Slightly unrelated, but this a great reminder of how influential people like George Lucas & Steve Jobs were to the technology behind the entertainment industry. They saw something in teams like Pixar and by giving them a platform to execute their vision, they forever revolutionized the industry. These sorts of stories are always fascinating to me, it's that perfect mix between art and tech coming together to create something extraordinary. That original Pixar team were just cooking!
Bill Murray was also approached for the role of Buzz, but he lost the producer's phone number, which he regrets because he claims he would've accepted the role. And more specifically, it was the skyrocketing Mr. Potatohead sales from the film's success that made Mattel change their minds and let them use Barbie in the sequels.

Speaking of Toy Story, the original version of Toy Story 4 could make a good What Could Have Been. It was about finding Bo Peep, Forky was not in it, and ended with Bo coming back with the toy gang at Bonnie’s house
Also, What Could Have Been Toy Story 2 and Circle 7’s Toy Story 3 would be a great idea along with Monsters Inc.2 Lost in Scaradise and Finding Nemo 2 also from Circle 7
It always amazes how masterful at storytelling the people at Pixar are (especially during 1995-2010) including the "plot hole" of Buzz freezing whenever people are around, even though he thinks he's real. Pete Doctor revealed that the screenwriters did try to think of an explanation but they realized that it always stopped the story cold and ultimately wasn't needed.
There's a pretty popular fan theory that Buzz just simply can't help it. Similarly to how you may automatically flinch when an object occurs in your direction even though you know it isn't going to hit you. This is probably the most spot-on explanation.
@@exaltedoddballI always thought it was because he observed everyone else doing it and just did it to blend in with the locals. Get on their good side.
That reminds me of an old 2000's Canadian kids show that was dubbed here in the UK for the BBC called Lunar Jim It's basically Bob the Builder if he was an astronaut
The most brilliant story beat was them deciding to contrast B + W. It explains the story in a metaphorical sense without even exploring it yet; the juxtaposition of an old west cowpoke and futuristic spaceman.
My favourite thing about toy story are all of the real life toys featured among all the characters. The Etch-A-Sketch, Slink the dog, Mr. And Mrs. PotatoHead. Even Mike, the Little Tykes brand cassette player with the microphone attached. These were all toys I had as a kid, if not was handed down by my older brother. There's a level of innocence in those toys being characters in these movies. It's comforting.
It's kind of funny that Woody and Buzz were more my toys. Products created because of the movie that I loved and played with as a kid. So rewatching the movies I'm seeing the toys I had as main characters in the films.
It's absolutely crazy how much of all 4 sequels took a page from the original Toy Story script that got rejected by Disney. "Going on a road trip and becoming a lost toy in the process", sounds a lot like the plot to TS4. Plus, the other 2 you pointed out.
Coolest thing is that they did in fact create the coolest toy that everyone did want. It wasn't just a generic interpretation of what one concept artist thought could suffice for what a kid would want. The whole world wanted a buzz lightyear.
Hard to believe that Toy Story went through so many revisions. Truly tells how much work, care, and effort goes into these films. Also, thank christ the Black Friday Reel was not the final version of the film, and I will never, EVER, understand what Jeffrey Kaitzeberg was thinking when he try pivoting the film into that direction. Then, again, he allowed Shark Tale to be made, a film that mine as well be Finding Nemos own equivalent to the Black Friday Reel, so, idk.
It would've been interesting to see a second Woody Doll with the Black Friday personality appear in one of the sequels as a villain. I wonder how our Woody would've reacted to that?
@@Kenny-ep2nf Don't get me wrong, I liked him in the end, but the beggining of the 1st movie is so hard to watch for me because of the second hand embarrassment I feel for him.
