Actor Tom Hanks has reflected on the early rough cut of Toy Story, saying it was “not enjoyable” and didn’t reflect the film’s eventual success.
Pixar executives reportedly walked out of the initial screening without reacting, as the early version of Woody was considered unappealing.
Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter admitted the first versions “sucked” and that the character needed major rewrites.
The film was extensively reworked before becoming the 1995 hit that launched the franchise.
