Transcripts

Toy Story 3 is one of Pixar's best

movies and stands as a crowning

achievement of what the series could be

what if I told you that the first

version of Toy Story 3 was written in

2002 as a bargaining chip against Pixar

and might have been 2D animated well

that's the movie we'll be discussing

today with the help of the film's

original writers Sher and billstein ker

as we break down the development plots

and cancellation of both versions of the

who done it draft of Toy Story 3 the

year was 2002 and it was a tense time

between Disney and Pixar during the

development of Toy Story 2 Disney's at

the time CEO Michael Eisner made a

decision that would Blindside the studio

Pixar had recently signed a five-film

contract with Disney a bugs life was the

first of those films but Eisner argued

that since Toy Story 2 was a sequel and

the contract specified five original

projects that Toy Story 2 wouldn't count

toward those five films which left a

very bad taste in Pixar's math meanwhile

husband and wife writing Duo Sherry and

Bill Stein ker were working on their

show teachers pet for Disney they had a

tight working relationship with one of

their bosses David ston who had recently

been promoted to president of Walt

Disney television animation which also

gave him jurisdiction of Disney movie

tunes Studio we were really tight with

David

stainton um who then moved up in the

world

and at various times dragged us along

with him stainton had drafted the Stein

calar to write a Toy Story project for

Disney movie tune but it wasn't Toy

Story as you traditionally expected and

I have some vague memory and I don't

know if this is real or I dreamed it

that the intention was that it would be

a handdrawn animation like the toy tunes

that it wasn't going to be CG do you

remember that anything like that Billy

no that that sounds about right while

sher's recollection can't be directly

confirmed it is worth noting that Not

only was Disney movie tunes film output

entirely 2D animated save for one

project until 2008 but the Buzz Light

Year of Star Command cartoon already set

a precedent for 2D animated non-cg Toy

Story Stories the duo was given free

reign to write whatever story they

wanted for the gang but the reason why

they had so much Freedom proved to be a

fascinating and political double-edged

sword and was my understanding I think

that that it was sort of a stalking

horse they were never going to make that

script but they they I thought they were

going to use it against Pixar to say

like oh we could you know we could just

drop the dime and go do this even though

I don't think anybody believed that but

don't think anybody cared I think we

were just holding the space I think

there was a little winking yeah yeah I

think there was definitely winking going

on because we knew it but but I don't

think anybody actually said it oh they

almost possibly said it I think they

joked about it a bit so yeah there was

jokes they just cut us loose and said

you guys yeah go make a mystery have fun

do whatever you want I don't remember

pitching anything to anyone ever no I

don't I don't either I just remember I

was like they

they they didn't care I they they just

wanted to have a script they wrote a

script that was close to their hearts

drawing a bit of inspiration from real

life in the form of the movie's newest

headlining character a sock monkey named

HEI who was a real toy owned by one of

their children in a story that saw him

Woody and the rest of the gang in the

center of an Agatha Christi inspired hun

it mystery to that end their draft dated

July of 2002 isn't even titled Toy Story

3 with the placeholder name of Toy Story

Christmas mystery project but before we

explore how the film was killed revived

and Rewritten as Toy Story 3 without the

knowledge of the Stein kers let us in a

hem Studios exclusive take a deep dive

into Sher and Bill Stein kar's version

of Toy Story

3 Our Story begins on Christmas morning

as Andy opens up his presents he

receives no new toys only books and

clothes in his room his toys are pumped

no new competition for them however

Sheriff Woody Pride convinces the others

that they need to be there for Andy to

cheer him up but as fate would have it

Andy very quickly becomes a bookworm

falling in love with the TJ kar's boy

detective series Andy winds up watching

a movie adaptation of one of the books

curse of the Clock of Doom but he thinks

that the book is better turning it off

right before the ending to start a new

