My favorite fun fact about the franchise is that when they were making the Toy Story 2 Disney wanted them to make it direct-to-video so they had no staff. Even after convincing the higher-ups, they still had to hire people who knew how to animate the characters in a hurry. So they went down the hall to Disney Interactive, found the guy who worked on the Interactive Storybook of the first game (which is honestly pretty great), and offered them a chance to work on the movie proper.

Apparently it was Pixar themselves who made the Interactive Storybook (which is why it looks so good and uses a lot of assets from the first movie) and Pixar had a little video game division at the time which they closed down when they needed the video game people to work on TS2.

[@AltNicksterski9788]

That Nightmare Buzz boss fight was based on a unused scene from the original movie, where Woody had a nightmare about Andy finding Buzz cooler that him and leaving him out before moving out, leaving Woody alone to be overtaken by cockroaches. Development of licensed games was mostly around earlier draft of movie to develop the game in time, which would usually resolve in the content of the game being slightly or more diffenrent that the product they were based on. Also, a lot of Pixar movies unused scene are about the main hero having a bad nightmare. Strange coincidence, isn't it?

[@Lugbzurg]

This sort of thing happens from time to time, like how a deleted scene from The Phantom Menace ended up getting adapted into Lego Star Wars: The Videogame.

[@danielgurnye1357]

Same thing for Revenge Of The Sith. The fake Jedi were only seen in the deleted scene. But still made it into the 5th level of episode 3.

[@airtiger4577]

Yeah, I think that deleted scene had andy being impressed by buzz's glow in the dark feature, and he wanted to see if woody also glows, which he didn't and then andy decided that he doesn't like woody anymore.

19:43 There is a steam port of Disney Infinity where you have all the figures unlocked from the start without having to buy any figures or use that weird pad thing, and it is rather inexpensive especially if its on sale. Maybe check that out if you're interested? I definitely recommend it. Edit: There are some characters missing from the game that were in the console versions like Ant-Man, Mad Hatter, Dory, etc. and there are some issues like no multiplayer or level sharing, but overall its still a great port IMO (thanks for letting me know Spacething7474 and FireYums). [There are also mods to put some of the characters back in, but I can't confirm if they work or not.]

It sadly didnt include the later figures, so no Zootopia and such.

[@darienb1127]

4:28 Alright, I do wanna talk about this for a second. The reason why KH3's Toy Box takes plays in a new mall is becuase it was a scrapped concept for one of the Toy Story movies. Pixar originally wanted to have one of the movies have this huge toy mall like we see in the games, but they couldn't figure out how to make it work so they scrapped it. When it came to the KH collab though, they revived it for the game. Sure it doesn't take place in Al's Toy Barn, but it's an old concept that they were able to bring back to live and I think that's really cool.

[@Noveliun]

Lol i was totally thinking "Oh boy he is gonna talk about Toy Story 2, loved that game as a kid" when he hit me with the "I know you're here to talk about TS2, I´m not stupid" That made me chuckle.

[@Spiney09]

My uncle helped develop Toy Story 3. He did a lot of work on the toy box mode, and the dragon? The one you ride in the Bonny’s tree area? That was originally going to be a boss, until he was like “but what if you ride it instead?” I got to play test it a bunch, and it was really cool seeing it grow. That game was also the inspiration for Disney infinity, and that specific team worked on the “Lone Ranger” set, which was considered one of the best of the first wave by critics. That uncle would be thrilled to know you liked the game!

Interesting little tidbit: Jon Burton, the head of Traveller's Tales (who developed the game adaptations of Toy Story 1 and 2), has a KZbin channel dedicated to showing off the various techniques the team used to develop their games, and the Toy Story 1 game in particular has a lot of fascinating elements behind its development. They utilized the Genesis's hardware in ways that didn't even seem possible when developing the game, particularly with some of the 3D-replicating effects and especially the music. The channel's called "Coding Secrets", by the way.

[@SliminBlue]

The Toy Story 3 game was freaking great, and the evidence is that Disney Infinity was effectively just the Toy Story 3 game but other Disney properties. It was actually a competently designed platformer, it had memorable levels (that one level with the rising tea was too difficult as a kid though), and the open world toy box added so much more content on top of it since it was pretty much its own game. I just don't understand why they tried to make a movie tie-in game that good, but it sure did pay off in the end I guess.

