Also called Andy Drops Woody · Toy Story Rejection
Andy lets Woody fall while saying he no longer wants to play. Label the person moving on and the once-loved thing being dropped.
Use this image for a sudden loss of interest: a new game arrives, a favorite app changes, or a hobby stops feeling exciting. Woody represents the abandoned favorite.
Andy’s casual expression makes the rejection look abrupt. The existing subtitle supplies the response, so the added labels only need to identify the two sides.
The scene is a nightmare near the beginning of Pixar’s Toy Story 2, released in the United States on November 24, 1999. Woody imagines Andy throwing him away. It is not a real decision Andy makes in that scene. [1]
Know Your Meme traces captioned versions to Spanish-language Facebook posts in May 2017. An English edit replacing Woody with a Nintendo 3DS appeared on Twitter in March 2018, before broader use in gaming communities that December. [1]
Put the discarded thing beside Woody on the left, then label Andy on the right. Keep the yellow subtitle clear.
Make the reason for losing interest apparent in Andy’s label. A brief phrase such as “Me after the update” gives the rejection a cause.
