Did you ever believe as a child that your toys come alive when you are not around?

[deucher]

As a child, when I saw the first episode of Toy Story, I immediately thought that my toys can also behave like this when I am not at home. It didn't last long, but I even tried to remember their position when I left the room and then check if they stayed in that position

I never believed this for once or thought about it. If I had, I would have thrown away the toys

I never believed in these and that will be scary for kids because they may not leave their toys anytime

I never believed in this even when my classmates talks about their own toys having to walk or do some certain things for them. I believe that they were toys and they will remain toys forever.

Yes, I did! I always made sure my stuffed animals were taken care of. I never tossed them around and will always neatly put them back together. I wanted to make sure when I walked out of my room, they were comfortable, happy and ready to mingle!

Nah, I didn't have that kind of imagination. I've always been a pretty grounded person, preferring logical explanations over unreliable supernatural ones.

This was never something I believed in but I can understand why some kids may believe that is the case. Toy Story has been a big one that has in some cases caused children to believe their toys can come alive.

Depends. Where I grew up in have these superstitions of inanimate object coming to life and it's not just toys alone. It's supernatural local folklore stuff; nothing too exciting.

If I were to believe all of my toys have this... trait. I'd be deathly afraid of owning any of them. I don't think Toys Story really has any influence in this belief of mine.

Toy stories and also lots of imagination from watching cartoons can cause these on kids. Some believed that their toys got superpowers to help them when they are in trouble. Well, it wears off when they are grown.