book but the toys are enraptured by this

story especially Buzz who even guesses

that the villain faked his demise and

why he did it shortly after this Andy

his mom and Molly take an end-of-year

trip to Grandma Alisa's Ranch Andy

packing his books with his toys almost

being an afterthought the toys bicker in

the cramped suitcase but Woody is

oblivious excited to spend some time at

the ranch but he eventually snaps at his

friends when their chatter becomes too

much to bear remarking that life would

be simpler if he didn't have to take

care of everybody Grandma greets the

family as they arrive but Andy's nose

deep in his book she ushers him into the

den plops him in gry's reading chair and

gives him a reading buddy a sock monkey

named HEI he used to be his uncle

Andrew's reading buddy years ago she

then proceeds to pull out a box of

vintage TJ kar's books for him day turns

to night and Andy never winds up

unpacking his suitcase so Mrs potatoe

head uses the peg on the back of her eye

to poke a hole in the zipper unzip it

from the inside and let everybody out

the toys make their way to the den and

ham raises the idea of burning Andy's

books so he's forced to play with them

again but Woody immediately shuts this

down the gang finds Andy as he dozes off

mid page with HEI trapped under his arm

they Free the Monkey and he quickly

recognizes Woody but the sheriff has no

memory of him we learned that one

Christmas years ago Grandma was going to

pass down HEI to Andy but since the toy

was older she wanted to wash him up

first not reading the weather report for

that day she hung him outside to dry on

the clothesline where he quickly became

the victim of a snowstorm and had to

watch through the window Andy unwrap

Woody Grandma found him a day later

watched him one more time and put him

back away everybody is sympathetic to

the story except for Woody but HEI

wouldn't expect Woody to understand he

has a family to try and lighten the mood

ham throws Andy's book toward the

fireplace Woody lunges for it in the air

he he grabs him so he doesn't fall into

the fire but Woody does fall into the

flame eventually getting pinned inside

thinking quickly Buzz manages to save

him and the book as Woody gets his

bearings HEI tells him that he should

learn to be more careful around fire

wood he questions if him falling into

the fireplace was an accident and he he

tells him that everything is an accident

unless he believes in fate the moment is

broken as Andy's mom enters the room the

Gang goes limp and HEI dives into Andy's

arms She carries the new Duo up to bed

with the toys sneaking their way back

into the suitcase shortly after but

Woody wants to keep an eye on HEI so he

decides to sleep outside the next

morning Andy and the rest of the family

leave to go sledding by Uncle Andrews

and the toys realize that Wheezy is gone

everybody pairs off to search for him

HEI offers his help but Woody wary

shoots him down as everybody returns

Woody enters the room panicked ham

wandered off and he can't find him Woody

accuses HEI for The Disappearance but

the monkey raises the point that Woody

was the last one with him as the toys

continue their search one by one they're

pulled into a closet with a wire hanger

by Woody Who convinces The Gang That HEI

is responsible for Wheezy and Ham's

disappearance and him falling into the

fireplace now riled up the gang charges

out to attack the sock monkey but they

sober when they hear Woody from another

part of the house screaming out in

Terror they find him standing over a

pile of HEI colored yarn unraveled Rex

is sickened by the sight and storms out

Woody goes after him but manages to lose

him too so the toys begin another search

as Woody and B peep investigate he

jokingly scares her to try and break the

tension but B isn't amused so she storms

off agitated wood he follows but he

can't find her either he takes off tells

buzz and Jesse about it then rushes to

go go tell the Potato Heads but before

he could warn the mister and mes they're

picked off too Woody Buzz and Jesse

realized that there are only two other

places they could possibly look in the

house the attic and the basement as buzz

and Jesse searched the attic she climbs

an unsteady stack of boxes to search the

rafters but the Tower tumbles with Buzz

catching her and Diving out of Harm's

Way She thanks him and he blushes as she

leans in to plant a tender smooch the

lights go out and she's dragged off Buzz

stumbles through the dark eventually

bumping into a dress Maker's dummy

