as an aside

, I think that was PIXAR's success with the sequel to Toy Story(a monstrously successful movie in it's own right) , was that they took the same approach as a video game company would which is to save unused ideas for use later and to keep improving the product.

From what i've been able to glean from listening to commentary tracks, most of the characters, situations, gags, etc. were things planned for the original Toy Story movie but were cut for various reasons. Mostly time. One thing that always amazes me about Toy Story is how fast it moves. snap snap snap It's a short movie, but you feel like you've been a lot of places.

I've seen it a lot lately. My kid loves it so... i've seen it a lot. it's good, it really holds up.
