History Trivia / ToyStory3

* TheCharacterDiedWithHim: [[Creator/PixarRegulars Joe Ranft]], who voiced Wheezy the Penguin and Lenny the Binoculars among several other toys in Andy's room, was killed in a car accident in 2005. In the film, it is suggested that the toys that he voiced were sold.
* CharacterOutlivesActor: [[Film/ErnestPWorrell Hey Vern]]!! Slinky Dog was voiced by another actor long after [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Varney my]] death, [[CatchPhrase knowhutimean]]??

** Slinky Dog, who was voiced by the late Jim "Ernest" Varney in the first two films, is voiced by Blake Clark (a friend of his) in ''Toy Story 3'' due to Varney dying of lung cancer three months after ''Toy Story 2'' was released. Blake Clark also was in ''Series/HomeImprovement'' as Harry, with Tim Allen, who voices Buzz.

* DoingItForTheArt: Pixar actually reached out to the ''original'' voice actors for Andy (John Morris) and Sid (Erik von Detten), both of whom were retired from acting at this point, and got them to reprise the roles as adults.

** In the Latin Spanish dub, Creator/CarlosSegundo does not reprise his role due to the financial disagreement with Disney Character Voices International. Thus, the role has been recast with Creator/ArturoMercadoJr.

* CrossRegionalVoiceActing: The Latin American Spanish dub was dubbed in Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Venezuela, and the United States (specifically Miami, Florida). Nearly all of the original Mexican cast reprised their roles since the previous films were dubbed in Mexico, while Venezuelan Erika de la Vega voiced Dolly, Chilean Cristián de la Fuente voiced Buttercup, Argentinian Mike Amigorena voiced Ken and Colombian-born Danna García voiced Barbie. García also recorded some of her lines in Miami.

* RealLifeRelative: In the Latin American Spanish dub, Arturo Mercado (Hamm's voice) and Arturo Mercado Jr. ([[TheOtherDarrin replacing]] Creator/CarlosSegundo as the voice of Woody) are father and son.

** Due to Pixar not renewing its seven-film distribution deal with Disney in 2004 that would also give the latter full rights to its properties and sequel production, ''Script/ToyStory3'' was intended to be produced by a newly established studio called Circle 7 Animation, along with sequels to ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'' and ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo''. It was to have a [[https://lostmediawiki.com/Disney_Circle_7_Animation_(partially_lost_production_material_of_cancelled_direct-to-video_sequels;_2004-2006) very different plot]] involving Buzz getting shipped back to the Wocka-Wocka Toy Co. in Taiwan as part of a worldwide recall, and Woody, Jessie, Bullseye, Hamm, Rex, Slinky, and Mr. Potato Head going there to rescue him. Meanwhile, Buzz would have befriended a pair of misfits: Cozy-Rosey, a ragdoll who was designed to keep children warm but kept catching on fire and Jade, a {{Franchise/Barbie}}-esque doll whose knee folded into a sharp metal point. The three would have come into conflict with Buzz's replacement, a {{Franchise/Transformers}}-esque toy called Daxx Blastar, and would have later met Old Man Kagoy, the CEO of the factory (who turns out to know the toys are alive). With the deal falling through in January 2006, and then-CEO Michael Eisner, who Pixar seriously disdained, getting ousted and being succeeded by Bob Iger, Disney would purchase Pixar and give creative control back to them, providing a more potentially praised sequel than the original version, along with ''WesternAnimation/MonstersUniversity'' and ''WesternAnimation/FindingDory''. Circle 7 would be shut down two months later, with most of the animators going to either the feature animation department or [=DisneyToon=] Studios.
*** Interestingly, several elements in this scrapped version were expanded upon in the final film. Namely, Woody and the gang being mistreated at a daycare, toys breaking out of a "prison" consisting of holding baskets that act like cages, and Buzz getting amnesia.
*** An earlier concept for Circle 7's version of the movie, which made it to at least the scripting stage, would have seen Woody, Buzz, Jessie, Slinky, Rex, Hamm, Mr. Potato Head and Bullseye staying over Andy's grandmother's house while Andy's room was being remodeled. The creepy appearance of the house reminds Rex of a horror movie, and insists the group stays together. The toys would meet a pair of sock monkeys who live at the house: an adventure-hero stock character named Jack Challenger, and the geeky Gladiola. Buzz would befriend Jack, while Woody seems to find him familiar. [[DwindlingParty Andy's toys would soon be picked off one by one]], and they assume they are being murdered, not helped by a second-hand account of Andy's mom claiming only two toys would return to Andy's house. When the remaining toys were down to just Woody and Buzz, Woody discovers Jack's entire character was stolen from a series of books about an adventurer named Jack Challenger. The sock monkey admits that his real name was Hee-Hee, and he was originally meant to be a Christmas gift for Andy alongside Woody, but Woody knocked a tube of glue onto Hee-Hee's head, and Andy's grandma was unable to fix him up in time. Woody, assuming Hee-Hee was behind the murders, attempts to plant evidence on him, only to accidentally knock him into the furnace. Buzz fights Woody over Hee-Hee's apparent death, but soon rekindle their friendship. Gladiola then reveals that she was the one behind everything, seeing Andy's toys as competition for her friendship with Hee-Hee (whom she secretly loved). She sends Woody and Buzz into the garbage can where Andy's other toys are. Then it turns out Hee-Hee didn't die after all, and he saves the toys from going to the landfill. Hee-Hee and Gladiola confess their love for each other, and Andy's toys return to Andy's remodeled room.

* RecycledScript: The film's plot would have been a retread of ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'', in that it involves a main character being transported to a new location against their will and the other characters going there to rescue them. The main differences are that Buzz is the one in distress and Woody the one leading the rescue team.

* LifeImitatesArt: Inverted for Totoro, since [[Creator/StudioGhibli Hayao Miyazaki]] and [[Creator/PixarRegulars John Lasseter]] are really, really good friends after all.

* CelebrityVoiceActor: In the Norwegian dub, Barbie is voiced by Lene Nystrøm, who is the lead vocalist of the band ''Music/{{Aqua}}''. Who is most know for the hit song "Barbie girl", where she is the main singer in it.

* AuthorExistenceFailure: [[Creator/PixarRegulars Joe Ranft]], who voiced Wheezy the Penguin and Lenny the Binoculars among several other toys in Andy's room, was killed in a car accident in 2005. In the film, it is suggested that [[TheCharacterDiedWithHim the toys that he voiced were sold]].

* TheOtherDarrin: Had the film gone into production, Creator/TomHanks and Creator/JohnRatzenberger wouldn't have reprised their roles as Woody and Hamm - the latter has gone on record as saying he wouldn't do a sequel without {{Creator/Pixar}}'s involvement.