ricocheting down the steps through the

kitchen and down into the basement to

find wood he at the breaker panel

turning the lights back on and then a

thought hits buzz like a ton of bricks

it's just him and Woody trapped in a

house in the middle of a snowstorm Buzz

knows that he didn't do anything and

Woody was alone for every disappearance

he figures that Woody even probably use

the wire hanger to unravel he Buzz

accuses his friend but Woody denies

everything and takes off frantically

searching for his friends throughout the

house to prove his innocence with Buzz

chasing behind him the entire time Woody

eventually falls out of a window into

the blizzard flopping in the wind before

eventually using his bandan as a parisel

to carry him into the loft of the barn

where he finds an old pole string chatty

caty doll who doesn't seem to be alive

in the way that our heroes are as Woody

Cycles through her postering phrases she

begins to eventually only repeat one

tell me a story Woody eventually becomes

frustrated with her mimicking her during

this he knocks over some alphabet blocks

and continues to mimic her arranging

them to spell tell me a story but what

he sees shocks him the top of the blocks

read out I know a secret Woody pulls her

string again I love you he rearranges

the blocks who done it Woody's close

let's have a tea party he has your

family one more poll please change my

dress the answer is in the book although

the answer is incomplete Woody notices a

book nearby a ratty copy of the curse of

the Clock of Doom he picks it up and

comes to a shocking Revelation he tosses

the book as it flies out of the barn the

Wind Blows Its tattered binding apart

meanwhile Buzz tries to track down Woody

in the blizzard but his metal bearings

wind up freezing locking him in place

just then an Airborne page from the book

connects with him as he reads the page

he also comes to a revelation Woody

trudges through the storm to return to

the house and finds Buzz Frozen Woody

can't move him so he finds a jack rabbit

rides him back to the house and drags

Buzz along with him they make their way

back and a now defrosted Buzz chases

Woody as he climbs the trellis back in

into the window this chase continues

through the house before they eventually

wind up in a tussle culminating in Woody

stumbling off the mantle and into the

fireplace Buzz is horrified just then he

emerges he faked his unravel man as for

the gang they're all trapped inside of

Andy's suitcase Buzz lunges for the case

but HEI Scoops him in a yarn net and

shoves him inside with the others the

villain picks up the case ready to throw

it into the fireplace place with Woody

when out of seemingly nowhere the

suitcase is lassoed by a familiar pul

string as Woody emerges from behind the

woodbin he he's not the only one who

could fake his demise Woody reveals that

he and Buzz figured out that like the

villain from curse of the Clock of Doom

he faked his death which meant that he

was still in the house and probably had

everybody so Woody and Buzz staged the

entire fight and enraged HEI attacks

Woody with a fire poker lamenting that

he stole the love of his life but he's

not talking about Andy but his bride to

be sh she he explains that years ago the

Christmas night that Andy got woody as

Andy plays in the snow losing one of his

boots catching his sock on a rock and

unraveling it Grandma finally notices he

he Frozen and unpins him from the

clothesline and sees the strands of yarn

on the ground unraveled before her life

even began he he tries to plunge the

poker into Woody but Buzz steps in and

flips he to the others the sock begs to

be thrown in the fire his life is

nothing without shii the toys take pity

on him and what he realizes that Bose

B realizes that wire hanger may work as

a crochet hook our story comes to a

close at the wedding of HEI and shishi

as the bride reaches the altar he lifts

her veil to reveal a God awful mess but

he thinks she's beautiful Wheezy sings

As the toys and the Jack Rabbit join HEI

the truth sometimes is truly Stranger

Than

Fiction after Sher and bill turned in

their script they had a discussion with

David stainton and Michael Eisner where

they received some feedback and wrote

some notes and in their own words I I

just recall it being one of many many

things that just seem

to disappear into the ether and you move

on do the next thing over the next few

years Sher and Bill would go on to work

on the film adaptation of teacher pet

