The opening of TOY STORY 2 (1999) is one of Pixar’s greatest fake-outs.
It begins like an epic space adventure with Buzz Lightyear, only to reveal it was Rex frantically button-mashing a video game the entire time.
This scene is a masterpiece, it’s basically a textbook depiction of ego death. The shattering of a grand illusion, that desperate final attempt to prove the lie right and then the total psychological collapse. Essential viewing.
