A boy's hand holds a cowboy doll by one arm, the doll dangling limply, about to be released. The cowboy's face shows surprise and betrayal. Star-pattern wallpaper fills the background behind the boy. The viewer looks up at the scene from the floor, the perspective of all the other toys watching one of their own get dismissed. Everything about the composition says: you have been replaced.","definition":"Andy from Toy Story holds Woody out at arm's length, about to drop him. The format labels the thing being abandoned (Woody) and the thing replacing it (whatever Andy now prefers).