ston would be promoted to become the

president of Walt Disney feature

animation and tensions between Disney

and Pixar would come to a head climaxing

with Pixar after 10 months of

negotiation with Disney announcing in

January of 2004 that once they finished

out the five picture contract with

Disney they wouldn't be pursuing another

deal with them ending their partnership

amidst this chaos Eisner wasn't shaken

by this loss in fact he believed that

Disney didn't actually need Pixar as

part of their current deal Disney owned

everything that Pixar created while

working with them which meant that

Disney could make sequels to any of

those movies without Pixar's involvement

Eisner even figured that nobody would be

able to tell the difference as 2004

rolled into 2005 Disney quietly ramped

up Circle 7 animation their new studio

custom built to create Pixar sequels

during this time Sher and Bill's script

was Rewritten by David Gyan and Michael

handleman many years later that version

of the script would be released to the

public by Script collector Yoshi killer

monkey she was relegated to a closet

where she taught herself how to dance

and hum very loudly as she does it Jack

on the other hand claims to be bought

from sou bees as a companion to gladiola

who smitten tells the gang how Jack has

traveled the world having adventures in

Egypt and Shanghai and the North Pole

just to name a few as Jack recounts

these Tales to the others Woody is very

annoyed and despite his protest the

others want to arrange it so that Andy

finds Jack and gladiola when he wakes up

Woody pulls Buzz aside to tell him that

he does not trust Jack but Buzz tells

Woody to not let his imagination run

away with him as they make their way

through the house Jesse notices that

Bullseye is missing outside of the

laundry room Woody and Buzz find one of

his stirups and as they progress into

the bathroom they're ambushed by

Grandma's cat perrywinkle who chases all

the toys into the dining room Woody

tries to ride him and is very quickly

thrown off but buzz and Jack manage to

subdue their feline foe as everybody

reconvenes Rex notices that Slinky is

also gone they eventually decide to

return to Andy's room where it's safe

Woody wants to leave Jack and gladiola

in the hallway but Buzz protests this

since Jack just saved his life as he and

Buzz argue Woody accidentally hits and's

door knock it shut locking them all in

the hallway later Rex wonders why

somebody would want to take them out and

gladiola reveals that she overheard

Grandma talking to Andy's mom telling

her that there's not going to be space

for all of the toys in Andy's new room

he's only keeping two maybe it has to do

with that everybody is shocked by this

Revelation but she thought they already

knew just then Grandma comes down the

hall holding a bundled handkerchief Buzz

and Woody speculate that maybe grandma

was supposed to get rid of the toys

before Andy got home and that Bullseye

and Slinky might be in her bundle Woody

Buzz and Jack follow Grandma out to her

garden buzz and Jack continue their

Bromance that's been building through

the night leaving Woody dejected before

eventually getting separated from this

new Duo Buzz splits off from Jack trying

to find Woody they eventually startle

each other causing Woody to reflexively

smack Buzz with a stick Jack appears out

of nowhere and strings Woody up with his

yo-yo and retaliation but Buzz de

escalates the situation they come to

find Grandma on a hot date inside the

greenhouse with her Gardener Victor and

it's revealed that inside of her

handkerchief bundle was Banana's flambe

they are swiftly yanked Away by Angus a

garden gome who is very fond of Victor

who calls them peeping Toms seeing Jack

he stops a beat remarking that he saw

when Grandma made him but before anybody

could dwell on that gladiola Runs Out

telling them that Jesse is also missing

she went inside of a cupboard which

turned out to lead to a dumb waiter and

never returned the gang rides the

mechanism up to the dark addict and

eventually finds Jesse's hat alongside

Scrabble tiles spelling out an ominous

message as they return downstairs Buzz

and Woody realize since grandma is

occupied and Andy is sleeping the foul

play is coming from within their group

paranoia sets in everybody turns on each

other and Woody blames Jack telling him

that every time someone goes missing

he's always unaccounted for and Jack

tells Woody that the same can be said

for him but Woody fires back that he has

