Lamp Life

 

We know the story of Woody, Buzz, Rex, Mr. Potato Head, Mrs. Potato Head, and the rest of the gang, but have you ever wondered what happened to Bo Peep and her sheep? If you recall, Bo Peep and her sheep and the lamp that they lived on were given away after Toy Story 2, but were reintroduced in Toy Story 4 when the gang ran into them at the carnival as part of a crew helping return lost toys to their owners.

 

But what happened to Bo and her sheep while Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the gang were attempting to escape Sunnyside Daycare? All your questions are answered in Lamp Life. Bo chronicles all the different homes she lived in following her departure from Andy’s house, from loving homes with little girls that eventually outgrew their baby lamp to white elephant parties, college parties, even aboard a ship! Eventually, though, the crew ended up at the very antique store that Woody had to escape in Toy Story 4 before finding Bo Peep at the Carnival.

 

A very adorable short story directed by Valerie LaPointe, it’s fun to see where your favorite characters are up to after watching them in their main films. Walt Disney does a great job of that, with numerous other shorts just within the Toy Story franchise to keep fans up to date on what the gang is up to. If you liked Lamp Life, be sure to watch the rest of the Toy Story shorts, including Party-Saurus Rex, Toy Story of Terror, Hawaiian Vacation, and Small Fry, plus the series, Forky Asks A Question!
