Toy Story 3, at one point, would have seen Woody, Buzz, and the gang in the center of a Whodunit Mystery, centered around a silly Sock Monkey.
In 2002, Disney enlisted Cheri and Bill Steinkellner to write a Toy Story movie, without Pixar's involvement. The hope was for Disney to use this as a bargaining chip against Pixar, who they were soon sitting down to negotiate with. Cheri and Bill's script came, went, and disappeared.
Years later, they would come to learn that their script was rewritten as a part of Disney's Circle 7 Animation, their studio designed to make sequels to Pixar movies. But as far as rewrites go- it only retains the most basic of story elements.
Cheri and Bill were gracious enough to sit down with me for an interview where they discussed the movie, how they came onto the project, and how they learned of the project's resurrection. I cannot thank them enough for their time and knowledge. Here on Canned Goods, we can exclusively reveal to you the Steinkellner's original story for The Whodunit Draft of Toy Story 3, pre-rewrite.
Today we’ll be breaking down the development, plots, and cancellation of both versions of the unmade Toy Story sequel: Toy Story 3: The Whodunit Draft.
Enjoy!