no motive if Andy was going to keep any

two toys it's him and Buzz at this point

Buzz decides that everybody needs to

stay together in this room until the

morning that way nothing could happen to

anybody eventually Potato Head gets up

to leave for Grandma's library for a

book to pass the time telling them that

if he's the per he'll be gone and if

somebody else is the per and they're all

together he'll be safe but Jack is

uncharacteristically very worried Potato

Head scans the bookshelf and comes to a

shocking sight he pulls a book and

begins to read just then the power

briefly goes out as it returns Jack

calls the buzz from the hallway and

Woody goes to find Potato Head ham Rex

and gladiola remain in the room

unbearably tense but Rex tries to

reassure the other

as long as they stay together they'll be

safe but in the time it took Rex to say

that ham has also disappeared gladiola

runs out of the room cowering as does

Rex but once he hits the hallway he is

also snatched Woody finds potato head's

mustach as Buzz enters they see the same

cryptic Scrabble message alongside an

incomplete message from Potato Head

Written In Dust trying to warn them

who's doing this gladiola bursts in and

tells them that ham and Rexx are gone

Jack follows behind her leaving Woody

even more suspicious noticing a nearby

open heating duck that leads to the

furnace Jack tells them that if Potato

Head was taken there he's toast but this

does remind him of an adventure he had

on the edge of a volcano as he talks

Woody notices potato head's book picks

it up and finishes Jack's story for him

as he talks before revealing the cover a

safari of fear a jack Challenger

Adventure on the bookshelf there's a

whole series of Jack Challenger books

detailing his adventures in Egypt and

Shanghai and the North Pole just to name

a few gladiola is shocked his real name

is HEI one Christmas Eve a year after

gladiola was made Grandma decided to try

making another sock monkey for Andy the

same year she was set to give him Woody

she set him down on the wrapping table

next to Woody who knocks a tub of glue

onto him covering his head after an

attempt by Grandma to wash it off draw

him outside in a December storm and a

quick trip to the microwave he he never

got to Andy but watched Woody do just

that and was put in the closet with

gladiola and couldn't bear to admit that

he was unwanted just like her so he made

it all up Woody pins the murders on HEI

but he tells Woody that he's no murderer

just a fraud he apologizes to gladiola

and leaves with her rushing after him

Buzz thinks Woody should apologize to

HEI because even if he isn't Jack

Challenger he did save Buzz's life and

he refuses to believe that he's a

murderer Woody agitated tells him to go

be with his new best friend Woody now

all alone begins to collect the Scrabble

tiles on the floor so he can frame HEI

gladiola looks for HEI and eventually

finds herself alone in the basement

Woody hears a scream and rushes to the

basement to find a pile of gladiola

colored yarn he picks up the yarn and

Mourns her just then buzz and HEI appear

at the top of the stairs shocked at what

they see enraged HEI attacks Woody they

fight all through the house culminating

in them spilling into the heating duct

as he he throws his Yo-Yo at Woody he

catches and Yanks it sending the monkey

tumbling into the furnace Buzz saw all

of it and deduces that Woody is the

killer as Woody explains how this was an

accident he didn't mean to kill he the

Scrabble tiles fall out of his pants

Buzz questions if Woody's going to kill

him too before lunging at him and they

fight through the house and eventually

wind up on the roof climaxing and Buzz

hanging from the gutter Woody reaches

out and tells him he'd never do anything

to hurt his best friend and deep down

Buzz knows Woody is no murderer they

reconcile but Woody slips on the wet

roof and they fall off and as they

recover Buzz tells Woody that he

shouldn't have let he he pull the wool

over his eyes which gives Woody pause

gladiola said she was made of wool but

the yarn in the basement felt acrylic

just then the duo is captured and

gladiola emerges revealing that she was

behind it all because she loved HEI and

that he'll always be Jack Challenger to

her she couldn't bear to tell him her

feelings but never had to share him with

anybody until the gang came along today

she totally made up the story about Andy

only keeping two toys to have them turn

on each other because when it comes to

her and her love no one will replace her