@@LaCabraAsada you talking about when he was a bit jealous of Buzz? Well you gotta admit that Mr Potato wasn’t making things any easier when he kept rubbing it in Woody’s face that Buzz has different features/buttons than him. I admit that Woody knocking Buzz out the window was wrong however I don’t blame him for his insecurity
It still bewilders me that not only did Steve Jobs co-found Pixar, but it also helped get his CEO role back at Apple after being ousted from the company some years prior. Even more surprising / unnerving is that the company was spun off from a small animation team at Lucasfilm. And eventually both would come into the hands of Disney 6 years apart.
I feel like this has been your best video to date yet. I had no idea that George Lucas, Joss Whedon and Steve Jobs were so heavily involved and that Pixar was already around during the 80s.
There's also that middle part of Pixar's evolution (late 80's-early 90's) where they took a break from experimental short films and focused on commercials (there's galleries of them you can find on YT). This allowed them the time and money to grow the studio and train more animators.
It's crazy that Pixar on their first film was able to land Tom Hanks during his run of back-to-back Best Actor Oscars, arguably the biggest male T.V. star at the time in Tim Allen, and one of the all-time great comedians in Don Rickles. Pretty astonishing.
It's pretty essential to the film that they did. Even though they toned down how jealous and bitter Woody was after the test reels, Woody in the final film was still a bit of a jerk. It's just that Tom Hanks has such a believable everyman quality to his performance that you completely understand why Woody did what he does. And Tim Allen being pompous but harmlessly deluded only added to that.
It was because of the Disney connection. If it was JUST Pixar they don't get those guys. Disney had distrubued The Santa Claus & was in talks to buy ABC (Home Improvement was running on ABC). Pretty sure that's how they got Tim. Hanks had done multiple movies with Disney (Turner & Hooch was Touchstone but they were a part of Disney.... plus Splash). He's obviously a big Disney fan (he played Walt in a movie even).
@@RatzaChewy He was riding high a little bit on being the favorite toy, so he was very insecure about potentially being replaced since Andy wasn't playing with him. But they toned it down quite a lot to where you can sympathize with him, which was important. He tries to push Buzz behind the cabinet so that Andy won't find him and will pick Woody for the trip, but winds up knocking him out the window, where the rest of the toys somewhat justifiably (but also irritatingly) assume the worst and throw him out too. Thing is, the other toys always kind of got on my nerves, because their blind hate for Woody and lynch-mobbing gets in the way not just in the first movie, but in the third movie, when they should trust him more, they refuse to believe they were going to be put back in the attic for safekeeping and that it was all an accident even though Woody was pretty clear. So they're all pretty flawed personality-wise, Buzz included. It works, though. They're all good movies, even 4, although I do lean on the side of people saying that Woody probably shouldn't have abandoned Bonnie. It's not that they didn't work up to it, but it just seems like something that would crush Andy, to find out that the kid he trusted with his favorite toy just lost him at some carnival and didn't even care.
I often forget how much of an impact George Lucas had on the industry even beyond Star Wars. It boggles the mind how a handful of key people shaped popular culture since the early 80s, for better or worse. Really makes you think, doesn't it.
I don’t know how you manage to pull off such extensive research and gather the rare clips and media you include, but I’m always impressed and more importantly entertained by the job y’all do with these. I hope y’all are always collecting info on even current productions to create future videos on like “What Could Have Been”: - the original AVENGERS KANG DYNASTY plan - CPT. AMERICA: New World Order - Every different script for Marvel’s BLADE - Tarantino’s abandoned THE MOVIE CRITIC - MAD MAX The Wasteland - David Gordon Green’s abandoned EXORCIST trilogy - MISSION IMPOSSIBLE Dead Reckoning Part II - and others…
Toy story also has unused songs never put into the movie: The fool a song that reworked into strange things, & Plastic space man another song reworked into sailing no more. The fool & plastic spaceman are my favorites. it has women choir voices singing in the background. They're more serious & heart toning with the film than they used with. Especially plastic spaceman. The fool is semi same til get the end song the last lyric is just "Ow!" somebody got hit. Makes sense, makes up with the movie all the way. I can't deny them for not trying.
