The Terrible Version of Woody That Almost Destroyed Pixar

[@Nerdstalgic]

I DID NOT lump the wheel, Auto, in Wall-E in with the villains as he’s more of a narrative than obstacle than a character IMO! Also: If you want more info about how the Black Friday reel came into existence, search katzenberg! Cut a line about Cohen vs coen so the joke isn’t there, but to be clear, not of the Coen brothers! A villain, is not any character that provides an obstacle, or a hurdle, it isn’t even every person that does something wrong within a narrative structure. The wheel, or AI, in Wall-e is not a villain, nor does Pixar classify him or it that way.

I can understand where Pixar was coming from with the original version of Toy Story. Woody becomes a huge jerk to everyone, but then he realizes what friendship is all about, and he becomes a good guy at the end. The problem was that they made Woody too much of a jerk. It's to the point where you didn't want him to learn a lesson, you want him gone. Thank goodness Pixar changed it all up and gave us the Woody we all know and love today.

[@Lucifronz]

He was too shallow for anyone to ever believe the transition from bad guy to good guy could happen. It's more than just being an irritating character no one wants to see anymore, let alone see be redeemed, he's just too evil to believe he could ever change. He has no depth.

[@mickey4125]

"This isn't flying! It's falling, with style!" Has to be one of the best full-circle callbacks ever. Woody originally says it when he and Buzz are nemeses both to have a stab at him, but also make fun of the fact that Buzz thinks he's the 'real' Buzz Lightyear. Then after everything they go through, Woody learning to be more tolerant and accepting, Buzz learning that he actually really isn't the 'real' Buzz, and the pair learning to get along, work together, even like and respect each other, Buzz says it in the final triumphant moments of their arc, and it cements everything they've gone through in a beautifully neat little way. Now that's good writing.

[@VitaEmerald324]

I feel like something similar happens with Woody’s interactions with Forky. Throughout Toy Story 4 there’s conflict about Forky’s considering himself trash. Woody tries to convince Forky that he’s more than that: that Forky is a toy. This is very different than when he said it to Buzz though. With Buzz, Woody is somewhat cynical about toys just being playthings for kids. But I think between 1 and 4 Woody’s outlook changes, probably thanks to his time with the Roundup crew in 2. He sees toys as something to cherish now. And upon meeting Forky, and seeing how much Bonnie cherishes him, he has to convey that to Forky who has his own cynical mindset of only seeing himself as a mess of parts thrown together at a whim.

They were going to do something different for Toy Story 3. Andy was actually the son of another person, who had polio as a kid, and had glasses because of it. Woody is the only Woody in the world also. They were doing a drawing for woody dolls from woodie's roundup, but "the spaceships went up, and never came down". They ended up sending his dad the only Woody to exist which is why he "doesn't know who he is". Apparently his dad died of post polio syndrome. This actually comes from the creator of toy story.

Woody being a jerk in the early version can be pretty much blamed on then-Disney studio chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg's demand that the movie be "darker and edgier."

[@LordBlueRouge]

Interesting thing to point out for those curious: It wasn't Disney who wanted "darker and edgier" it was Katzenberg, and after his dismissal in 1995, Katzenberg later would co-found DreamWorks animation in order to make Shrek and other films. The "darken and edgier" is still there, it's just in DreamWorks Animation now, very cool piece of history here.

[@nathan8569]

@@LordBlueRouge Actually, Katzenberg left Disney in 1994, a few months after The Lion King came out.

[@JJ-ip1eo]

I was also quite disappointed that Katzenberg was not mentioned in this video because Woody's earliest personality and the general "edgy" tone is on record for being due to Katzenberg's insistence and that Lasseter at one point said that at this point the movie was no longer the movie he wanted to make and was on board with cancelling the movie altogether unless allowed to make the movie he wanted to make.

[@corporatecanine6030]

This whole fiasco inspired a creepypasta called The Black Friday Incident, in which the writers get so frustrated with time constraints and the "darker and edgier" requirement that they turned the original draft into a feverish nightmare and ended up dying from stress. By the end of it, Woody starts ripping out chunks of his own flesh and scars the team of executives at Disney.

The difference between Pixar villains and conventional villains is that many times it is the hero who invades the villains territory.