as his favorite but now that Woody got

rid of him she's very angry with the

garbage truck just down the block she

disposes of Woody and Buzz in a garbage

can at the curb inside is everybody else

tied up with yarn Jesse manages to get

free and untie everybody but they're too

late they're thrown into the truck and

wind up getting swept into its trash

compactor meanwhile HEI managed to

survive the furnace narrowly escaping to

find gladiola who remorsefully tells him

that she did something very bad as the

compactor walls close in HEI scales the

moving truck gets to the roof and

manages to save his new friends Potato

Head falls back inside but manages to

hit a lever on the way down that opens

the back of the truck they manage to

escape on a Pizza Planet box but as they

skip out onto the pavement wood he

notices that HEI was snagged on trash in

in the truck and didn't make it out so

he lassos onto a nearby farm truck which

pulls the Box alongside the garbage

truck allowing HEI to escape the truck

and reunite with his new friends the

gang makes their way back to Grandma's

house where gladiola apologizes she was

jealous and what she did was wrong she

tells HEI to go with the gang because

she deserves to be alone HEI admits that

he's loved gladiola this entire time but

was afraid that she'd see through his

lies they Embrace and walk off back to

the closet together Andy returns home

telling his mom how cool Grandma's house

was her ghost stories her sock monkey

toys and she even told him that

sometimes at night she sees the monkeys

walking around and mom shakes her head

that's grandma crazy as ever Andy enters

his new room a struck on the wall there

are new shelves for all his toys Andy

leaves the toys reunite and Buzz tells

Woody that from now on it's the two of

them best buds Woody agrees just not

right now he was going to spend some

time with B PE as Woody and Bo walk off

Buzz notices that some of his equipment

is gone Jesse holds it behind her back

flirtatiously asking buzz if he's going

to question her Buzz is flustered his

visor steams up and as he fumbles with

it he and Jesse tumble off the bed as

they land on the floor Jesse leans in

and they share a tender smooch maybe

Andy's new room isn't so bad after

all I really dig the Stein calar draft

which I think overall is a tight story

that really understands the core Toy

Story characters while this draft does

feel a bit grander in scope with some

cute moments that definitely would have

been fun to see on the big screen in my

opinion this draft doesn't quite come

together in the same way but Disney did

now have a script in place and the

studio ready to make it so that raises

the question why did it get canned

by the time news of circle 7 had become

public in March of 2005 so did the news

of their Toy Story 3 which would feature

Buzz Lightyear being recalled to Taiwan

and the toys shipping off to rescue him

written by Jim herfeld clearly there was

a change in Direction the who done it

draft is dated December 8th of 2004 and

as originally reported on this show in

early 2005 hersfeld wrote a separate

draft of Toy Story 3 for Circle 7 that

featured Andy's mom getting remarried

and the Gang becoming part of a blended

family before he was ultimately brought

on to do the recall draft which means

that the window between the who done it

draft's completion and circle 7 moving

in a different direction had to happen

relatively quickly however despite this

move there were rumors that Disney still

liked the script and had it in

consideration to be Toy Story 4 if they

ever decided to make it but with circle

7 ultimately folding in 2006 we can

never know for sure had Sherry and

Bill's version been released as an

animated side project 2D or 3D I think

it would have been a fun adventure in

the spirit of Toy Story of Terror or

That Time Forgot as for the Rewritten

final draft I would be more dubious

especially pitched as Toy Story 3 so

with that being said I think it's

ultimately for the best that the final

version of the who done it draft was

never made but that's the story of the

who done it version of Toy Story 3 and

the end of yet another episode of can

Goods I'd like to thank Sher and

billstein ker for taking time out of

their schedules to sit down and discuss

their time working on Toy Story their

insight and generosity was what made

this video possible so again thank you

so much but until next time thank you so

much for watching be good to each other

and stay hemus
