15 Things You Didn’t Know About Toy Story

15 Things You Didn’t Know About Toy Story 1 Sorry, You’re Not Barbie The Toy Story character of Little Bo Beep was originally meant to be a Barbie doll. We still think she’s cute, though. 2 And The Winner Is… Toy Story 2 is only one of three Disney movies to win Best Picture at the Golden Globes. The other two that won are The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast. Classics. 3 Don’t Those Books Look Familiar? The books on the shelf in Andy’s room are composed of the names of Pixar’s short films such as Knick Knack and Adventures of Andre and WallyB. Also, some of the authors are named after Pixar staff. Way to keep it in the family. 4 It Wasn’t Pizza Planet Speaking of Pizza Planet, Pizza Putt was supposed to be it’s original name. It was meant to be a combination between a Pizzeria and a mini-golf course. We’re glad they went with the “planet” because that crushes a mini-golf course any day. 5 Pizza Planet Delivery Truck Cameos This Pizza Planet delivery truck deserves some kind of award or something. It has appeared in all three of the Toy Story films and in all Pixar films except The Incredibles. We’re sure it would have made it into The Incredibles if it could fly…can it? 6 Not For The Big Screen Toy Story 2 was originally planned to be an hour long sequel that would have had its premiere on home video. Thank goodness that didn’t happen. 7 ’95 Was A Good Year Considering that the original Toy Story was released in 1995, the number “95” appears quite often throughout all three movies in reference to that year. That was definitely a good year for Toy Story. 8 Pixar Said No To GI Joe Pixar was denied the use of the name GI Joy by Hasbro because they found out the GI Joe doll was going to be blown up by Sid. Instead, they went for army men. Wow, long live GI Joe! 9 Buzz Lightyear’s Other Name Lunar Larry was Buzz Lightyear’s original name. We most certainly prefer the name Buzz Lightyear, anything else would have been weak. 10 Bad Career Mistake Billy Crystal was offered to be the voice of Buzz Lightyear, but he rejected it. After seeing the film he went on to say that it was the biggest mistake of his career. We agree, but hey it wasn’t meant to be. 11 You Are Way Too Expensive For Us Pixar and Tim Allen initially wanted Jim Carrey to be the voice of Buzz Lightyear, but they found that they couldn’t afford him due to the film’s low budget. What, are you made out of diamonds, Mr. Carrey? 12 Tom Hanks & Tim Allen Duo Toy Story 2 was the very first sequel that Tom Hanks and Tim Allen have starred in. We think they work really well together bringing Woody and Buzz Lightyear. 13 Where Credit Is Due The first Toy Story was the only Toy Story film to have full opening credits. After that, we’re sure they knew who they were and it went without saying. 14 The Original Andy The character of Andy is named after a Brown University Professor named Andries Van Dam. He is also a computer science and animation pioneer who actually taught many of the makers of Toy Story. 15 You Are A Toy…That’s It? “You Are A Toy” was said to be the original name for the movie. That would not have been nice, these are more than toys. They have hopes, and dreams, and stuff!
