@@brianh7302 we can thank the wii for that generally speaking if the wii can play it a ps2 can as well so pretty much everyone that made wii games made a ps2 version
My favorite fun fact about the franchise is that when they were making the Toy Story 2 Disney wanted them to make it direct-to-video so they had no staff. Even after convincing the higher-ups, they still had to hire people who knew how to animate the characters in a hurry. So they went down the hall to Disney Interactive, found the guy who worked on the Interactive Storybook of the first game (which is honestly pretty great), and offered them a chance to work on the movie proper.
@@joshnunya324 the thing about that as well, even though the movie was recovered from the one employee, they still eventually scrapped it (I believe making it the second time they did it)
Apparently it was Pixar themselves who made the Interactive Storybook (which is why it looks so good and uses a lot of assets from the first movie) and Pixar had a little video game division at the time which they closed down when they needed the video game people to work on TS2.
That Nightmare Buzz boss fight was based on a unused scene from the original movie, where Woody had a nightmare about Andy finding Buzz cooler that him and leaving him out before moving out, leaving Woody alone to be overtaken by cockroaches. Development of licensed games was mostly around earlier draft of movie to develop the game in time, which would usually resolve in the content of the game being slightly or more diffenrent that the product they were based on. Also, a lot of Pixar movies unused scene are about the main hero having a bad nightmare. Strange coincidence, isn't it?
This sort of thing happens from time to time, like how a deleted scene from The Phantom Menace ended up getting adapted into Lego Star Wars: The Videogame.
Yeah, I think that deleted scene had andy being impressed by buzz's glow in the dark feature, and he wanted to see if woody also glows, which he didn't and then andy decided that he doesn't like woody anymore.
Lol i was totally thinking "Oh boy he is gonna talk about Toy Story 2, loved that game as a kid" when he hit me with the "I know you're here to talk about TS2, I´m not stupid" That made me chuckle.
Major reason the Buzz Lightyear cartoon only lasted 4 months is because at the time they were premiering new episodes almost daily. Essentially the show was created for syndication and expected to only last that long, so in the very least it wasn't cancelled.
first game is a side-scroller that uses 2D sprites, second game is a 3D platformer thats considered the best of the three, and the third game is a pretty fun adventure thats also in 3D. man, Rayman is such a good franchise
omg lol. but Toy Story hasn't been given to annoying pests and die and then come back as two platformers....... I mean it did come back in kingdom hearts but🤷♂
7:49 Fun fact: That level is inspired by a deleted scene from the first movie that involved a nightmare from Woody. The idea would end up in Toy Story 2 but about Woody fearing of losing Andy..
19:43 There is a steam port of Disney Infinity where you have all the figures unlocked from the start without having to buy any figures or use that weird pad thing, and it is rather inexpensive especially if its on sale. Maybe check that out if you're interested? I definitely recommend it. Edit: There are some characters missing from the game that were in the console versions like Ant-Man, Mad Hatter, Dory, etc. and there are some issues like no multiplayer or level sharing, but overall its still a great port IMO (thanks for letting me know Spacething7474 and FireYums). [There are also mods to put some of the characters back in, but I can't confirm if they work or not.]
@@StagFiesta There are 3 versions of the game on Steam: 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0, as well as a bundle which has all 3. 3.0 has all the characters including the Zootopia characters, which were only in 3.0. So that means 1.0 and 2.0 don't have all the characters unfortunately.
My uncle helped develop Toy Story 3. He did a lot of work on the toy box mode, and the dragon? The one you ride in the Bonny’s tree area? That was originally going to be a boss, until he was like “but what if you ride it instead?” I got to play test it a bunch, and it was really cool seeing it grow. That game was also the inspiration for Disney infinity, and that specific team worked on the “Lone Ranger” set, which was considered one of the best of the first wave by critics. That uncle would be thrilled to know you liked the game!
This is actually so cool, if you see this could you tell your uncle that I absolutely adore this game and come back every few months to play it, it's just perfection
4:28 Alright, I do wanna talk about this for a second. The reason why KH3's Toy Box takes plays in a new mall is becuase it was a scrapped concept for one of the Toy Story movies. Pixar originally wanted to have one of the movies have this huge toy mall like we see in the games, but they couldn't figure out how to make it work so they scrapped it. When it came to the KH collab though, they revived it for the game. Sure it doesn't take place in Al's Toy Barn, but it's an old concept that they were able to bring back to live and I think that's really cool.
