12 Things You Didn't Know About Pixar
7. Toy Story Also Went Through Some Hilarious Name Changes
In 2011, Pixar's director, editor and screenwriter Lee Unkrick (responsible for co-directing Monsters, Inc. and Finding Nemo as well as solo directing Toy Story 3) revealed a huge number of abandoned titles for the original Toy Story.
While draft titles are nothing new, it's interesting just how wildly the potential titles varied. Some of these titles include Made In Taiwan, Moving Buddies, Toyz In The Hood (yes, really), Spurs & Rockets, Some Assembly Required, and Bring Me The Arm Of Buzz Lightyear.
In fact, Toy Story was actually the working title, intended from the very start to be replaced, yet it turned out to be the most fitting and memorable of them all.
