or to be forgotten entirely.
Seamus your videos cheer me up so much, honestly, even stuff that wouldn't be that funny if anyone else said it, somehow when you say, we as an audience are rolling around on the floor!
seamus’s calmness at 13:51 is my everything 😂
Seamus: *being a salty snack*
Me: ... I have found my spirit animal.
My two favorite theory/lore channels under the same roof is fucking gold. Glad to see you with the old passion you had! You seemed to have lost your enjoyment of making videos for a while.
NO THAT WAS THE BEST SEGWAY INTO THE SPONSER
so assumably Woody, Jessie and the rest of the roundup gang toys (Andy’s and all the others made back in the 50s) went through the same discovery journey that Buzz went through being that they’re based off of fictional characters and such. I’d love to hear your thoughts on why Woody’s memory is so foggy in knowing what came before Andy seeing as he’s such an old toy. And even if it comes down to him being put straight into storage and forgotten about until Andy acquired him through whatever means that was, why doesn’t the Woody we know remember the period when he thought he was the real Sheriff Woody the way that Buzz does?
Gloom that's what I've been feeling today all of my plans were ruined by rain but thanks to your video I have now had a good day and I love it when you post
I loved this video, Seamus!!
This is Seamus 3.0 💙 I’m glad you are back, and recharged in this crossover international epic way
I am loving this new style Seamus, keep it up
You're video making skills have gone up sooooo much. You seem way more energetic and no matter what videos you've made for the past few weeks, I've been hooked.
Thank you
just
Thank you
This is exactly what I needed
I missed your analysis/theory videos so much! I’m 3 minutes in and I just had to stop to say how much I love your channel! I’m also v excited to watch this video as you had filmed it at the SCBHQ!
Heck yeah
Yes his channel is the best!
A. Ohana very true!
I am so early how I love this channel and will always support you Seamus
Why you gotta just go and make me question whether I'm a toy like that? Thanks for the nightmares.
I love that he just flexed working in the same office as scb.
3:18 My guess is that, they don’t need food and don’t process it in the same way, but they can taste and ‘eat’ if they want to.
14:17 felt like an epic 4th wall break and Bens reaction face was so real 😂
I’ll loving the new Seamus. P.S, So sorry to hear about your Grandad.
This is a REALLY awesome video! Thanks so much for answering the long lasting toy life question.
I just wanted to say that I loved this video so much😍💕
I love this so much. Great job!
Seamus this explains everything! It makes complete sense now! Mind blown! Fantastic job! 👊🏻
I really love this video. It explains things so well! I’m not confused about the toys anymore
I enjoyed this thank you I feel like I grasped this understanding but didn’t feel the need to explain it
This is my favourite video of seamus in awhile
Seamus, I am so sorry about your grand-pa.I watched your video together, and I can tell he was a wonderful person. Life is too short 💔
wow that was really amazing, so weel thought and said
Welcome back Seamus. It's like a warm blanket on a cold day. You're great.
MAKE MORE VIDEOS
LIKE THIS PLEASE ITS ACTUALLY AMAZING I LOVE NEW SEAMUS
One of your best videos ever!
Excellent video. Great job.
Gosh I used to watch you all the time nearly 2 years ago and could never remember your name, thank you youtube recommendations!
This is the quality content i subscribed for
Secretly Seamus is Sid from Toy Story now, thats why you see someone with a different haircut
I was waiting for you to mention the frickin hockey puck!!! 😁😁
This is the explanation I’ve been waiting for
I am so sorry about your grandpa, Seamus. He was a real treat to watch in your video!
Seamus and SCB collaborating from the same office is best thing that’s ever happened to the internet.
I also got a haircut and I felt insure about it, but when i saw you and felt a lot better though, thx and btw this video was so good
my hair has grown back now thank god
I think the theory behind it is that the toys that are special to their owner come to life. And as they get less and less special they have less ability. Then once they aren't as special and just collect dust they no longer are alive. That's really my theory about this.
Great video!
I think that the more a kid plays with a toy, the more human like it becomes. So, since Andy barley played with the etch of scetch, it was only able to make slight movements and not talk. Woody, however, was played with a lot by Andy, and so he has more human like qualities
I kinda liked this 20 min long introduction to the squares pace add.
14:15 wait wtf 😳
Best transition into a mini-collab 2020
You are so funny! That's good all the joy during these times
hey haha this is so weird i haven’t seen your videos in like a year or two - i hope your doing good, just re-subbed❤️
Man you are freaking adorable and funny 😆 i love your videos.
Pls do more stuff like this
It's aweosme
i need that jumper (love this video seamus)
I try to talk to my parents about this stuff but they always say it's "just a movie." Like Toy Story is just a movie 🧐
Saying "It's just a fantasy" is the most looked down upon thing for theorists.
I like the corollary to the memory theory that the blocks just show up, nobody made them as a toy, nobody knows they're in stock in the toy aisle, they just **are**
loved this video 🖤
Notif squad!! You know you’re early when there’s 8 comments and only 1 view!!
18:25 almost automatically got watered eyes. Those movies are simply amazing masterpieces of art.
Just what I’ve always wanted
Toys: *are extremely distorted and mixed with other toys*
Seamus: "Slightly disfigured"
Love this.
I always thought they could only become toys if the owner gave them a characteristic not the one they will portray exactly but still a characteristic