Interesting little tidbit: Jon Burton, the head of Traveller's Tales (who developed the game adaptations of Toy Story 1 and 2), has a UA-cam channel dedicated to showing off the various techniques the team used to develop their games, and the Toy Story 1 game in particular has a lot of fascinating elements behind its development. They utilized the Genesis's hardware in ways that didn't even seem possible when developing the game, particularly with some of the 3D-replicating effects and especially the music. The channel's called "Coding Secrets", by the way.
Wasn't Coding Secrets his secondary channel? His main one is named Gamehut. I remember finding it like 5 years ago by accident, he also has videos about coding for games like "Mickey Mania", "Sonic 3D Blast" or "Sonic R". I'm happy to not be the only one who remebers his videos. :D
The Toy Story 3 game was freaking great, and the evidence is that Disney Infinity was effectively just the Toy Story 3 game but other Disney properties. It was actually a competently designed platformer, it had memorable levels (that one level with the rising tea was too difficult as a kid though), and the open world toy box added so much more content on top of it since it was pretty much its own game. I just don't understand why they tried to make a movie tie-in game that good, but it sure did pay off in the end I guess.
Fun Fact: Woody's Nightmare was planned to be a scene in the film but it was scrapped. It is was common for video games based on films to include scrapped scenes because the games and films were often developed concurrently.
The Toy Story 2 game really does still hold up today. I agree, this game would do spectacularly well if it were given the remake treatment. TS3 is also still a very fun time.
TS2 needs a remake urgently. It's an extremely fun platformer. I got a little more hopeful since the game is available on PS5 through that Plus Premium service, hopefully Disney sees the potential.
I disagree on it "holding up". I think nostalgia blinds us. The game is awesome, but controls like dogwater. I'm playing it on PS5 recently and the platforming is so janky, and the camera will never do what you want it to do. I think Super Mario 64 is still more fluid than this. Playing it on an emulator using save states and remapping controls can fix some of these issues and frustrations I'm sure, but just trying to play it the way it was intended is a bit rough these days.
I've rewatched it recently and Star Command while a bit goofy is still a lot closer to what Lightyear should of been. The feature length movie/pilot for it is pretty much exactly what they should of made instead of Lightyear.
I think Star Command is a lot funnier then expected. Sure it got some bad episode with aweful pale animation but other times it looks just like the pilot movie and Zurg is just wonderful. SUPER DEATH RAY!
Pretty much my only knowledge of Star Command is that, in one episode, Gravitina apparently straight-up calls Buzz a himbo and I don't think I'll ever recover from it
@@wandereringshadow8658 Indeed and that is why I prefer Star Command over Lightyear. And after hearing they announced Toy Story 5, I wonder how much farther Disney will go to milk the franchise to oblivion.
19:44 Fun Fact: Disney Infinity 1,2 and 3 are all on Steam for like $18 as a bundles and they DON'T require the toy-pad or figures. It comes with all the campaigns and characters and everything. Definitely worth picking up as it's never on sale and it's honestly a great deal!
No one ever talks about 102 Dalmatians: Puppies to the Rescue on PS1. Personally I'd rank that in the same tier as Toy Story 2 and A Bugs Life on PS1. Great game
The only fun thing about the film was the damn robot cat. The pacing was atrocious and the plot was...less than stellar. BLoSC actually involved galactic travels, tons of aliens and robots, world-building, and consistently good comedy. It actually felt like a universe where Buzz Lightyear belonged, unlike the new film which I can only describe as the "current year's" attempt at putting the Pixar film "Up" into a hard sci-fi space setting by lazily ripping off the main concepts from movies like The Martian and Interstellar. It doesn't earn its attempts to tug at your heartstrings and it's nowhere near as fun and campy as the show. They even completely ruin Zurg.
I remember playing the Toy Story 3 game so much as a kid. Even when replaying it today, it still holds up incredibly well... at least for the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. The Wii version is heavily downgraded so it can fit on a Wii disk and run well on a Wii, and the PC version is just a port of the Wii version. If you have a PS3 or Xbox 360, get those versions instead. Fun fact: After the success of the Toy Story 3 game, Avalanche Software had an idea for a sequel which would be based on Buzz instead of Woody. Some concept art was made for it, but at some point a higher-up from Disney came by and said "This game looks cool, but why restrict it to just Toy Story? Why not include multiple different Pixar franchises?" So the game was scrapped and they started working on Disney Infinity. Fortunately the concepts were utilized and included as a play set: Toy Story In Space! Also for people who want to play Disney Infinity without having to spend hundreds of dollars on the figures, you can get Gold Editions of each of the 3 games on Steam that have all content normally locked behind figures unlocked from the start! They're very inexpensive and cost even less when on sale!
