Toy Story 3, at one point, would have seen Andy’s Mom get remarried, Woody, Buzz, and Jessie getting lost in Mexico, and the gang meeting a Spanish Buzz leading a civilization of knockoff toys.

In 2004, Disney and Pixar were at war. In 2005, it all fell apart. In retaliation to Pixar, Disney’s at the time CEO, Michael Eisner, opened up Circle 7 Animation. Their goal was simple- make sequels to Pixar movies.

They had 3 initial sequels lined up. Toy Story 3, Monsters Inc 2: Lost in Scaradise, and Finding Nemo 2.

Toy Story 3 is the most infamous of these- being the only sequel that went into full production, but before writing that version of the movie, Jim Herzfeld, one of the film’s writers, was hired by Disney to write an entirely different version of the movie. Jim was gracious enough to sit down with me for an interview where we discussed the movie, and his time at Circle 7. I can't thank him enough for his time and generosity. Here on Canned Goods, we can exclusively reveal to you the story of The Blended Family Draft of Toy Story 3.

Today we’ll be breaking down the development, plot, and cancellation of the unmade Toy Story sequel: Toy Story 3: The Blended Family Draft.

Enjoy!
