Trivia for
Toy Story 3 (2010) More at IMDbPro »

• Originally, a sequel was planned when it seemed that Disney and PIXAR would split over creative differences in 2004-2005. Disney started up an animation division titled 'Circle 7,' which would have been in charge of churning out sequels for PIXAR films that would not involve the original creators at PIXAR. Entertainment Weekly published an article that said the original plot for Toy Story 3 was going to be about Buzz Lightyear having a defect. Buzz would then be shipped to Taiwan to be fixed, but the other toys find out that the toy company is just replacing the broken Buzz toys with new ones, so they ship themselves to Taiwan to rescue him. This script had to be canned when Pixar and Disney made amends. Part of their agreement was not to further develop projects that had been planned during their fallout.
  
  
• In the teaser trailer for Toy Story 3 where the different toys pass by Woody with material to build their version of the title image, the third alien to pass by Woody is carrying a large 2-D construction of LEGO bricks that vaguely resemble the outline of the Axiom ship from WALL·E (2008).
  
  
• The first Pizar film to be released in Imax.
  
  

• SPOILER: The plot of the movie is loosely based on the original treatment for the first Toy Story, which had Tinny (from Tin Toy (1988)) getting lost at a rest stop and being found by a junk man, who throws him into back of his truck. Tinny meets a ventriloquist dummy and they both decide to stick together. But in the end they end up in a preschool where they'll never get lost or outgrown.