I remember getting the Toy Story 3 video game at GameStop, and My Dad was super pissed. So I played the Toy Story 3 video game on my Xbox 360, and it was fun. Couldn't beat the second to last level though. I could've gotten the PS3 version because Zurg's a playable character in that version.
I remember the commercial for the SNES/Genesis Toy Story that played at the beginning of a movie I watched as a kid. It was so cool looking! I particularly remember the balloon you pump in the first level and the LGM saying "HELLOOOO!" when you find him in the first person segment.
Fun fact: since they didn't have enough big villains for the Buzz Lightyear Star Command game (since the TV show did not last long), they had to use background and nameless characters to put on the levels. That's why you challenge "Skreel" , "Marl" and "Snark"
I first bought Toy Story 3 on the Wii at first, and I would hear about these amazing things in the Toybox mode that I wanted to do but couldn’t. Then I got the Xbox 360, and it was so amazing! Doing all the quests and unlocking different features of the toy themes like the haunted mansion, space, and the fairies. I just let my imagination run around while I play this game. Also, I know you didn’t talk much about Toy Story In Space in Disney Infinity, but I loved that game too. It was so much fun creating my own space station and exploring the planet and just seeing all those freaking adorable creatures, I mean have you seen them?! Ahem, excuse me. It’s one of my favorite story games on Disney Infinity, and it gives me nostalgia just thinking about them.
Reminds me of The Simpsons Movie Game - Played it on 360 with a friend, it's amazing, loved running around exploring the world map. Get it myself for PS2, no world map, only level select. I was salty as hell over that one.
Toy Story 3 for the ps3 was an absolute classic. I used to play around in the town for hours just messing around. The Sid’s house stage used to scare me though.
I remember having the TS2 game on PS1, and despite playing it all the time, I was never able to beat it. To be fair though, that was the case with a lot of games from my childhood (Banjo Kazooie, DK64, etc.) I still absolutely adore the TS3 game. I still return to it every now and then. It basically set the ground work for Disney Infinity.
11:06 Wait no you might actually be right about the inspiration for Metroid, seeing the badly plastered on buzz face does actually give me the same feeling of fear that I got when I first saw Samus in the reflection of her helmet.
I remember playing that PSP version of Toy Story 3 and used to get scared on Big Baby's face during the stealth mode in one of the levels. Maybe because of that PSP graphics that scared me. That and the Toy Monkey in the movie is a source of nightmare fuel.
The Toy Story 2 game is still one of my favorite 3D platformers of all time. It has such a good vibe and so many fun environments to explore. I spent countless of hours with that throughout several stages of my life.
Licensed games in the 90's and early 2000's really were a golden age, so many quality titles, especially the Disney games. Traveller's Tales really went out of their way to make fantastic Toy Story games (well, maybe not Buzz Lightyear of Star Command), and A Bug's Life. And Toy Story 2 will always be one of those games where I can keep coming back to and never get tired of it, a testament to a game's quality. It is a bummer that we hardly ever get any licensed games these days, can you imagine what a new Toy Story game on the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series consoles could be like? That would be the closest we could get to Pixar quality visuals in a game, but it doesn't look like it was meant to be.
Same, as a kid.. i was no stranger to licensed games on my PS1 and PS2. I didnt care about the quality, if its a game based off of Toy Story, hey sign me up! It is a shame that there's not much of those games nowadays.. i guess it also helps that a lot of the kids movies nowadays i just dont feel too strong upon. I think the last disney movie i liked was Big Hero 6. And how they never made a console game for it, i will never understand But hey, i guess there's always Kingdom Hearts coming in clutch. I have never seen the toy story world so vibrant and clear in that 2019 game. Feels like its actually from the movie
The only licensed games we get any games for are mega-franchises that usually have dozens and dozens of videogames already. Prepare for an endless sea of Star Wars, DC Comics, and Lord of the Rings games.
