Toy Story 3 (Circle 7 Screenplay)

'Note: This page is focuses on Toy Story 3's past, and the story is different, not Pixar's story of this film. it wasn't cancelled, it's actually exist in 2010. so we're going to focus on Circle 7's story.'

Toy Story 3 is an early Circle 7 Animation screenplay version of the Disney/Pixar film Toy Story 3.

Plot
Buzz Lightyear is sent back to Taiwan after he starts to malfunction. Later on, Woody and his friends go to Taiwan after finding out that all Buzz Lightyears are being recalled-even the one that Andy owns.

Development
In January 2004, Steve Jobs, the head of Disney at the time announced that The Walt Disney Company had chosen not to renew its contract with Pixar. However Micheal Eisner stated that he was fine with the idea because he believed that the company could produce sequels to Pixar's films that would be just as good as the originals. With that in mind, Eisner opened a new animation studio in Glendale, Califonia whose sole purpose was to produce sequels to movies that Pixar had produced. This new studio was named Circle 7 Animation, after the street on which it was located, Circle 7 Drive.

In addition to creating screenplays for sequels to Monsters, Inc. and Finding Nemo, the animators at Circle 7 also began developing ideas for a third Toy Story film. Among the rejected ideas was a script written by Teacher's Pet writers Bill and Cheri Steinkellner that involved Woody and the gang finding toys that had been stolen out of Andy's grandmother's attic in a whodunit-style mystery.

Finally, Disney chose a draft that had been submiitted by Jim Herzfeld. However, they felt it needed some rewriting and gave Bob Hilgenberg and Rob Muir, writers of the sequel to Monsters, Inc., the task of doing so. Concept artists that worked on developing the look and character designs for the fim included Ric Sluiter, Jim Martin and Shane Zalvin.

Why It Was Cancelled
in January 2006, Disney CEO, Robert Iger decided that Disney was fine with Pixar than they were without buying the latter company for 7.4 billion dollars and later closed down Circle 7 Animation, ending production on all their films.

Result

 * The Circle 7 version of Toy Story 3 was cancelled.
 * Toy Story 3 was distributed by Pixar and Disney following the shutdown of Circle 7 Animation.