I’m so glad that we got the official version of Toy Story and it’s one of my favorite 90s Disney movies for sure but it is also quite fascinating to hear about the process of how it was made. I’ve heard this story before from a tv documentary but the way you described it was also really well written and thought out! Good job!
You should also make What Could’ve Been: Monsters Inc 2: Lost in Scaradise. It would’ve been about Mike & Sully finding Boo after they learned that she moved away and traveling through the human world finding her.
What a great episode, it really shows you how hard it is to come up with great ideas that can change a movie entirely. That first iteration would've bombed so hard, likely killing Pixar and depriving us of some of the best animated movies of all time.
What Could Have Been: Monsters, Inc. 2: Lost in Scaradise, Dolph Lundgren's Venom (1997), Finding Nemo 2, Pixar's Newt, Leprechaun vs. Candyman, The Croods 2, Dreamwork's Me and My Shadow, and Tobe Hooper's Spider-Man
It's a nice change of pace. Normally, the original pitches for these sound really good compared to the watered-down version we got. But I find myself not liking the original pitch here at all, especially with how mean Woody was, especially the window scene. It being an accident allows the audience to continue to root for Woody and Buzz to be friends because they know it wasn't deliberate.
Another Fun Fact: Paul Newman and Jim Carrey were the studio’s first choices for the roles of Woody and Buzz, but were deemed "too expensive" for the film’s budget. While I’ll FOREVER associate Woody with Tom Hanks and I’m glad Tim Allen voiced Buzz, I could weirdly see Jim Carrey voicing Buzz Lightyear. Plus I’d love to see how he’d play opposite Hanks as Woody!
Jeffrey Katzenberg sure had a lot of confidence during the 90s, considering he was the man who would eventually think Quibi was a good, profitable idea
I wish we could see more of the Black Friday reel but Disney doesn’t want it to ruin the film’s reputation but I’m glad the woody we all know and love isn’t a monster or a jerk
What Could’ve Been? The original plans/vision for the Harry Potter film franchise in terms of production and storytelling for each movie. Now that we’re getting a full on rebooted TV series for HBO MAX.
Love these videos. Its crazy to think there was a time when Pixar movies were a guaranteed good time at the movies AND that there was so much turmoil behind the scenes.
I couldn’t believe that The Brave Little Toaster was originally meant to have 3D backgrounds. If only Disney had that chance. I wonder if the execs were eating their words when Toy Story became a hit.
I've been a walking Pixar encyclopaedia since early childhood, but the video still managed to entertain! I'd be much more interested in a TS4 video though, since I know much less about its production.
Never knew that Steve Jobs was so much involved in the first computer animated movie too. I've been reluctant to say it to now, but yes, he was a visionary.
@@Bulletsandblockbusters I always stay tuned for your videos bro,you do great research on it all and I’m not sure how you manage to spit these amazing videos out so quick,just don’t overwhelm yourself in the grind man
Eventually I wanna see you do the infamous Circle 7 Animation version of Toy Story 3 which saw a defective Buzz and countless other Buzz toys being recalled and shipped back to the Taiwanese factory only to find out that the recalled Buzz toys are just being destroyed and replaced with newer ones
Yeah that version of Toy Story would have bombed . I'm looking forward to your video on Star Trek Insurrection. Maybe some time you can do one on the original version of Star Trek 2.
The fact the idea for toy story 2&3 existed before 1 is crazy Also i love the old designs shown in the video, specially the venquilotrist and old woody designs
I like to image you trying to talk about John Lasseter without thinking about what he did on the Job that got him fired, You’re editing the video and the elephant in the room Is like: ya know, am never gonna leave until ya talk about the you know what, You: why do ya gotta make my job difficult? Elephant in the room: because it’s part of my job, You: good point…
Would be nice to have a video on Scooby-Doo 3 there has been some stuff revealed recently from James Gunn happy 20th anniversary to Monsters Unleashed!