I bet the reason why the A Bug’s Life game hasn’t gotten a remake is because of Kevin Spacey. Think about it, there’s a villain who’s a menace towards children, and then there’s Hopper. Would you want to remake a game where a villain wants to touch kids inappropriately? No.
I respect you being freaked out by the trash monster. I myself was absolutely, downright terrified of it, and needed one of my sisters to beat it for me to progress.
Toy Story 2 was the GOAT of all Toy Story games for me. To this day, I never get tired of speedrunning it 100%. I remember getting it on PC that was bundled as part of a combo back with a Gravis gamepad pro and Disney's Hercules.
OMG ANT YOU JUST UNLOCKED A MEMORY FROM YEARS AGO!!! I HAD TOTTALY FORGOTTEN ABOUT THAT GAME AT 32:34 That cutscene just made me remember, thank you very much
I have literally been playing the toy story 3 game this week lmao. it's still holds up from my childhood and is still really fun and surprisingly challenging at moments, even though I'm technically an adult now lol
Nice Retrospective Antdude, definitely fueling the nostalgia here! Though if I could reccomend a particular Disney licensed franchise that has 2 amazing Video Games is arguably "The Nightmare Before Christmas"! (One on console(ps2 and Xbox original) and one on handheld(Gameboy advance)) If you wanna see one heck of a ride in terms of gaming, give these 2 a shot!(not to mention both games are completely different game genres, and both games are REALLY good too!)
I had Toy Story 2 on the pc when I was young, but I was not big into platformers. I remember that the game was actually pretty impressive, but it was HARD for me and even the graphics scared me at times. The garage was pretty much the furthest I could ever get. This video also reminded me I actually never watched Toy Story 3...
I completely forgot that I owned the Toy Story activity center on my windows 98 as a kid. Holy crap dude, you just awakened a bunch of very fond memories with my baby brother. Thank you so much for that!
I'm required to tell this story on every review of Toy Story 2 GBC: When I was a kid, my mom, sister and I went to our new school for a conference/primer for the new school year. While the adults talked, the kids were in another room and I had my GBA with Toy Story 2. The event ends and my mom and sister go to the bathroom. I play the game waiting for them to get back, and I'm so focused on playing that I don't think to inform any of the exiting staff that we're still inside so by the time my mom and sister come out of the bathroom, we're temporarily locked inside the school. We got out in just a few minutes, but that cost me my Game Boy for quite a while.
If anyone should be punished, it’s the staff for not checking to see if there was still anyone in the building like with cameras or something. The staff should’ve been able to know that without you informing them, or at least see you since you were still in there. You shouldn’t have been punished for someone else’s incompetence back then, and you shouldn’t now.
Buzz Lightyear of Star Command on PS1 was my first video game ever. I loved it so much when I was a kid, but going back as an adult, you can just feel how lazy it is. Still has amazing music. Honestly all the PS1 Toy Story games have fantastic music.
21:06 That music from the DS version in the background just gave me so much nostalgia. Also, that tower defense mode is actually a lot of fun and really replayable.
I actually watched retro rebound’s retrospective on the toy story games yesterday but yours is honestly just incredible overall. Love every minute of your retrospective.
Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure is probably the game I have the single most amount of nostalgia for in my life, it's sooooooooo good, glad to see it mentioned here Toy Story Racer as well, I recently 100%'d it for the first time but it is SOOOOOOO tedious and easy once you are used to each map and their shortcuts
honestly even if they're never going to release it, I'd at least like an official explanation as to WHY. like. did you lose the footage/original frames so you can't make it HD or remove the Disney Channel logo? did somebody complain about a stereotype in it and now you're too scared of controversy to officially release it? (which I think is probably what's keeping the Aladdin cartoon in the vault) Did somebody big at Disney or Pixar put "do not ever release Buzz Lightyear of Star Command" in their will? Because the explanation that Disney execs just didn't like it doesn't make sense to me considering they've released plenty of other poorly-received stuff onto Disney+
When he brought up the activity center games, it flipped a switch in my brain I had long forgotten. I had one of those as a kid, and seeing it now is incredibly surreal.
@@the13throse I would have liked a 3D platfromer where you can play as all four space rangers, each with different abilities and gameplay. Mira Nova was probably my favorite character that was introduced in this show.
