“It’s amazing how one small mistake can domino so quickly” - Luke can’t have known this back when he recorded the line, but this video was released hours after CrowdStrike’s faulty Windows update caused a worldwide outage for hours
-
I love the thought of the collector's toys immediately rejecting him just because he lost his hat. That's perfect.
-
Even if it wasn't the version that made it to the screen, Susman's work should still be appreciated as this 'saved version' helped to define what the final product should be.
-
Toy Story 2 has always been my favorite movie in the franchise it’s remarkable how Jessie and bullseye became staple characters despite not being in the first outing and I love the hellscape of it’s production
-
Now the version that was "saved" may have been scraped later but if that version wasn't saved then perhaps the project would have been abandoned completly rather than reworked into the movie we got.
-
...okay, honestly, now knowing the deletion story involved the original version of Toy Story 2, that explains a lot.
-
I’ve known about this for years, it’s still a crazy story. My assumption is that they would’ve still lost the assets for all the characters even if it wasn’t the final version.
-
When I first heard about the initial deletion of Toy Story 2, it had me wondering if supposedly saving it was worth it since they started over anyway. This does make more sense
-
You're right, this wasn't the Toy Story 2 that got released in 1999. That version of the movie that got deleted, was the one that Disney wanted Pixar to put on VHS. It wasn't supposed to be a theatrical release. Pixar pushed for that to happen, but the cut of the movie they deleted wasn't working. So they asked for Disney to delay Toy Story 2's release to fix what was wrong with the film's plot and characters, and they agreed but they only had NINE MONTHS to do it. That must've been a pain in the neck.
-
it always felt so weird to me that she had a full backup of the entire movie, on her home computer... and that the studio itself.. didn't.
-
I actually never knew about the Toy Story 2 “incident”. Very interesting stuff. Thanks Luke!
-
That sucks! Imagine busting your butt to save a movie, working tirelessly...only to get let go anyway and have the project you saved get erased 🤦🏿♂️. No way
-
I actually didn’t even know about the first deletion story, so this was a wild ride for me! Keep up the stellar work! ❤
-
The thing is, they didn’t start from scratch for the next version. If they had only the 10% at the end of the alphabet plus whatever stuff they got from an ancient backup, they would not have been able to make the version we have in the time available.

SULLIVAN AS STINKY PETE IS A WHOLE ASS VIBE!!!!
-
hearing a terminal command being refereed to as "one line of code" over and over makes me die inside ngl.
-
It wasn’t the Toystory 2 that was released but, they didn’t know that when the one that she saved was deleted.
-
Luke, you crush it as a narrator. Your inflections, tone, the way you get across certain story beats—very well done. I def look forward to these vids! And your Wrestletalk Originals. Keep up the great work!

I've never actually ever seen any Toy Story after the first, I really should go through and watch them