Yeah, but up until the last 30 minutes of the movie, there isn’t even a villain. It’s focused on Miguel finding a way to gain his family’s acceptance of music, while also returning to the Land of the Living, through Ernesto’s blessing. In fact, we only find out Ernesto is the villain because Hector shows up at the very end. But they never really went into Ernesto’s past or anything, outside of Hector’s death, but he’s definitely more complex of a character than traditional Disney villains were. But really, he’s only there to sway the narrative of the main story and raise the stakes. If Ernesto hadn’t have thrown them in the sinkhole and instead, had just killed Miguel or put him somewhere else, neither would have realized their relation, and in turn, the goal changes from gaining musical acceptance for himself, and instead, familial acceptance for his long lost great-great-grandfather who had wrongly been killed before he could apologize to his wife for leaving. He’s no longer fighting for his own wants, but for the needs of his family, living and dead, those being their connection to Hector and Coco, and their generations-old hatred of music.

[@abiwonkenabi7027]

I think villains like Bellwether (the sheep) have their place and can serve a story better. For one example, Zootopia was all about perception of social groups, so having a twist villain and challenging Judy's perceptions serves the story and themes. Hans of Frozen was also similarly mostly a plot device, the focus was on the sisters and their love for each other, so the typical fairy tale love with Hans is shown as often too good to be true in favor of sisterly love (although they kind of cheat with Christoph, but whatever. The focus was clearly on the sisters). I agree that more "evil" charismatic and fun to watch villains have their place too, and I like seeing both.

Since it was hero vs villain, I imagine the other toys would have gone and rescued Buzz, then had a showdown and got rid of Woody. in the Epilogue Andy would question it at first, but because Buzz is the new toy with a new exciting show, he’d forget about Woody and Buzz would take his place, and he’d start playing with all his toys with Buzz being the hero.

[@thunderbird1921]

Interestingly, some people intensely disliked Jessie at first when she was introduced for similar reasons to this Woody version. She was not only very bitter at first, she nearly rips off Woody's other arm in a fit of rage. If that wasn't rough enough, the TS2 promotional art shows her grinning and winking arrogantly. What saved her character is they had her discover the truth through Woody, drop her bitterness and become a FAR more humble, loving and caring character (both in the second and third films). When they did that, Jessie's popularity SOARED. Now she's one of the most loved in the whole franchise.

The grasshopper oppresses the ants just because and he is The villain to defeat, in TS Woody is not the villain for being jealous, Buzz is not the villain for altering Woody's life, and Sid is not the villain, he is just a kid playing with his toys, unaware they are alive, and the movie is not about defeating him.

I don't know if villain is the right term. Antagonist, certainly - their role in the story is very clearly that of the antagonist. But villain?

AUTO is just an automatic system following instructions which seemed reasonable at the time they were issued. There's no moral judgement, and I don't know if you can have a villain without a moral judgement. AUTO is more just a force that needs to be overcome, like a natural disaster.

Plenty of Pixar films have villains that play the role of a villain. Heck even in a couple of your examples Randle/Waternoose are pretty traditionally villainous. Conflict between Mike and Sully is certainly a big feature of the resolution, but the fear-narrative of children being toxic as a fraud perpetuated by Waternoose to keep selling scare energy, and Randall’s more direct antagonizing as well as his being “in” on the overarching scheme.. these are typical villainous traits and they’re the main conflict and resolution of the plot In Ratatouille, Ego is an antagonist but not a villain and he ends up being sort of.. redeemed, in the eyes of the film from his more like, “mean” natured reviews. He does sort of create the situation however, with his review taking the Gusteau stars and the implication that his restaurant failing is what kills Gusteau. And that ushers in the plot. Discovering that fact is also what exposes Remy and the rats and leads to them going to Paris. But Chef Skinner is the villain, with pretty typical villainous actions and intents. He has it out for Linguine, he’s power and money-hungry wanting to cheapen Gusteau’s name and image to profit for himself.. spying on and trying to expose Linguine and Remy. Skinner is the main antagonist and villain, though not as “evil” as most villains are. Auto in Wall-E is as much a villain as HAL on which he’s based. He’s not malicious in a human way, but he does fight against humans and Wall-E to preserve the status quo when he’s presented with opposition. He and the little robot crony he has do villainous things like attempt to destroy Wall-E, the other defective bots, the plant. All to keep the humans placated and status quo retained. That’s his motive. Other films have extremely typical villains like Syndrome, Lotso huggin bear, Hopper, Charles Muntz, Chick Hicks, Ernesto de la Cruz. Not every film, but a lot do. There can exist an internal protagonist conflict in addition to an external villain/hero one. Stories aren’t limited to 1 conflict.