The show is almost objectively superior to the movie in every way (except visuals, obviously). A damn shame you have to pirate the show in order to watch it.
Lightyear is a fantastic movie the Internet just has a weird hate for it. The show is also pretty fun, but definitely done on the cheaper side and very goofy
I remember some incredible old Toy Story flash games that also used to exist on Disney's website, sadly in 2016, they all got the axe and vanished. I also miss the Phinneas and Ferb flash game that they also had, it had references to almost every episode in the series, but that one vanished in I think 2014...
Skip to 32:30 to see ALIEN POG 8y Honestly, I'm glad you talked about the first three games Traveller's Tales made. The first movie's game adaptation was a HUGE technical achievement for the time. Jon Burton's made a couple videos on it over on his GameHut channel- they're well worth listening to!
As a Toy Story 2 speedrunner I agree with this video and the Toy Story 2 speedrunning community is fully on board with wanting a remaster LOL Great video dude!
That footage of the Toy Story 2 Activity Center was so nostalgic. It was one of like 3 games we had for the big ass Macintosh family computer. I spent so much time messing around with that, having no clue what to do.
Toy story is my absolute favorite franchise ever since I was little! Also, I myself actually went to a Pixar convention and they told us how they animate stuff and it was fantastic!
I’m pretty uncomfortable with the first game’s title screen, Woody has that face like “Buzz Lightyear, you’ll have a friend in you soon.” The only thing Disney doesn’t show is Woody’s him.
The first two movies remain to be my favorite movies ever made! I started rewatching them for fun, and 4 is actually really fun to watch as well. I think I did recall playing Toy Story Kinect games, we’re really fun.
I've watched this video at least FOUR times already. Thank you for all the content you put out and for covering at least ONE game I've played here. Haha.
Dude literally woke up memories from my childhood I had completely forgotten about. I played Toy Story Racer, Toy Story 2, the Buzz Lightear cartoon game AND that Disney Skate thing (which I spent HOURS on because I thought it was super funny). Watching this became a much harder nostalgia trip than I expected and I'm grateful for it
For anybody who grew up with it like me, the founder of Traveller's Tales (the studio behind the Genesis Toy Story game) has his own channel where he talks about some of the tricks they used to pull that game off. ua-cam.com/users/CodingSecrets
fun fact the Disney infinity trilogy is actually on pc/steam and that version actually removed the toys to life gimmick altogether. So it plays like a proper video game now.
Not gonna lie, there was a period of my life, when I was like 5 or 6, where Buzz Lightyear of Star Command for PS1 was my favorite video game. Then my copy broke a few months after I got it.
Also, I figured out there is a slight benefit to beating the bad guys to the end of the course: if you do, then Nova will take out half of the enemies' shields for you.
Maybe just nostalgia, but man there is something about the style of those 2000s cartoons. Hand drawn and all, great voice acting too, even if it was just a spin off. Modern flash-esque cartoons just have a different feel.
I remember playing toy story 3 on my ds and wii. I usually just fooled around in the toybox on the wii and barley touched the single player. The tower defense game on the ds scared me for some reason, but the game was so easy that even as a 5-9 year old I could beat it. I replayed the games now and there still fun.
I played the toy story 3 game for the wii so much and I loved it! But the psp version was always my favorite one, but not gonna lie...the Bonnie's house mission was always a bit strange to me- like what little girl imagines her house being flooded in coffee?
I remember very well the insane praise for Toy Story 3’s game when it landed. I also remember people being like “What a technical showcase!” for the SNES/Genesis game. And I remember Toy Story 2 getting like, 6s and 7s out of 10 upon release. Definitely a game that made the gaming press say “Adequate!” So I was very much NOT prepared to learn that it’s retroactively the most beloved?!? Never heard that before now.
So a 'fun' thing about the Zurg fight on PC is how his movement works. Its directly connected to the framerate apparently. Now on old PCs and the PS1 that's fine. 60fps wasn't a thing. But now... He's rolling around at the speed of sound, got places to go, gotta follow his rainbow
I actually had Toy Story for the GameBoy. I remember it being agonizingly difficult but I didn't have very many games for the thing. It was that, "Home Alone" "Wario Land" "Pokemon Blue" (until my brother begged me to borrow it and then lost it.....still haven't forgiven him lol) and "Metroid 2". I actually liked it as a kid because it was so hard that I would play it over and over again to try and beat it. I think I managed to beat it once or I got to the flying section lol. We rented Toy Story 2 for the 64 and I liked that game. I wasnt blown away by it but I liked it enough that I did beat it. (I had already played Banjo-Kazooie by the....the king of this era lol) Great vid as always Ant. I like these long form vids of yours that you have been doing. Can't wait to see where you go from here.
