      @DazzReviews Are you sure this wasn't the original Toy Story 2 idea before John Lasseter joined Disney and scrapped the project, rather than Toy Story 3... I'm pretty sure I remember all the talk about this project in the day and it was a TS2 project xx

    The concept of a toy talking to a human I am surprised hasn't happened in a movie already, I mean, we got them scaring Sid in the first movie, but a full on conversation? I wonder if that'll ever happen. It's always been a sacred rule that they can never reveal themselves or talk or communicate, but it seems like an obvious twist that one day, they will.

Then Woody adds: "Oh, What Harm could it have done Buzz? We Just Screwed him up for the Rest of his Life, That's all." And Then we Hear Sid still Screaming: "No! No! No! Aah! No! I'm Sorry! I'm Sorry! No! No! I'll Never Hurt you Again! No! No! Mom!" While the Mutant Toys are Waving at Buzz and Woody and they wave Back. Then the Mutants Pull the Window shade down and Woody and Buzz share Satisfied Looks.

    I like the concept of Buzz malfunctioning; while it is similar to Woody's broken arm, I feel like it would be able to tackle different issues, mainly while Woody is a rare collector's item, there are plenty of other Buzz's, and I think it could lead to Buzz questioning how easily he could be replaced, wondering if Andy would even notice if he did replaced with another Buzz.
    I think the scene with the toymaker would have worked better if the letter didn't burn, and when he enters the room and the toys plop down, he just talks to them like they're alive, spot the letter before reading it and asking them if they wrote it, with an inflection that could hint that he's joking, but also imply that he is aware that they are alive. Then upon reading the note, he gets completely serious and rushes out to put a stop to the destruction of the toys. Basically, if it heavily implies that he knows, but never confirms, I think that would be better.

Too scared to show any guns? Disney literally showed them in both Beauty and the Beast and Pocahontas. Heck, Mulan shows a battle scene with rockets. Nowadays, a Disney "battle scene" usually ends in seconds and almost nobody dies except sometimes the main villain. 75% of the time, it's revealed to have been all a misunderstanding and everyone's soon friends again.

    I really like the idea of Toy Makers knowing that Toys are alive, like maybe they're the reason why Toys go limp when a human is around because they were told to do so by their makers. Toys don't go limp when another living creature sees them, only when a human is directly looking at them. That is extremely specific for some kind of natural instinct & and an unspoken rule that all Toys follow.
    But if they were told to do so by their maker then it would make more sense, and this could also be where the backstories come from. Then mass-produced Toys are copies of the original one made by a Toy Maker, having the same memories & skills until they finally start being played with/interacting with things.
    With Toy Story 5 being announced, maybe they'll cover this idea or something similar. At the moment it seems like a pointless cashgrab but only because we have no information about the new movie. Toy Story 4 was made because the team had new ideas they wanted to tell in the TS universe...some were told badly but it wasn't a lazy retrend of the other movies. TS5 may have some interesting ideas, and going more in-depth in the human-toy relationship would be good.

    Goodness! This is such a strange yet intriguing concept! It's also kinda dark what with the smasher, and the malfunctioning toys having some unsettling issues for being recalled.
    I also love the idea of someone knowing the toys are alive. I think the Toy Story movies changed how I saw toys. It's caused me to feel more attached to my toys, but it's also made me reluctant to give them away to other people, because I think they won't love them the same way as I have.
    I sometimes imagine them in Toy Story like scenarios in my head. I imagine them discussing stuff about me when no one is around, and I also imagine them going to see my Christmas and Birthday presents that have been put away before the day arrives.
    Yeah, maybe it's strange, but I think it's helped me make some good choices with toys, and helped me figure out the best thing to do with them, and that's to love them. I reckon a toy can only really be happy when it's loved by someone.

    This is now one of my favorite RUclips videos, full stop. I feel like Pixar should revisit this concept and make a spinoff film of the original Toy Story series, with Buzz as the main character. Sure, the "toy-gets-lost-and-has-to-be-rescued" trope is common in a movie like Toy Story, but if they did it right, an international Toy Story film, with the toys going overseas to find Buzz, could actually be really good.
    The plot of this one, minus the racist interaction with the Taiwanese toys, the paper dolls bit and Cindy Scissors, could really work. Some of the elements might have to be rewritten, like the archive room, but it could easily be done. Perhaps instead of Taiwan, the movie is set in Tokyo, Japan, to tie it back to the thread from TS2 where Stinky Pete mentions the toy museum there. The recall/reject toys sound really cool, especially Jade with the blade in her leg. The line with "To infinity and be-yotch" is hilarious and I would love to have that tossed in a movie. The conveyor-belt fight with Dax would be epic, but it would be more epic if they had to avoid the people on the factory floor. I also love the idea of Mr. Kagoi discovering the toys' existence, also tying things back to Sid's discovery in the first movie. And the comedy they can do with references to knockoff toys, language barriers, toys with accidental features, and so on... I need to get my hands on this script. There's just so much possibility...
    I honestly believe that if Pixar ever returns to the Toy Story universe for the big screen, it has to be some sort of spinoff series that focuses on the remaining gang, possibly with Forky filling the Woody role (since this would likely be post-TS4). How they'd do Mr. Potato Head's voice is beyond me, unless they figure out how to use unused voice lines (like JJ Abrams did in The Rise of Skywalker with Leia). And with this plot of Buzz nearly dying and this international intrigue and this kind-hearted executive who understands the toys... it's perfect for a Pixar film, either as the beginning of some new adventures with Buzz as the main character, or as the Avengers: Endgame of Toy Story, with characters from all the movies, specials and shorts coming back for a big final battle. OK, maybe not that last one, but that's still a solid idea.

    Wow, learned some new things about this! As weird as this would have been I wish we would have gotten it. As long as we somehow still got the real Toy Story 3 as well. One thing I feel the need to mention is that we have seen a couple of Pez dispensers before. Ducky, one of Sids toys was one with added parts and there was also a normal one in Toy Story of Terror. Interesting that Tom Hanks wasn’t going to do this as there’s actual test animation from Circle 7 that used an audio clip from the baseball movie he was in. Also, I remember back around 2005 or sometime around then reading about a cancelled Toy Story 3 (which was this) and I don’t remember what all it said but in it it said “To infinity and be-yotch!” I have to assume it referring to the line in the script? I was young enough at the time to have not realized that was basically swearing and I was reading the article to my sister and she was like “That was a swear word, you just swore” and it was quiet and awkward. I hope I still have that somewhere but I kind of doubt it.

    Honestly sounds better than the real TS3. By the way, how the fuck would they sell this movie in mainland China with all the Taiwanese stuff?

    Ah yes, Toy Story. A perfect trilogy, until Toy Story 4 came along. Toy Story 4 was just a large cash grab, like most Disney movies now.

    Since when did Buzz’s hand become a projectile?
    Edit: nevermind, turns out it was supposedly because of his karate action from the original Toy Story!

    This is actually kind of nostalgic for me because I remember reading the Wikipedia article for Toy Story 3 back in 2009 or so and seeing this exact storyline.

    I just have to say, that recalled toy image is the dumbest thing i've ever seen.
    Imagine that you work retail and you're informed you have to individually label all the the recalled toys as recalled, but leave them on the shelf (???)
    That doesn't make any sense.
    If they were recalled, they'd move them all to a back room and box them up to be shipped back so nobody tries to buy them, or worse, shoplift them out of desperation, because they'd become a hot ticket collectors item.

    I wouldn't mind actually seeing this version. There's some parts in this that sound genuinely interesting like the giant toy battle, recalled toys and the creator talking to toys. We only ever see any toys actually talk to one person which was Sid in the first movie. Having the reverse and having someone who genuinely cares about toys talk to them would of been a nice twist.

    Toy Story 3 came out during the same year I graduated high school, so I thought that it was the perfect ending to the series... Until the 4th one came out. I got kind of emotional because it was like I grew up with Andy in a way. It also convinced me to donate my toys to children, only leaving the toys that have sentimental value for me. (And a bunch of imported stuffed animals I got from conventions that I impulse bought.)

    I loved Toy Story 1 and 2. 2 ended on a great message of making the most of the time you have with those you care about. They're still my favorite Pixar movies. 3 had a good ending, but I would have preferred if the toys had gone to the attic and then Andy would have given them to his kids years later. 4 didn't need to be made.

    Why was Toy Story 4 even made? I recall something about John Ratburger, after getting supposedly "fired" for something sexy and he pitched the idea for that _cash-grab._ That pervert literally begged Pixar to make yet ANOTHER Disney sequel nobody asked for that swindled DreamWorks' last chance to win an Oscar for HTTYD.
