The toys inhabit the same physical world we do
but experience it completely differently. A hallway
isn't simply a hallway. It can be a canyon. A
drawer becomes a room. A moving truck can feel
like a skyscraper. Ordinary human spaces become
landscapes of enormous consequence. Small textures
and imperfections help establish that scale. When
Jessie returns with Smarty Pants and searches for
batteries in a drawer, meeting Atlas and Snappy, a
drip of dried paint or a scratch in the wood becomes
surprisingly important. Those details instantly
remind you how small these characters are.