Great video Ant! ^^ And that’s especially a really cool figure. I should get my own Vinyl figures someday. What I think would be cool is getting a Toy Story game inspired by the opening of the second and third movies. My idea for it is where the story starts off with Woody’s Roundup where Woody, Buzz, and Jessie defend the town from the Evil Dr. Porkchop, One Eyed Bart, and One Eyed Betty, until the trio comes face to face with the Evil Emperor Zurg.
The reason movie/media video games have become a lot less common is because as the years have gone on, development costs have gotten too high for media companies to think the investment would be worth it.
the buzz lightyear star command game is more of a speedrunning type game encouraging you to get to the end before the enemy allowing you to have an easier boss fight.
It's like Ratchet & Clank mixed with Sonic R. I've never seen anything else in quite the same style. The closest thing is maybe some side quests in Watch_Dogs and inFAMOUS: Second Son.
I remember playing this one Toy Story game on my preschool's computers that was an interactive, point and click, read-a-long story of the first movie. I don't know if it was the activity center game or not, but I have very vivid, amusing memories of sticking toilet plungers on Buzz's face at the gas station.

Hello.
Now for your chance to cover the Disney series they want you to forget.
Spectrobes.
The Toy Story 2 remake is a wonderful idea. If Disney hear your ideas.
can you do a video about toy story mania trying to get high score?
You should go over the shantae series
Dude started talking about toys so much he literally became one
And we’ve got a friend in him
Yes lmao
He turned himself into a toy, funniest thing I've ever seen
@Emotional Damage every like you got, is another dog that you’ve shot in the head.
Toy story 3 video game is my favorite
Toy Story 3 coming out during the Ps2 era feels like one of those time facts you just can't believe... like Mammoths being around during the Pyramids.
I mean, to be fair, it came out moreso during the 360 and ps3 era. The Ps2 just lasted a ridiculously long time.
@@brianh7302 we can thank the wii for that generally speaking if the wii can play it a ps2 can as well so pretty much everyone that made wii games made a ps2 version
In Brazil, the PS2 was still very relevant
Just like how Samurai and Cowboys existed at the same time
WAIT HUH
My favorite fun fact about the franchise is that when they were making the Toy Story 2 Disney wanted them to make it direct-to-video so they had no staff. Even after convincing the higher-ups, they still had to hire people who knew how to animate the characters in a hurry. So they went down the hall to Disney Interactive, found the guy who worked on the Interactive Storybook of the first game (which is honestly pretty great), and offered them a chance to work on the movie proper.
And then lost the files except for 1 person
Despite all that, it's the best one
@@joshnunya324 the thing about that as well, even though the movie was recovered from the one employee, they still eventually scrapped it (I believe making it the second time they did it)
@@Oblivionitus It keeps getting worse 😂
@@joshnunya324 Yeah the other guy is right. The lost version ended up getting scrapped and they had to redo it
Apparently it was Pixar themselves who made the Interactive Storybook (which is why it looks so good and uses a lot of assets from the first movie) and Pixar had a little video game division at the time which they closed down when they needed the video game people to work on TS2.
That Nightmare Buzz boss fight was based on a unused scene from the original movie, where Woody had a nightmare about Andy finding Buzz cooler that him and leaving him out before moving out, leaving Woody alone to be overtaken by cockroaches. Development of licensed games was mostly around earlier draft of movie to develop the game in time, which would usually resolve in the content of the game being slightly or more diffenrent that the product they were based on. Also, a lot of Pixar movies unused scene are about the main hero having a bad nightmare. Strange coincidence, isn't it?
This sort of thing happens from time to time, like how a deleted scene from The Phantom Menace ended up getting adapted into Lego Star Wars: The Videogame.
Same thing for Revenge Of The Sith. The fake Jedi were only seen in the deleted scene. But still made it into the 5th level of episode 3.
Yeah, I think that deleted scene had andy being impressed by buzz's glow in the dark feature, and he wanted to see if woody also glows, which he didn't and then andy decided that he doesn't like woody anymore.
