Line #12 Trivia/ToyStory3


1	* ActingInTheDark: According to Emily Hahn in an Instagram reel, she only received her lines to record, so she didn't know Andy was giving Bonnie the toys until she saw the movie.
2	* BTeamSequel: Creator/JohnLasseter was still involved with the film, but he chose to direct ''WesternAnimation/Cars2'', so Lee Unkrich, who edited the previous films and co-directed ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'', took over.
3	* CelebrityVoiceActor: In the Norwegian dub, Barbie is voiced by Lene Nystrøm, the lead vocalist of the band Music/{{Aqua}}, fittingly known most for "Barbie Girl".
4	* CharacterOutlivesActor: [[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.
5	* ChildrenVoicingChildren: The Peas in a Pod are voiced by actual children in the original release and most foreign dubs.
6	* 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 City, 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.
7	* {{Defictionalization}}: Cross-movie-medium variation: the ''VideoGame/ToyStory3'' tie-in game features a level based on the ''Buzz Lightyear'' video game from ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'', making it the closest thing to a real-life release the game has.
8	* DescendedCreator: The jack-in-the-box that cries out, "New toys!" was voiced by director Lee Unkrich.
9	* LifeImitatesArt: Inverted for Totoro, since [[Creator/StudioGhibli Hayao Miyazaki]] and Creator/JohnLasseter are really, really good friends after all.
10	* MissingTrailerScene: Compared to the Oct. 2009 trailer, a few lines were re-spoken in the final film, and Spanish Buzz doesn't spin around and jump immediately after pressing a button to make his voice box say a line. A few shots were done in different angles as well.
11	* MultipleLanguagesSameVoiceActor: Javier Fernández-Peña's performance of Spanish Buzz remains unchanged in most foreign releases, although both the Latin American and European Spanish dubs replace him with a local voice actor.
12	* TheOtherDarrin:
13	** Slinky Dog, who was voiced by the late [[Creator/JimVarney 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.
14	** While most of the cast reprised their roles for the tie-in game, Buzz and Woody are voiced by Mike [=MacRae=] and Creator/JimHanks, respectively, replacing Creator/TimAllen and Creator/TomHanks. ''Toy Story 2'' characters Stinky Pete and Wheezy are also voiced by Creator/StephenStanton (replacing Creator/KelseyGrammer) and Creator/PhilLamarr (replacing the late Creator/JoeRanft) respectively.
15	** Jessie's yodeling is now done by her normal voice actress, Joan Cusack, after Creator/MaryKayBergman committed suicide a few weeks before the second film was released; she was given a PosthumousCredit for her work.
16	** Due to Hannah Unkrich aging out of the role, Molly Davis is voiced by Bea Miller.
17	** In the Latin Spanish dub, Creator/CarlosSegundo does not reprise his role as Woody due to his financial disagreement with Disney Character Voices International. Thus, Creator/ArturoMercadoJr took over as the character's permanent voice actor.
18	** Neither Raúl Castellanos nor Uraz Huerta reprised Andy as a teenager in this film, as Raúl had retired while Uraz was unable to be contacted. Because of this, Memo Aponte Jr. was the one to voice Andy. Also, due to them hitting puberty, José Antonio Toledano voiced him in the beginning while he was still a kid.
19	** The Swedish dub is a mix of both new and returning voices, but the most notable difference is Jan Mybrand voicing Woody instead of Björn Skifs.
20	** In the Japanese dub, the late Kazunaga Tsuji replaced Akira Nagoya as Mr. Potato Head due to the latter dying of pneumonia in 2003 and Yoneko Matsukane took over for Toshie Kusunoki as Mrs. Potato Head.
21	** The Brazilian Portuguese dub had both Slinky and Hamm changing voices, as both dubbers had left the business (they have since returned).
22	* RealLifeRelative: In the Latin American Spanish dub, Creator/ArturoMercado (Hamm's voice) and Creator/ArturoMercadoJr ([[TheOtherDarrin replacing]] Creator/CarlosSegundo as Woody's voice) are father and son.
23	* RecycledScript: The overall plot and quite a few details carry an uncanny similarity to ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2''. The story centers around the same idea that toys ultimately don't last forever. Much like how the story in ''2'' was kicked off by Woody getting mistaken for an unwanted toy, the story here is kicked off by everyone, ''except'' Woody, getting mistaken for unwanted toys. Again, like it happened to Woody in ''2'', the toys end up in a seemingly idyllic place that holds promises of them being loved for generations and getting repairs when needed. When it comes to the antagonist, [[spoiler:there is Lotso, a chubby and seemingly friendly toy with a deep voice who use a cane and is later revealed to be evil, having been traumatized by feeling unloved and unwanted, resulting in him taking his anger out on others, much like Stinky Pete]]. There is even a sequence where the toys have to deal with a delusional, factory-setting Buzz Lightyear.