I absolutely love the Buzz Lightyear Animated Series. It's genuinely more enjoyable than the film.

[@WalterUnglaub]

The only fun thing about the film was the damn robot cat. The pacing was atrocious and the plot was...less than stellar. BLoSC actually involved galactic travels, tons of aliens and robots, world-building, and consistently good comedy. It actually felt like a universe where Buzz Lightyear belonged, unlike the new film which I can only describe as the "current year's" attempt at putting the Pixar film "Up" into a hard sci-fi space setting by lazily ripping off the main concepts from movies like The Martian and Interstellar. It doesn't earn its attempts to tug at your heartstrings and it's nowhere near as fun and campy as the show. They even completely ruin Zurg.

[@thetrainmaster968]

[@TheMortalkombat2007]

Fun Fact: Woody's Nightmare was planned to be a scene in the film but it was scrapped. It is was common for video games based on films to include scrapped scenes because the games and films were often developed concurrently.

[@TDashLIVE]

I remember playing the Toy Story 3 game so much as a kid. Even when replaying it today, it still holds up incredibly well... at least for the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. The Wii version is heavily downgraded so it can fit on a Wii disk and run well on a Wii, and the PC version is just a port of the Wii version. If you have a PS3 or Xbox 360, get those versions instead. Fun fact: After the success of the Toy Story 3 game, Avalanche Software had an idea for a sequel which would be based on Buzz instead of Woody. Some concept art was made for it, but at some point a higher-up from Disney came by and said "This game looks cool, but why restrict it to just Toy Story? Why not include multiple different Pixar franchises?" So the game was scrapped and they started working on Disney Infinity. Fortunately the concepts were utilized and included as a play set: Toy Story In Space! Also for people who want to play Disney Infinity without having to spend hundreds of dollars on the figures, you can get Gold Editions of each of the 3 games on Steam that have all content normally locked behind figures unlocked from the start! They're very inexpensive and cost even less when on sale!

TS2 needs a remake urgently. It's an extremely fun platformer. I got a little more hopeful since the game is available on PS5 through that Plus Premium service, hopefully Disney sees the potential.

[@zzzonkers1450]

I disagree on it "holding up". I think nostalgia blinds us. The game is awesome, but controls like dogwater. I'm playing it on PS5 recently and the platforming is so janky, and the camera will never do what you want it to do. I think Super Mario 64 is still more fluid than this. Playing it on an emulator using save states and remapping controls can fix some of these issues and frustrations I'm sure, but just trying to play it the way it was intended is a bit rough these days.

[@pun_dimen]

Fun fact: since they didn't have enough big villains for the Buzz Lightyear Star Command game (since the TV show did not last long), they had to use background and nameless characters to put on the levels. That's why you challenge "Skreel" , "Marl" and "Snark"

[@NanaKyoto]

Licensed games in the 90's and early 2000's really were a golden age, so many quality titles, especially the Disney games. Traveller's Tales really went out of their way to make fantastic Toy Story games (well, maybe not Buzz Lightyear of Star Command), and A Bug's Life. And Toy Story 2 will always be one of those games where I can keep coming back to and never get tired of it, a testament to a game's quality. It is a bummer that we hardly ever get any licensed games these days, can you imagine what a new Toy Story game on the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series consoles could be like? That would be the closest we could get to Pixar quality visuals in a game, but it doesn't look like it was meant to be.

I bet the reason why the A Bug’s Life game hasn’t gotten a remake is because of Kevin Spacey. Think about it, there’s a villain who’s a menace towards children, and then there’s Hopper. Would you want to remake a game where a villain wants to touch kids inappropriately? No.

While the adults talked, the kids were in another room and I had my GBA with Toy Story 2. The event ends and my mom and sister go to the bathroom. I play the game waiting for them to get back, and I'm so focused on playing that I don't think to inform any of the exiting staff that we're still inside so by the time my mom and sister come out of the bathroom, we're temporarily locked inside the school.

I completely forgot that I owned the Toy Story activity center on my windows 98 as a kid. Holy crap dude, you just awakened a bunch of very fond memories with my baby brother. Thank you so much for that!

