Toy Story 2 [DVD]

Product Information

The first listing of Disc 2's menu is Toy Box: Outtakes, Games & More!, not to be confused with another Toy Box which held three discs and both Toy Story movies. The first item here is a reel of Outtakes (5:25), which were added to Toy Story 2's end credits a month into its theatrical run as a way of thanking/encouraging repeat viewings. Somewhere along the line, Disney realized that Pixar, which was then also at work on A Bug's Life, was more or less incapable of making something lightweight for the DTV sect. So, Toy Story 2 was then pinned for a theatrical release, with Pixar expanding the scope of the film to about 90 minutes (from the common DTV target of 75), creating new characters, and further fleshing out the story to make the product worthy of its name and big screen destination. Needless to say, it paid off. Toy Story 2 would open in theaters on the week of Thanksgiving 1999, exactly four years after its predecessor, and would become one of the best-reviewed and highest-grossing films not only of the year, but of all-time.

[12] The story originated with him wondering what a toy would find upsetting, how a toy would feel if it were not played with by a child or, worse, a child growing out of a toy. [13] Brannon suggested the idea of a yard sale where the collector recognizes Woody as a rare artifact. [16] The concept of Woody as a collectible set came from the draft story of A Tin Toy Christmas, an original half-hour special pitched by Pixar to Disney in 1990. The obsessive toy collector named Al McWhiggin, who had appeared in a draft of Toy Story but was later expunged, was inserted into the film. [13] Lasseter claimed that Al was inspired by himself.
