Not related to parks...but Toy Story 3???

[pluto77]

Has anyone read the book Disney War? It said that after Toy Story 2, John Lasseter wanted to make it a trilogy, but Eisner didn't let him, at least not with Disney's help, because they only had a 7 picture deal, and he didn't want to give up Cars for Toy Story 3.

Yes I remember that portion of the story. It also stated something to the effect of Mr. Eisner being angry that he had to count Toy Story 2 (since he considered it "just a sequel") as 1 of the 7 in the original Disney-Pixar deal.

It seems the "Buzz is returned to Taiwan" story line checks out on IMDB:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0435761/

Well, IMDB is probably just keeping it there for now. IMDB is not always that great of a place for latest movie info. I personally hope that they won't use that story though. ( I'm pretty sure they won't though, because the whole thing sounded horrifically bad. )

The plot that the IMDB gives is the now defunct version of the movie. It was canned when the Pixar/Disney deal went through. That movie has been shelved. I honestly think that they'll probably look into making one more and wouldn't doubt that they have a couple people working on the story at the moment, but 2008 is way too soon for a movie that's not being worked on.

Nope, you got it all wrong. Pixar and Disney originally had a five picture deal, not a seven picture deal! Toy Story 2 was originally intended as a straight-to-video release, but during production, Eisner decided to upgrade the film to theatrical release. Pixar then demanded that the film then be counted toward the five picture agreement, but Disney refused. :wave:

Thats how I remember it as well except I thought it was a 6 film deal so the incredibles would have been the last one with Disney/Pixar together. But leave it to the sly guys at disney.

Your memory serves you well. It was originally a 5 picture deal (Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo and The Incredibles) that was later renegotiated to a 6 picture deal (Cars). The production of Toy Story 2 was negotiated outside of the original five picture deal. :wave:
