Last week, we premiered one of the character posters for Toy Story 3. I wanted to quickly round up all the others that appeared on sites around the web. (We also had the leaked TS3 trailer on Friday, and the ‘real’ version goes live today at noon, so I’ll be updating and bumping that story accordingly.) And this is also a good place to throw a neat little tidbit your way: there was one ending scripted for the original Toy Story that wasn’t used, but was eventually adapted into a major plot aspect of Toy Story 3. It’s all after the jump.

First up, that bit from Toy Story that was revamped into Toy Story 3. The Pixar Touch blog prints this rundown of a possible conclusion to the original film:

As the kids show up, they start playing with the toys and the air is singing with the toys’ joy. The other toys tell our four heroes how great it really is: It’s a kindergarten, you never get outgrown because every year there’s a new crop of kids, and the toys even get summers off! Tinny [the star of Tin Toy and the originally-envisioned star of Toy Story] and friends have really found their heaven, and their happy ending.

This is obviously way early stuff, as it is from the first treatment for Toy Story, and is therefore pre-Woody and Buzz. And it’s quite different from the day care center we see in the trailer for the third film now. In the current incarnation of this story, the kids at the center are rougher and nuttier than the toys really seem to be prepared for. Still, it’s an interesting look at how Pixar keeps a sheaf of possible ideas around for use, even if they don’t fit the film for which they were originally conceived.

And now, the character posters, in brief. We’ve already featured Rex’s image from MySpace; these come from Moviefone (Woody), Yahoo (Buzz),  ComingSoon (Jessie) and AICN (Slinky Dog). Small versions are below, click through to the original posts for the full-size.

  • I would prefer them finding their way back to Andy, and having him pass them down to his kids...

    But that's just me.
  • TheTrebor
    yeah me too i would like that to happen just keep them in the family through out the generations. As Im sure some ppl who enjoyed the movies have done iy by showing them to their own kids and enjoying them together. i hope ppl can understand what I'm trying to say lol.

    The trailer is on at the website idk if i can post a link or not if its wrong then just delete the link or let me know

    And this would actually be consistent with the backstory of Toy Story 2 where it is clear that Woody has been passed down within the family for at least one generation (Andy's mother even says something about this in the yard sale).
  • RWF
    Yes, but that might be too typical.

    If Andy is going to college, how is Buzz still operating? Wouldn't his batteries have died? Does he replace his own batteries? Where does he get the batteries? Does he actually need batteries since Woody doesn't use batteries to talk and move on his own?

    (from the department of "you thought about this too much")
  • ph11
    I recall Woody talking to other toys about keeping their batteries fresh and their plastic in good condition. But a fair question as it seems unlikely that the toys go shopping now and then.
  • samboni
    id say they just take them from the house

    *sigh* ... when you were a kid, how did your toys always stay alive and talk to you? This movie is supposed to bring you back to that time when you couldnt give a care in the world 'why' but were still happy.
  • starscream9289
    Reckon the toys watched Andy masturbate?
  • Pretty sweet looking posters!
