With Andy being such a young age, it’s terrifying to see him hug, sleep with and befriend the serial killer doll.
Another difference between the two movies is the age of the boy who is given the doll for his birthday, Andy.
In the first movie, he’s a seven-year-old boy who so desperately wants a “Good Guy” doll that his mother scrapes for a discounted one off a peddler to make him happy.
Chucky whispers things into Andy’s ear about where to take him or what to say, and because the film is from the perspective of the mom and the cop, we’re more removed from this boy’s interactions with him until later in the story.