Can you explained The 2006 Draft of Toy Story 3 (when Pixar got the rights to make TS3 & when Micheal Ardnt becoming the screenwriter) as well as The Romantic Comedy Draft of Toy Story 4?
Well good thing the final version that we got is awesome better than a lot of disastrous original ideas. But good thing they use some of those ideas for the sequels like the toys being played at school and Woody being taken by Al for auction. Buzz Lightyear is a way better name than Lunar Larry. Toy Story 3 this is where the franchise should have ended like it already have a perfect ending until then Pixar made a fourth one and now they're making a fifth movie.
Slightly unrelated, but this a great reminder of how influential people like George Lucas & Steve Jobs were to the technology behind the entertainment industry. They saw something in teams like Pixar and by giving them a platform to execute their vision, they forever revolutionized the industry.

Toy Story Good Franchise!!!!!!!
The fact Toy Story 5 should come out next year because it would be its 30 year anniversary
Yeah that version of Toy Story would have bombed . I'm looking forward to your video on Star Trek Insurrection. Maybe some time you can do one on the original version of Star Trek 2.
This was both fun and informative. I've yet to see a TH-camr make a video this good regarding Toy Story's origin. Well done.
Wow, thanks!
An edgy Toy story sounds awesome and completely ruins my childhood with that one thought amazing video as always bnb
Haha thanks!
Woe now that was fascinating 😳 another brilliant video roll on next 🎥🍿 brilliant work
Thank you!
The fact the idea for toy story 2&3 existed before 1 is crazy
Also i love the old designs shown in the video, specially the venquilotrist and old woody designs
You should a video about the cancelled, 2004 Batman vs Superman
Wow I never knew any of this this is great
I like to image you trying to talk about John Lasseter without thinking about what he did on the Job that got him fired,
You’re editing the video and the elephant in the room Is like: ya know, am never gonna leave until ya talk about the you know what,
You: why do ya gotta make my job difficult?
Elephant in the room: because it’s part of my job,
You: good point…
Would be nice to have a video on Scooby-Doo 3 there has been some stuff revealed recently from James Gunn happy 20th anniversary to Monsters Unleashed!
Fun fact: one of the few code names for the movie was ‘toyz in the hood’
hehe coffee's ready boss-man lets start another banger and good morning big bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You already know!
Another great video. Good job👏
I did not expect toy story to be a Jobs product.
Thanks for the amazing video ❤
I remember reading about a crappy creepypasta all about the Black Friday screening on the first Toy Story screening, it was weird
11:08 - "...and Disney had a track record of producing hits..."
Operative word; HAD.
I just got back from holiday and saw that I have two of your videos to catch up on. Hell yeah!
Welcome back!
Not gonna lie I would’ve liked to see this type of version
Great work, I love your videos! Keep them coming!
Can you explained The 2006 Draft of Toy Story 3 (when Pixar got the rights to make TS3 & when Micheal Ardnt becoming the screenwriter) as well as The Romantic Comedy Draft of Toy Story 4?
Well good thing the final version that we got is awesome better than a lot of disastrous original ideas. But good thing they use some of those ideas for the sequels like the toys being played at school and Woody being taken by Al for auction. Buzz Lightyear is a way better name than Lunar Larry.
Toy Story 3 this is where the franchise should have ended like it already have a perfect ending until then Pixar made a fourth one and now they're making a fifth movie.
💯
0:28 the final version literally included a mean spirited woody, he spent that whole movie with nothing but pure hatred for buzz
I mean, he did at the beginning, but over the course of their adventure, he started to become friends with buzz
Funny how when the "jobs" story is told, he created Pixar.... Lol
Another great video!!! Can you do Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian next as I’d LOVE to see you cover that!!!
Yup it’s on the to do list
@@Bulletsandblockbusters perfect!!! Can’t wait to see it whenever you get to it!
