So Toy Story is apparently the trope maker for all CGI cartoon even though Reboot came before it. I was going to correct that but the page warns me not to confuse Trope Maker with Ur-Example.

So I ask you tropers, what is the difference between Trope Maker Ur example?

  • Ur-Example is the first example.
  • Trope Maker is the example where most of the conventions of the trope (or in this case genre or art style) come from.
  • Trope Codifier is the example that becomes the well known and imitated, even if it didn't, itself, create the conventions it uses and/or wasn't the first.

Okay, now would I be correct in removing Toy Story from Trope Maker and replacing it with Reboot or should I just leave it there and put Reboot in Ur Example?

You probably ought to leave Trope Maker at Toy Story but make sure Reboot is recognized as Ur-Example.

I think they should never be compared with the other. Toy Story was the first fully-CG feature-length film.

Yeah, because of the differences in the format of between film and television they aren't mutually exclusive. You can see elements of ReBoot that influenced later CG shows while Toy Story is what influenced CG films.

I'd have thought Toy Story was the Trope Codifier rather than Trope Maker...
