|Based on the Aesop fable "The Ant and the Grasshopper", the film promotes the concept of individualism as well as a strong work ethic, as well as featured an anti-slavery message. It also features the concept of bettering oneself. Also pro-second amendment and pro-military, as the main protagonist, Flik, had initially set off to find warrior bugs to fend off the grasshoppers after their latest visit and threat. It also has a condemnation on the homosexual agenda, in particular transvestitism, as the character Francis, a ladybug, is frequently mistaken for a woman, with Francis not only frequently correcting various characters about his actual gender, but also clearly getting angry at the characters mixing up his actual gender, at one point even launching into a tirade with several flies before having to be restrained.

|Based on the Aesop fable "The Ant and the Grasshopper", a young and inventive, if clumsy, ant named Flik plans to recruit a military force of warrior insects to save his colony from being oppressed by evil grasshoppers who have enslaved the ants to harvest food for them, lest they may be punished. Flik is a model for individualism as well as a strong work ethic who believes in bettering himself and his colony with his impressive harvesting inventions. To some extent, the film pokes fun at the homosexual agenda, in particular transvestitism: the male ladybug Francis frequently mistaken for a woman because of his species' name, and he routinely corrects other characters about this confusion, at one point even launching into a tirade with several flies before having to be restrained.

Walt Disney and his staff of talented filmmakers, animators, and musicians overcame many challenges to create one of the greatest cinematic masterpieces of all time: a masterpiece of solid family entertainment and a perfect film recommendation for everyone around the world. It is one of the few Disney films to date to feature an openly [[Christian]] princess: Snow White. In addition, as evidenced by the Evil Queen's overall character, it paints parental abuse, including attempted infanticide, in a very negative light.

|Altogether, the three films celebrate friendship and family unity, even if it focuses more on a figurative family with the boy Andy as a father-figure to his toys that come alive in humans' absence and praise him for loving and playing with them as though they were his children.

In the first installment, the world's first computer-animated theatrical feature, pull-string cowboy doll Sheriff Woody grows jealous when science fiction hero action figure Buzz Lightyear, who initially believes he is a real space hero, becomes young Andy's favorite toy among the toy community. Woody's efforts to make himself Andy's favorite toy again cause both him and Buzz to be separated from their owner, but teamwork allows them to find their way back to Andy just before he and his family move to a new house. The film's overall development was especially notable due to then-Disney Animation chairman [[Jeffrey Katzenberg]] initially ordering for ''Toy Story'' to be made significantly more liberal in its values by being more "adult, cynical, [and] edgy".  This included depicting Woody and the other toys in a significantly more mean-spirited light, with Woody going so far as to actually attempt to murder Buzz with no remorse whatsoever (instead of accidentally knocking Buzz out of the window, as he does in the final film). This caused Toy Story to be almost cancelled and Pixar itself to be nearly shut down until the company was given a second chance.<ref>http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2010/07/07/we-love-pixar-how-hollywood-cynicism-almost-ruined-toy-story-and-pixar/</ref>
