Toy Story
- Toy Story was orignally called ‘You Are a Toy’
- The Pizza Planet delivery truck, which appears in every Pixar film except The Incredibles, also appeared in all three Toy Story films
- In their most productive state, Pixar can complete 3.5 minutes of animation a week
- Jim Carey was originally casted to voice Buzz Lightyear but Pixar could not afford his fees
- Pixar had 300 computers rendering frames 24 hours a day
- When an animator is done with a shot (he/she has watched it an average of 3,000 times!), John Lasseter tells them to go pick out a toy as a reward. The number of toys on an animator’s desk demonstrates his prowess.
- Buzz Lightyear was first named Lunar Larry
- Mattel didn’t want Barbie to be in the movie, thinking it was going to be a flop
- The voice of the little green aliens were made with the use of helium gas
- The number 95 is seen throughout the movies, referring to the year 1995 when the film was first released
- In Andy’s room, some books were names of Pixar’s short films or Pixar staff

- Andy’s car reads A111 on the front and A113 on the back
- The entire animation crew shaved their heads prior to working on Toy Story 3
- Andy didn’t have a dad in Toy Story because humans were to expensive to animate
