Toy Story 2 (direct-to-video version)

This was going to be the original Toy story 2 before John Lasseter and Pete Docter reviewed it.

History
After the success of the first Toy story (1995) it was evident that a sequel would come soon, Disney suggested to Pixar that Toy story 2 was a direct-to-video sequel made by DisneyToons, Pixar refused to do so and was in charge of making the direct sequel to video by themselves.

Two teams were made, the first is in charge of A bug's life and the second of Toy story 2. While John Lasseter and in general the team of the first toy story were busy with A bug's life, Toy story 2 was made as an easy project directed by two directors (One of them was Ash Brannon) At one point in development, the film was almost completely erased, but after great efforts, Pixar managed to rescue the film.

However, Disney was apparently impressed with the quality of the sequel, so they negotiated with Pixar for the film to be released in theaters instead of the originally planned video release. Pixar agreed and began to modify the film to be longer (Since the film was originally shorter)

Plot
The plot was similar to that of the original film, but with notable differences.

Why it was canceled
1. After finishing A bug's life, John Lasseter reviewed Toy story 2 and was not satisfied with the result; according to Lasseter, the plot was predictable and did not have a good emotional core. Pixar told Disney they couldn't release Toy Story 2 like this, but Disney considered the sequel to be fine like this. Finally, Disney agreed to let Pixar try to remake the film in just 9 months; With great efforts, Pixar was able to complete the film which was finally released in 1999.

Results
- The original film was permanently canceled.

- The final version of Toy Story 2 was released in 1999 and was a box office success.
