Toy Story Turns 23 Today! Our Top 23 Toy Story Facts You Might Not Know...
It's time to feel officially old peeps! Can you believe that animation classic Toy Story first hit our screens a whopping 23 years ago today?! Scary to think huh.
It's safe to say that we've been deeply in love with Pixar films since and of course all the Toy Story films which is why we're sooo excited to get to watchToy Story 4 on the 21st June!
To really drum up some excitement for this new release, the addition of some amazing Toy Story merchandise onto the site and really celebrate 23 years of Toy Story, we thought we would dig up and put together some of our favourite Toy Story facts which you just might not have heard. Enjoy!
1. It wasn't all Go Go Go - An early draft shown to Disney was instantly rejected as the script depicted Woddy to be super-sarcastic and mean to the other toys. They halted production until a new script was done.
2. Back for more! Toy Story 2 was the first sequel both Tom Hanks and Tim Allen had done.
3. Pizza Planet was originally going to be called Pizza Putt, a weird combo or a pizzeria and mini-golf. Sign us up!
