Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Richard Scarry nursery rhymes and children's stories. (Pierre Bear, specifically)
Richard Scarry rules.
I have Brownie, my teddy my mom got at a baby shower. I couldn't sleep without him as a kid, and I remember worrying as a teenager how I was ever going to be able to sleep without him as an adult.
I am just fine without him, but I will still very occasionally pull him out of the closet and cry on him.

I should holla now, right? Is that right? I'd hate to get it wrong and lose all my 'cred'.
HOLLA!
HEE.
It's funny, I never slept with totems when I was young, but as an adult, I can't sleep without Oliver, the squid...not for any sentimental reason at all, but because I put him between my forearms when I'm on my side. That and a pillow between my knees has totally eliminated a life-time of chronic back pain. So, while Oliver doesn't have that warm, emotional comfort thing going on, I couldn't sleep without him!

omg, so cute.
Well crap. I was afraid they were going to end on that note, and I've been edgy about it ever since I saw the first preview. It's one of my soft spots.
Sigh. It's hard to be an animist.

You have a plush squid? A cephalopod neighbour? I approve. Were I to have a plush squid in my possession, I would name him "The Notorious Squiddie Smalls". (We're very 'street' here in Melbourne, you know.)
In spite of the 10-minute sobfest, it IS a happy ending. But it's happy in that special Pixar way that means you'll cry for 10 minutes anyway.
