Bechdel Test Movie List

Immediately after Buzz's failed flying attempt, Hannah asks her mother where her Sally doll is. Her mother replies, "What was that?" Hannah then sees the broken Buzz and says, "Never mind."

It's short, but it's there. Toy Story passes all three tests.

I disagree with Scott. Hannah's mother clearly did not hear the original question posed, and the interaction was then aborted. This surely can't be considered a conversation in any sense of the word!

Dissagree with Evans, the test is not about conversations, its about talking. In this case, Hannah talks to her mother and she replies, so technically, they talk to each other

I think it passes but loosely. Hannah's mother was not named.

It clearly doesn't pass. That is the only conversation between two women and it doesn't pass the first criteria, because both women have to have a name. The mom does not.

I think it may actually pass because 'mom' can be an actual name. let me explain. Remember the film is from a toy's / child's perspective. it's extremely uncommon for a a child to call a parent by there actual name at that age (i think andy is like 8 or so) and no other situation pops up that would give the mom a name. so to th kids involved mom is just 'mom'. something that many parents would relate to and respond to every day as there 'name'.

Even if if it doesn't completely pass, I would argue that it passes two of the tests, given that there's more than one woman in it: Bo Peep, Hannah, Molly, and Andy's mum (who, despite not being named, is enough of a substantial character to the film to count here I think).

The interaction between Hannah and her mom doesn't make the movie pass the test because the mother is not very relevant to the movie. Andy's mom is also unnamed, but is much more important to the plot - it's not just about being named or not. "Toy Story" is a definite fail when it comes to Bechdel Test.

I agree with Dallas Robinson. "Mom" was the name for Hannah's mom. This is true from a child's/toy's perspective, and it's also true phonetically. In the context of Hannah's line, "Mom" is used as a name.

This needs to be changed to 2 out of 3. Dan listed 3 named female characters, arguably more if you accept Mom as the name of a character in a story from a child's point of view.
