When I Watch Toy Story Movies Why Can't I Stop Thinking About the Chinese Zodiac?πŸπŸŽπŸπŸ΅πŸ’­

I've been watching the first four Toy Story movies on Disney+ the last few weeks and saw 'Toy Story 5' at the cinema today and wish I had a dollar for every horse I saw in that movie.
Watching the first four movies I couldn't help seeing connections to the
Chinese zodiac animals.
Woody rides a horse named 'Bullseye', so Woody has very much a Year of the Horse vibe, plus Woody's girlfriend in the movie is Bo Peep, who looks after sheep.
Hey, isn't 8 a lucky number in Chinese culture?-)
And doesn't the Monkey year
follow the
Ram/Sheep year?
Maybe I've just been tearing off too many pages on my Chinese wall calendar and Toy Story is just about all those nostalgic toys we used to play with ... or at least know about?
