Rumor Toy Story friends makeover

[MadTeacup]

You have to question how they ended looking so bad on the old faces

Well, for starters these were 90's character designs and It wouldn't be until the mid to late 2000's when we'd finally see a push to make characters appear more screen accurate. Also, I believe that Buzz and Woody were rushed into production after Toy Story became a bigger success than Disney originally anticipated. To get them into the parks as quick as possible, they didn't spend the usual amount of time fine-tuning the designs and doing a test-and-adjust. This decision resulted in long-lasting issues with fit and function that resulted in high levels of discomfort and frequent performer injuries. I really can't stress how long overdue this re-design was.

On a side note, RIP Bullseye. You may have destroyed people's bodies, but you always looked so darn cute doing it.

Destroyed bodies? How so?

Destroyed is probably too harsh a word. Inflicted pain on employees probably better describes the situation.

Now that they got them redone...Hopefully they can do this to Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl..They look off model as well..

I guess that it would probably because of the longer neck. Probably why the costumes with the long neck (Br'er Bear, Baloo, Country Bears) got redesigned

Yeah, I also remember the late 2000s (sometime in late 2009 and early 2010) was when Mr. Smee finally got a makeover looking more screen accurate then his previous look.

Then

Now

Later followed by Marie from The Aristocats in 2013 (Tokyo and Paris) and rolled out to the other Disney Parks around 2014. And recently Clarabelle Cow and Horace Horsecollar two to three years ago.

Vertebrae damage is just one of the long-term issues he's been know to cause.

I like how Buzz is still making the DreamWorks Face.

 

[Piebald]

Their faces look great, but Buzz's body looks very weird. The shoulders seem too small or the top part of his uniform is just too big. He looks like those guys at the gym who work out chest and arms excessively and then their arms look too short for their body. See video...

What would we do without narcissistic benefactors?

To be fair, Buzz has been making that face before DreamWorks even existed.

Dreamworks stole it from him!

I now it's been awhile since they have revealed the newer versions of the characters. But, was there any word when they would be doing the switch even if they use them for the cavalcades?

Thanks for reminding me about this, I almost forgot about the newer versions of Woody, Jessie, and Buzz until now.

Looks like they are putting the newer version of the TS characters in Paris next before they bring them out the US parks..Shown here in the DLP 30th ad..

Well... at Walt Disney World, "You've got an Adventure Friend in me."

Reminds me of how long it took for Tokyo to fully roll-out the newer Mickey and Minnie heads a few years ago.

A New photo of the updated versions were shown just recently for the Pixar Day At Sea..

Jessie's head remains disturbing. I have no idea how, given the constraints of the human body, but they need to find a way to give her a neck.
