Short description

Led by Woody, Andy's toys live happily in his room until Andy's birthday brings Buzz Lightyear onto the scene. Afraid of losing his place in Andy's heart, Woody plots against Buzz. But when circumstances separate Buzz and Woody from their owner, the duo eventually learns to put aside their differences.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The van used to transport Andy's toys was called "EGGMAN"; this is also the name of the main villain from the Sonic the Hedgehog game series.
  • When Woody is announcing Andy’s birthday on the microphone, books with titles from early Pixar shorts are visible behind him. Among them: “The Adventures of André & Wally Bee” (1984); “Luxo Jr.” (1986); “Knick Knack” (1989); “Red’s Dream” (1987).
  • The filmmakers admitted that they were inspired by the chase scene from 'Wallace & Gromit 2: The Wrong Trousers' (1993) when creating the scene of the chase after the van.
  • If you look closely at the video, you can make the following observation: the characters in the picture blink periodically, but never do so simultaneously.
  • The character Andy got his name in honor of Professor Andries 'Andy' Van Dam. Many of the film's creators studied in his courses on computer science and computer graphics.
  • A 'Dinoco' gas station appears in the cartoon. In the movie 'Cars' (2006), Dinoco is one of the leading racing companies.
  • The number A113 appears in every Pixar film; it corresponds to the number of the classroom where John Lasseter, Brad Bird, Pete Docter, and Andrew Stanton studied at CalArts. In 'Toy Story,' A113 is the driver's license number on the windshield of Andy's mother's minivan.
  • In the scene where Molly is riding in the front seat of the car, the music playing is the same as the theme from the animated series 'Timon & Pumbaa' (1995-1998).
  • In other, non-English language versions of the cartoon, the characters' mouths move in accordance with the voice and intonation of the voice actor. In addition, all inscriptions appearing on the screen were also adapted for each of the countries where the cartoon was released.
  • Distributions of the Debian GNU/Linux operating system are named after the main characters of the cartoon.
  • When Woody speaks into the microphone about Andy's birthday, there are books behind him with titles from early Pixar shorts. Among them are: 'The Adventures of André & Wally B.' (1984); 'The Circus Star' (1987); 'The Tin Toy' (1988); and 'Knick Knack' (1989).
  • Processing each frame took from 4 to 13 hours.
  • Processing each frame required between 4 and 13 hours.
  • In other, non-English versions of the animated film, the characters' mouths move according to the voice and intonations of the dubbing actor. Additionally, all on-screen text was adapted for each of the countries where the film was released.
  • There is a globe in Andy's room. If you look closely, you can notice (especially when the globe almost crushes Buzz), that it depicts a map not of Russia, but of the USSR.
  • When Buzz proves that he can fly, a ball from the short film 'Luxo Jr.' (1986) is visible during the fall.
  • If you look closely at the footage, you can make the following observation: the characters in the film blink periodically, but never at the same time.
  • When Buzz proves he can fly, a ball from the short film “Luxo Jr.” (1986) can be seen during his fall.
  • The cartoon was released in an unusual format of 1.78:1 (the traditional format is 1.85:1).
  • The gas station 'Dinoco' appears in the cartoon. In 'Cars' (2006), Dinoco is one of the leading racing companies.
  • To get into Hannah's room, Woody hides in a string of Christmas lights. When he and Buzz emerge from it, the lights are gone, and in the next shot, they are back in their original place.
  • The filmmakers admitted that they were inspired to create the van chase scene by the train chase scene from the animated film 'Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers' (1993).
  • The number A113 appears in every Pixar film; it corresponds to the classroom number where John Lasseter, Brad Bird, Pete Docter, and Andrew Stanton studied at CalArts. In 'Toy Story,' A113 is the driver's license number on the window of Andy's mother's minivan.
  • In the episode where Molly is riding in the front seat of the car, the same music plays as from the opening credits of the animated series “Timon & Pumbaa” (1995-1998).
  • The name of one of the main characters of the cartoon – Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear – coincides with the name of the famous American astronaut Buzz Aldrin.
