🕑 Added 2020-05-24 04:01:00 +0000 UTC[Note: Since Patreon has a file size limit per upload, from now on we'll be uploading these super-size episodes of What A Cartoon Movie! in two segments in order to give you the best audio quality possible. So if you haven't listened to this history segment first, please do that now!]
Hey howdy hey, it's time for May's episode of What A Cartoon Movie! And the winner of this month's Pixar sequel poll is—unsurprisingly—the fantastic Toy Story 2. It's an amazing follow-up that quite honestly shouldn't be thanks to the extremely small window of time Pixar had to rescue and finish it, and we go into Toy Story 2's surprisingly rich history—including some big facts most folks (even us) get wrong! And, as always, we give a full, scene-by-scene breakdown of the entire film, with lots of fun trivia, clips, and jokes about your favorite molded plastic characters. Now ride like the wind and get ready for another great podcast!

Estelle Harris is alive and kicking, but your explicit mentioning "Mrs. Costanza" without worrying about Mr. Costanza. And you also casually mentioned Fred Willard in passing. Talking Simpsons network adds two more celebrities to its heap. Also, I don't buy the dead dad theory. Why would Andy put HIS name on the foot if he had been part of the family for presumably another generation? I don't buy it. Anyway, thanks for killing off Jerry Stiller, ya jackasses. I look forward to your toy story games for retronauts. Make sure you do SNES and not Genesis

The Star Wars connection goes even deeper: the film's sound was mixed AT Skywalker Sound, so i'd imagine they obviously have easy access to Star Wars sound effects. A crazy discovery I found: Randy Newman's score for that cleaning scene, played at the beginning of this podcast, sounds very close to the beginning of this section in Gustav Mahler's Symphony no. 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g76h4U-7kUc Randy Newman has cited Mahler as an influence, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is where it came from. Toys in this universe being unable to "live" in a post-smartphone and security camera world's always stuck with me too. TS4 has a ridiculous amount of close calls with humans almost discovering the truth. Good on Bob: I love going to toy stores as well, and was a HUGE Lego kid. The cleaning Woody clip has gone viral labeled as the "most satisfying video ever", and oh yes I love those videos of things getting cleaned and restored. Rex talking about games being so hard they need strategy guides as extortion did sorta happen back in the heyday of adventure games, where it was often rumored that they were made so hard that you'd NEED to buy hintbooks or call up phone lines for them to get extra money. Lee Unkrich is the one pointing out the Six Million Dollar Man reference, and it's also referenced in TS3 (which he directed) during the furnace scene: Woody is holding onto a SMDM lunchbox, which was Lee 's favourite growing up.