[@solartaire]

I have literally been playing the toy story 3 game this week lmao. it's still holds up from my childhood and is still really fun and surprisingly challenging at moments, even though I'm technically an adult now lol

[@shortstackofpancakes13]

Same even though I’m a teenager I still return to the game time to time and the toy box mode is really fun, especially while playing with two players

[@justanotherlesbian6335]

Same, I mostly mess around in toy box mode but I also still can’t get past the prison break level 🥴

[@leahb.3298]

So when I was a kid, there was a "console" called the V-Smile that had a bunch of cartridges with different games to play. These were for, like, 4 year olds, so it was a lot of "can you count to 5" type stuff, but there were also multiple Disney properties, and Toy Story 2 was of course one of the options. The phrase "We're one step closer to Woody" is burned into my brained for the rest of time.

[@darkwingdaffy1991]

I used to own a v smile i dont think i had any disney games on it though

[@micshork]

The Buzz Lightyear of Star Command tv show was amazing!

[@the13throse]

yeah, I wish we'd gotten an actually fun game based off it instead of...that

[@micshork]

@@the13throse I would have liked a 3D platfromer where you can play as all four space rangers, each with different abilities and gameplay. Mira Nova was probably my favorite character that was introduced in this show.

[@KevinJennissen]

I was so pumped when I got that game as a kid, thinking it would be a platformer like Toy Story 2. It was a very emotional disappointment.

[@dnmstarsi]

Yep. I admit, I experienced this more as an early morning show IIRC but man, I really enjoyed Buzz's show!

[@nihilisticangel8571]

the buzz lightyear star command game is more of a speedrunning type game encouraging you to get to the end before the enemy allowing you to have an easier boss fight.

[@Lugbzurg]

It's like Ratchet & Clank mixed with Sonic R. I've never seen anything else in quite the same style. The closest thing is maybe some side quests in Watch_Dogs and inFAMOUS: Second Son.

[@wario1226]

That footage of the Toy Story 2 Activity Center was so nostalgic. It was one of like 3 games we had for the big ass Macintosh family computer. I spent so much time messing around with that, having no clue what to do.

I remember some incredible old Toy Story flash games that also used to exist on Disney's website, sadly in 2016, they all got the axe and vanished. I also miss the Phinneas and Ferb flash game that they also had, it had references to almost every episode in the series, but that one vanished in I think 2014...

[@TheOldYoungOne]

Im still gobsmacked that Toy Story 3 was as enjoyable as it was, me and my brother had so much fun customising the town together!

[@jacobwright394]

As awkward as the DS version of Toy Story 3 is, it will always hold a special place in my heart. Absolutely loved that game as a kid!

[@JayBeingNatural]

Also, I figured out there is a slight benefit to beating the bad guys to the end of the course: if you do, then Nova will take out half of the enemies' shields for you.

[@raydaks6383]

[@misterzygarde6431]

31:00 Seeing the reviews of Lightyear made me more interested in the show than the movie.

[@WalterUnglaub]

The show is almost objectively superior to the movie in every way (except visuals, obviously). A damn shame you have to pirate the show in order to watch it.

[@frostymane7628]

Lightyear is a fantastic movie the Internet just has a weird hate for it. The show is also pretty fun, but definitely done on the cheaper side and very goofy

[@sammalone7881]

Honestly was a huge fan of the animated Buzz Lightyear show. Didn't know it lasted only 4 months despite having two seasons.

[@thetrainmaster968]

You're wrong. Outside of the opening of the movie & the TV Spin-Off Show openings, NOTHING ABOUT THIS SPIN-OFF IS GOOD!

[@mrps2dvd2770]

fun fact the Disney infinity trilogy is actually on pc/steam and that version actually removed the toys to life gimmick altogether. So it plays like a proper video game now.

[@Code7Unltd]

>PC gaming can't do that "toys to life" gimmick See? Computers were the most frugal way to videogame, then as now.

[@Antifearn]

I remember playing this one Toy Story game on my preschool's computers that was an interactive, point and click, read-a-long story of the first movie. I don't know if it was the activity center game or not, but I have very vivid, amusing memories of sticking toilet plungers on Buzz's face at the gas station.

[@M64bros]

Toy story is my absolute favorite franchise ever since I was little! Also, I myself actually went to a Pixar convention and they told us how they animate stuff and it was fantastic!

[@lucasgibbs4050]

I’m pretty uncomfortable with the first game’s title screen, Woody has that face like “Buzz Lightyear, you’ll have a friend in you soon.” The only thing Disney doesn’t show is Woody’s him.