Lol i was totally thinking "Oh boy he is gonna talk about Toy Story 2, loved that game as a kid" when he hit me with the "I know you're here to talk about TS2, I´m not stupid"
That made me chuckle.
Major reason the Buzz Lightyear cartoon only lasted 4 months is because at the time they were premiering new episodes almost daily. Essentially the show was created for syndication and expected to only last that long, so in the very least it wasn't cancelled.
So a fate worse than death then...
Well that’s more depressing
first game is a side-scroller that uses 2D sprites, second game is a 3D platformer thats considered the best of the three, and the third game is a pretty fun adventure thats also in 3D. man, Rayman is such a good franchise
huh?
Theyre very similar with the 3 games
omg lol. but Toy Story hasn't been given to annoying pests and die and then come back as two platformers....... I mean it did come back in kingdom hearts but🤷♂
To me Rayman 2 is the least fun of the trilogy. Rayman 3 is just better imo and Rayman 1 is a load of nostalgia.
@@whazzup_teacup Caddicarus thinks the same of Toy Story so it still works!
7:49 Fun fact: That level is inspired by a deleted scene from the first movie that involved a nightmare from Woody. The idea would end up in Toy Story 2 but about Woody fearing of losing Andy..
19:43 There is a steam port of Disney Infinity where you have all the figures unlocked from the start without having to buy any figures or use that weird pad thing, and it is rather inexpensive especially if its on sale. Maybe check that out if you're interested? I definitely recommend it.
Edit: There are some characters missing from the game that were in the console versions like Ant-Man, Mad Hatter, Dory, etc. and there are some issues like no multiplayer or level sharing, but overall its still a great port IMO (thanks for letting me know Spacething7474 and FireYums). [There are also mods to put some of the characters back in, but I can't confirm if they work or not.]
It sadly didnt include the later figures, so no Zootopia and such.
@@StagFiesta There are 3 versions of the game on Steam: 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0, as well as a bundle which has all 3.
3.0 has all the characters including the Zootopia characters, which were only in 3.0. So that means 1.0 and 2.0 don't have all the characters unfortunately.
@@bensvideo oh for real? I should check it out
WHY ARE WE NOT FUNDING THIS??
HOLY HELL THANK YOU, I CAN REVISIT MY CHILDHOOD NOW WITHOUT BUYING ALL THOSE FIGURES
My uncle helped develop Toy Story 3. He did a lot of work on the toy box mode, and the dragon? The one you ride in the Bonny’s tree area? That was originally going to be a boss, until he was like “but what if you ride it instead?”
I got to play test it a bunch, and it was really cool seeing it grow. That game was also the inspiration for Disney infinity, and that specific team worked on the “Lone Ranger” set, which was considered one of the best of the first wave by critics. That uncle would be thrilled to know you liked the game!
This is actually so cool, if you see this could you tell your uncle that I absolutely adore this game and come back every few months to play it, it's just perfection
@@Monkomedia64 will do, I’m sure he’d love to hear that!

4:28 Alright, I do wanna talk about this for a second. The reason why KH3's Toy Box takes plays in a new mall is becuase it was a scrapped concept for one of the Toy Story movies. Pixar originally wanted to have one of the movies have this huge toy mall like we see in the games, but they couldn't figure out how to make it work so they scrapped it. When it came to the KH collab though, they revived it for the game. Sure it doesn't take place in Al's Toy Barn, but it's an old concept that they were able to bring back to live and I think that's really cool.
Interesting little tidbit: Jon Burton, the head of Traveller's Tales (who developed the game adaptations of Toy Story 1 and 2), has a UA-cam channel dedicated to showing off the various techniques the team used to develop their games, and the Toy Story 1 game in particular has a lot of fascinating elements behind its development. They utilized the Genesis's hardware in ways that didn't even seem possible when developing the game, particularly with some of the 3D-replicating effects and especially the music.
The channel's called "Coding Secrets", by the way.
wasnt it said in a skywalker saga article a few months ago that he was abusive and put the studio in crunch?
Wasn't Coding Secrets his secondary channel? His main one is named Gamehut. I remember finding it like 5 years ago by accident, he also has videos about coding for games like "Mickey Mania", "Sonic 3D Blast" or "Sonic R". I'm happy to not be the only one who remebers his videos. :D
@@Spacething7474 He left the company after 2015. I doubt he was part of the Skywalker Saga development.
