Toy Story 2 [DVD]

Product Information

Still in Production, while the Toy Story 10th Anniversary DVD lost all of the early animation tests from the movie's section of the Ultimate Toy Box, "Early Animation Tests" (3:00) here preserves some of Woody's tests from the original's section as well as interesting sequel trials with Bullseye, Jessie, Al, and Zurg, each accompanied by insightful but uncredited audio commentary by late supervising animator Glenn McQueen. In "Special Effects" (1:38), associate technical director Oren Jacob explains the kind of work he and others did on the explosive Buzz/robots showdown from the beginning of Toy Story 2. Lastly, "International Scene" (1:45) offers an alternate version of a shot from Toy Story 2, in which Buzz's patriotic speech is punctuated not by the American flag, but by a spinning globe, fireworks, and a different piece of score from Randy Newman. As Lasseter and Unkrich explain in the introduction, they wanted to make the moment less distinctly American for viewers from other nations. a b Nissen, Dano (July 3, 2019).

Pixar showed the completed film at CalArts on November 12, 1999, in recognition of the school's ties with Lasseter and more than 40 other alumni who worked on the film. The students were captivated. [31] The film held its official premiere the next day at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles — the same venue as Toy Story — and was released across the United States on November 24, 1999. [1] [38] The film's initial theatrical and video releases include Luxo Jr., Pixar's first short film released in 1986, starring Pixar's titular mascot. [39] Before Luxo Jr., a disclaimer appears reading: "In 1986 Pixar Animation Studios produced their first film. This is why we have a hopping lamp in our logo". [39] On December 25, 1999, within a month of the film's theatrical release, a blooper reel was added to the film's mid-credits, [40] [41] which features the characters, Flik and Heimlich, from A Bug's Life.Disney initially envisioned Toy Story 2 as a direct-to-video sequel. The film began production in a building separated from Pixar, on a small scale, as most of the main Pixar staff were busy working on A Bug's Life (1998). When story reels proved promising, Disney upgraded the film to a theatrical release, but Pixar was unhappy with the film's quality. Lasseter and the story team redeveloped the entire plot in one weekend. Although most Pixar features take years to develop, the established release date could not be moved and the production schedule for Toy Story 2 was compressed into nine months.