[@M64bros]

@@lucasgibbs4050 true

[@LobstertheGiggy]

So a 'fun' thing about the Zurg fight on PC is how his movement works. Its directly connected to the framerate apparently. Now on old PCs and the PS1 that's fine. 60fps wasn't a thing. But now... He's rolling around at the speed of sound, got places to go, gotta follow his rainbow

[@thenewherooftime815]

Why do I have the feeling that this video was made just for that amazing opening joke

[@theirishman759]

The scariest boss on the toy story 2 action game PC was actually the jackhammer, would shake your entire screen when you worked up the courage to attack it, and would do the freaky laugh, making you panic.

[@BinglesP]

This is probably the most on-time I’ve been to an AntDude video since he had a 6-note crescendo for his intro jingle

[@yedffgd]

Not gonna lie, there was a period of my life, when I was like 5 or 6, where Buzz Lightyear of Star Command for PS1 was my favorite video game. Then my copy broke a few months after I got it.

[@RappingNinja]

I remember very well the insane praise for Toy Story 3’s game when it landed. I also remember people being like “What a technical showcase!” for the SNES/Genesis game. And I remember Toy Story 2 getting like, 6s and 7s out of 10 upon release. Definitely a game that made the gaming press say “Adequate!” So I was very much NOT prepared to learn that it’s retroactively the most beloved?!? Never heard that before now.

[@ArnoldStark123]

I just recently watched this buzz light-year cartoon on KZbin with my family 🤣😁

[@poke548]

Man... I a Disney Gamer account through Spectrobes 2. IIRC, back in the day, most of the folks that used it connected through a Club Penguin game. It was basically a little social network for Disney games on the DS. Avatar creation with some fun unlockable costumes, a surprisingly decent friend system including DMs and gifts (for giving said unlockable costumes to friends connecting from other games, each with their own costumes), and several chat rooms for players to talk. The chat rooms and DMs were somewhat restricted, you could only post words contained within an internal dictionary (said dictionary was pretty large, but naturally did not any expletives, references to violence or other mature concepts, as well as a lot of very common euphemisms for the above). That being said, it did also have some fun functionality, like being able to make your avatar appear above the chat room to perform emotes. Many parties back in the day of people spamming the bubbles emote. Good times. That may or may not also be where I got my first girlfriend who goes to another school.

[@leeeroyjenkins555]

If you reach the finish line before the bad guys on the star command game, I think you get a damage bonus on them? Or something like that.

[@numebernode]

Yeah, Mira Nova (the female main character from the show for those who are wondering), shows up to shoot the villain to damage them.

Fun Fact: The SNES version has “You’ve got a friend in me” as one of its songs, but it’s just unsused

[@Martypuppet]

I remember playing toy story 3 on my ds and wii. I usually just fooled around in the toybox on the wii and barley touched the single player. The tower defense game on the ds scared me for some reason, but the game was so easy that even as a 5-9 year old I could beat it. I replayed the games now and there still fun.

[@vincenthaynes3603]

that two player on the Tower Defense has like NO lag. if only it was longer/harder to make it feel more fun.

Dude literally woke up memories from my childhood I had completely forgotten about. I played Toy Story Racer, Toy Story 2, the Buzz Lightear cartoon game AND that Disney Skate thing (which I spent HOURS on because I thought it was super funny). Watching this became a much harder nostalgia trip than I expected and I'm grateful for it

[@kgddrago3752]

I played the toy story 3 game for the wii so much and I loved it! But the psp version was always my favorite one, but not gonna lie...the Bonnie's house mission was always a bit strange to me- like what little girl imagines her house being flooded in coffee?

[@PandamoniuGaming]

I can't be the only one that noticed it, but Toy Story Racer just looks like Muppets RaceMania with a toy story skin over it, which is actually pretty cool because Muppets RaceMania was one of my favourite games as a kid

In terms of Toy Story, Toy Story 2 I personally think is the best film in the series, and my one of my favorite Pixar Films. In terms of Toy Story games, I’ve only played two, Toy Story Mania on Wii, a mini game collection, and Toy Story 3 on the DS. (Yeah I never had the console version, so I never got to experience the Toy Box in that game.)

One interesting fact about the original Toy Story game that not many people bring up despite the gripes people have with how it doesn’t work around the limited continues very well: the 16-bit version actually has a password system,…but ONLY in the Japanese and European releases.
