Rough sketches like this are one of the first steps in creating animated movies like Pixar’s Toy Story 3. Wired took a look at how 49,516 such rough, vague sketches were used to create detailed scenes like this:
Oh, Thrustmaster. What heavenly delights have you brought us this time? Oh, the world’s heaviest DS stylus? You shouldn’t have. No, really. What’s that? It’s a projector as well?
After modding the toy Millennium Falcon, Peter Clute decided to combine Buzz Lightyear with the Terminator, resulting in a zombie nightmare for kids and yours truly. I wish Toy Stoy 3 included this character.

We love Pixar around here. Who doesn’t? Which is why this Pixar Studio Stories series is such a delight: animated, behind the scenes goodies from the company’s illustrious history – including when they nearly lost most of Toy Story 2.
It’s hard to believe that it’s been over 10 years since Toy Story 2. But watching this stunning Toy Story 3 trailer, I know now that it was worth the wait.
I checked out the new Buzz Lightyear robot today, which is selling this Fall for $US130-$150, and it proved that robot toys still have a but to go before they’re really awesome.
