This trope came to mind in the thread for Boot Camp Episode because the example I recommended for it doubles as an example of this. What we have right now is okay, but I think it may be worthwhile looking into whether or not there is room for improvement.

What we have right now is zoomed out such that the characters and cells (or whatever it's called that's being used as cells in that scene) will be small if it's to remain at wiki size. Even within Toy Story 3, there are plenty more screenshots we could use. (I'm getting them from the DVD, but these three clips also come to mind as potential sources.)










Of course, which to go for depends on how we're supposed to demonstrate this trope. One problem with each of these is that they revolve around enough familiarity with Toy Story (or in the last two cases, with Barbie) as both generally non-prison-centric series, though both are pretty well known, especially the latter, and the Smurfs image for Darker and Edgier doesn't exactly work without some level of familiarity that it is a lighthearted series either.

Another option might be the Phineas And Ferb Get Busted example, wherein the G rating drives home the point that this is an otherwise tame series.

Maybe a combo of 1 and 6 from the OP?

I like 1 and 8 best. Whichever image we go with, I don't see a need for more than one.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

[up][up] That would be a bit misleading, as the first is from much earlier in the movie than the sixth is.

[up] Of those two, I'm inclined to think the eighth would be a bit more fitting, as Barbie is more well-known than Toy Story in general.

Bumping; this thread seems to have fallen behind in the past few days.

EDITED IN: So far I'm tentatively a little inclined to the one of just Barbie in her cell, for reasons I already mentioned. Perhaps with a caption like "this ain't your big sister's Barbie" if we use it.

1, 6, and 7 are my favs. Crowner?

[up] Crowner sounds like a good idea to me too.

Okay, now let's get some reasons in here to go with the votes so we can discuss the pros and cons of these images.

I don't see what's wrong with the current image. The wide angle, which includes more "cells" and is clearer about what's being used for that, seems better than all the suggestions.

I changed the link, it went straight to Toy Story instead of the pic.

[up][up] That's an interesting way of looking at it; I'll keep that in mind.

[up] Even the current description of it is misleading, as it's only 8 of the prisoners. And it's not just "all of the prisoners who have names in the series" either, as Barbie has been a major character in the series since Toy Story 2 and she isn't in that picture. Just "wide angle showing several prisoners and one guard" would be better. (Also, that description doesn't confuse anyone who has yet to watch Toy Story 3.)

Well, it's been a week and the only clear thing about the crowner is that no one likes the suggestions over the current, so I guess we're rolling with it as is. Locking up.
