All Lots-o-Huggin' Bears meet tragic/unfortunate ends. In much of the same way that Buzz Lightyear toys were made with built-in personalities and back stories, Lots-o-Huggin' Bears were crafted with the sole purpose of being their owner's best friend, no matter what. Unfortunately, this leads them to be extremely codependent. Lotso's unexpected separation from Diasy despite his pre-programmed need for human friendship lead to him becoming the psychological mess that he was. The Lotso Daisy replaced her original with also eventually went insane once she outgrew him and he killed himself.
Aside from the last part--how do toys kill themselves, anyway?--this is entirely plausible. And really, really depressing. ;_;
yes i think my toys are alive now, even though i can think of a thousand things that prove it's impossible
I want a Lots-o-Huggin' Bear now. Just to keep him company.
