In 1992, a company by the name of "Hi-Tech Toons" made '''test scenes''' of the movie ''Toy Story''. These designs are drastically different than the ones seen in the final product. Most notably, this test footage gives us an idea of the script and Woody's attitude before the rewrites. When he was considered by even Tom Hanks as "a real jerk". There is also footage of Buzz being voiced by Billy Crystal. Tim Allen would voice Buzz in the final product.

Still of the test footage.

Status: Existence Unconfirmed

Toy Story is a 1995 American computer-animated film that was Pixar's first feature-length film, the first all-computer-animated film, and the film that ultimately started the trend of computer-animated movies today. It has been highly regarded as one of the greatest animated films ever, lauded for its presentation and innovation.[1]

In 1992, Pixar and a company named "Hi-Tech Toons" made test scenes of the movie.[2] These designs are drastically different from the ones seen in the final product (notably, Buzz is smaller, and in a red spacesuit and Woody is a ventriloquist doll). What little test footage is available is similar in tone to the infamous Black Friday Reel. There is also test footage of Buzz being voiced by Billy Crystal, Pixar's first choice for the role (Tim Allen would voice Buzz in the final product). Despite fans rumoring about the existence of additional animation tests, there has been no actual evidence of this being the case. However, it's generally believed that more exist.