24	* TheRedStapler: Its pretty safe to say, without going into spoilers that this movie made people much more aware of the existence of the Jolly Chimp toy. Yeah, it's pretty much NightmareFuel in and out of universe but, people wanted it ''because'' it was so unnerving!
25	* RefittedForSequel: Lotso is a character who was conceptualized since the early drafts of the first movie, only now making his debut. His personality, motives, and relations with other toys also mirror the "jerkass Woody" in the infamous "Black Friday" script of the first movie, up to and including abusing his top henchman (Big Baby here, Slinky Dog in the former) until he snaps and throws him in the trash / out Andy's window. Not coincidentally, a pink stuffed bear appears in the staff meeting scene of the original film, presumably what technology could make at the time.
26	* RoleReprise:
27	** Aside from Jim Varney, who died before production began, all of the original actors return to reprise their roles. Special mention goes to John Morris returning as Andy, since ''Toy Story 2'' was actually his last film and he hadn't acted in the 11 years between. Erik Von Detten also returned for a cameo as Sid ([[FreezeFrameBonus look closely at the]] rock-riff humming garbage man's T-shirt and you'll realize it's him.)
28	** Most of the film's voice actors also reprise their roles for the tie-in video game.
29	** When it came to the Latin dub, Carlos del Campo still voiced Slinky in this film and the rest of the franchise, despite the recast of the late Jim Varney.
30	* SpoiledByTheMerchandise: For the most part, Pixar was able to keep spoilers under wraps, avoiding TrailersAlwaysSpoil. Unfortunately, the Franchise/{{LEGO}} toyline outright revealed the incinerator scene with an entire set based upon it, even including one of the Little Green Men operating a crane to save the other toys. While not explicitly spoiled, Lotso's true nature was heavily hinted in his LEGO minifigure, which always bore a mean-looking smirk.
31	* ThrowItIn: Ken's line, "Take him to the library (pronounced as 'lie-berry')," after capturing Buzz, was an intentional mispronunciation as an improvisation by Creator/MichaelKeaton. Creator/LeeUnkrich liked it so much, that he kept it in the film.
32	* TroubledProduction: When Pixar started on this film, they thought they could save some time just using their old computer files of the main characters from the previous film. Unfortunately, when they tried, they found out that they neglected to keep them updated with their current operating system and thus were inaccessible for use and the animators had to remake the characters from scratch.
33	* ViralMarketing:
34	** There was a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6dZtNYGlLM Lotso toy]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5ZwkcHCVkE in the 80s]].
35	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXqfS5l27ug The]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBJ57Q5AhQY three]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-Kzub7YXQM ads]] they made aimed at college-age kids.
36	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
37	** 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/{{Toy Story 3\|Circle7}}'' was intended to be produced by a newly established studio called Circle 7 Animation, along with sequels to ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc1'' 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. 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.
38	** An early 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.
39	** Barbie: Originally, Woody's love interest was supposed to be a Franchise/{{Barbie}} doll that wore a PimpedOutDress and was a badass. Creator/{{Mattel}} at the time thought ''Toy Story'' would be a flop and couldn't allow the animators and writers to use her in the story. It wouldn't be until ''Toy Story 2'' and ''Toy Story 3'' that Barbie would be featured; first as a supporting character, then as one of the main characters.
40	** Lotso: WordOfGod states that his character was made ''before'' the original ''Toy Story'', as a Teddy Ruxpin {{Expy}} that was stuck in a bargain bin in a store because his tape player was broken. He and his gang of other bargain-bin toys would've snuck out nightly to raid neighborhoods of toys in the store. This concept would be reworked into ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory4''[='=]s villain, Gabby Gabby. ''The Art of Toy Story 3'' also has numerous pieces of concept art showing him as a Care Bear.
41	** Originally, in the beginning, Buzz was to be chained to the front of the train, rather than flying it to safety.
42	** Before Creator/NedBeatty was cast, Creator/MarkHamill was considered for the voice of Lotso.
43	* WriteWhatYouKnow: The scene where Andy's mom unknowingly throws away the toys in the trash bag after stumbling across it was inspired by Lee Unkrich (the director) accidentally throwing away his wife's childhood collection of stuffed animals in a massive trash bag when they were moving out of their apartment in West Hollywood.
44	* WordOfGod: Creator/LeeUnkrich stated that Rex and Trixie come from the same toy line of dinosaurs. The movie's crew has also stated that the main reason some Sunnyside toys allied with Lotso and worked as his henchmen was simply to [[OpportunisticBastard claim whatever power]] came with being his servants.
45	* YouSoundFamiliar:
46	** Creator/JackAngel previously voiced Rocky Gibraltar and the shark in the first two ''Toy Story'' films before voicing Chunk here.
47	** Jan Rabson appears as Sparks, after previously playing the Japanese businessman in ''Toy Story 2'', and the Dinoco gas station attendee in the first film.
48	** Lee Unkrich voiced the red Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robot in ''2'' and the jack-in-the-box in this film.