[@rolmodel12.]

Well done! Good argument, with good examples, and well thought out. I enjoyed reading your argument, and agree, completely: stories can have multiple conflicts, and still be just fine. Too many, is a problem. Too little... and you have no story, not a great one anyway. There need's to be motivation, and meaning, FOR the story. Those multiple conflict's help give more depth to the character's involved. Making them more human- and therefore, more relatable, as we are not limited, ourselves, to one primary conflict in life. People, and characters, need/should have to struggle (conflict)- it builds character (pun, very much, intended), enhances attributes, and allow's one to have a better payoff: both in the real world, and the one's we write to reflect it.

The reason why Woody was so unlikeable in this version is because Disney was pushing Pixar to make the movie "edgy," like more adult in tone, and this was the result. Once the executives saw how bad it was, they encouraged Pixar to scrap it and write the characters the way they actually wanted.

[@lemeres2478]

When Pixar has a villain... they are only involved LONG down the line of the story. The first few acts are about the characters dealing with the world around them. Wall-E has to go from a world ruined by human decadence, and then go to that excess's new heights, before we ever see the Wheel. In Monster's INC, they have to encounter the child and struggle with between their desire to protect the child and their society that views it as a threat- long before the snake man and evil CEO get directly involved. The villain is more of the heightened representation of the conflicting forces the characters had to deal with before that.

If we ever get a Toy Story 5, it should be Andy finding and buying (likely a replica due to how rare Woody was in Toy Story 2) a replacement to Woody, which would nearly break Woody since after Toy Story 4, he finally moved on from Andy. But seeing that Andy didn't even think of him besides a collection urges Woody to try and force himself back into Andy's life to replace the replacement. Said replacement, the replica, would be this "Black Friday" Woody. Bitter, lack of remorse, etc. And the movie would essentially be Woody facing his inner demons, he has greed, he (despite letting Andy go) still remembers him and his heartbroken to see he was replaced. And this evil Woody would essentially be a Woody that let these feelings consume him. (Maybe an Adult Andy gets very similar toys to the ones he had as a kid.

@@princessthyemis yuppers buzz in toy story 4 was like a robot

[@macmurfy2jka]

Agreed, since when was buzz incapable of critical thinking and not fully in control of his life? In TS1(Toy story 1) maybe, but that was primarily because he was to naive to know better. That is pretty well corrected by the end of the film. Even in TS2 where Buzz is essentially on his own, he takes control of the group and leads effectively and effortlessly. He ends up working off a good majority of his ignorance of the real world by the end of that film. He also saves Woody from Stinky Pete with a brilliant display of resourcefulness when he stunned Pete with the cameras. In TS3 ,where he is now fully lucid, he was able to singlehandedly break into Lotso’s archives. He didn’t even seem to break a sweat doing so. If the real Buzz had been involved in the heist to steal Sporky back, it probably would have gone of way better. Even if he was misguidedly following his “inner voice” I doubt he would have thrown caution to the wind like he did. Either way, Buzz’s following his “inner voice” was totally out of character, anyway. He knew, very well, the fact that he was a toy, lest we forget the manic depressive episode in the first film. I doubt he would have put any credibility into the random pre recorded catch phrases that he knew were such. Honestly that was the worst part of the film overall. They could have left that stupid gag out and the whole film really wouldn’t have suffered. It’s not like there was a pay off for the stupid gag anyway. If Buzz learned to lighten up (not really needed anyway) but also to trust his gut more to be a more effective leader whilst simultaneously realizing the stupidity of listening to the recordings, there may have been something there. It almost seams thats what the writers wanted but some pivotal scenes got left out in editing. The rest of the characters in the film even realized that Buzz was acting strange. IDK. All I know is that it sucked.