I just wish he'd talk about Toy Story 2 in one of his videos. Lots of the first, but not the second.
The Toy Story 3 game was freaking great, and the evidence is that Disney Infinity was effectively just the Toy Story 3 game but other Disney properties. It was actually a competently designed platformer, it had memorable levels (that one level with the rising tea was too difficult as a kid though), and the open world toy box added so much more content on top of it since it was pretty much its own game. I just don't understand why they tried to make a movie tie-in game that good, but it sure did pay off in the end I guess.
Got it for the Wii
I actually enjoyed the DS version
Really like the Xbox 360 version
I really like Disney infinity as well i really want to try the pre courser to that.
Fun Fact: Woody's Nightmare was planned to be a scene in the film but it was scrapped. It is was common for video games based on films to include scrapped scenes because the games and films were often developed concurrently.
The Toy Story 2 game really does still hold up today. I agree, this game would do spectacularly well if it were given the remake treatment. TS3 is also still a very fun time.
Slime Time makes me think “Toy Story 2: The Secret Of The Ooze.”
TS2 needs a remake urgently. It's an extremely fun platformer.
I got a little more hopeful since the game is available on PS5 through that Plus Premium service, hopefully Disney sees the potential.
I disagree on it "holding up". I think nostalgia blinds us. The game is awesome, but controls like dogwater. I'm playing it on PS5 recently and the platforming is so janky, and the camera will never do what you want it to do. I think Super Mario 64 is still more fluid than this. Playing it on an emulator using save states and remapping controls can fix some of these issues and frustrations I'm sure, but just trying to play it the way it was intended is a bit rough these days.
I've rewatched it recently and Star Command while a bit goofy is still a lot closer to what Lightyear should of been. The feature length movie/pilot for it is pretty much exactly what they should of made instead of Lightyear.
I think Star Command is a lot funnier then expected. Sure it got some bad episode with aweful pale animation but other times it looks just like the pilot movie and Zurg is just wonderful. SUPER DEATH RAY!
@@Ahturos I feel like it captures the cheesy 90s feel that a ilghtyear movie/show should. Its believable to what Andy would've saw in theaters.
Yea lightyear was honestly just god awful trash.
Pretty much my only knowledge of Star Command is that, in one episode, Gravitina apparently straight-up calls Buzz a himbo and I don't think I'll ever recover from it
@@wandereringshadow8658 Indeed and that is why I prefer Star Command over Lightyear.
And after hearing they announced Toy Story 5, I wonder how much farther Disney will go to milk the franchise to oblivion.
19:44 Fun Fact: Disney Infinity 1,2 and 3 are all on Steam for like $18 as a bundles and they DON'T require the toy-pad or figures. It comes with all the campaigns and characters and everything. Definitely worth picking up as it's never on sale and it's honestly a great deal!
I'm glad to see Toy Story 3 getting the love it deserves.
No one ever talks about 102 Dalmatians: Puppies to the Rescue on PS1. Personally I'd rank that in the same tier as Toy Story 2 and A Bugs Life on PS1. Great game
that was one game that felt like it was actually better than the movie it was based on
That was my game when I was a kid! Thank you for the nostalgia 😊
i loved that game but it scared the shit out of me
I absolutely love the Buzz Lightyear Animated Series. It's genuinely more enjoyable than the film.
The only fun thing about the film was the damn robot cat. The pacing was atrocious and the plot was...less than stellar. BLoSC actually involved galactic travels, tons of aliens and robots, world-building, and consistently good comedy. It actually felt like a universe where Buzz Lightyear belonged, unlike the new film which I can only describe as the "current year's" attempt at putting the Pixar film "Up" into a hard sci-fi space setting by lazily ripping off the main concepts from movies like The Martian and Interstellar. It doesn't earn its attempts to tug at your heartstrings and it's nowhere near as fun and campy as the show. They even completely ruin Zurg.
You're both wrong. Outside of the opening of the movie & the TV Spin-Off Show openings, NOTHING ABOUT THIS SPIN-OFF IS GOOD!
@@thetrainmaster968 did someone piss in your cereal
I remember playing the Toy Story 3 game so much as a kid. Even when replaying it today, it still holds up incredibly well... at least for the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. The Wii version is heavily downgraded so it can fit on a Wii disk and run well on a Wii, and the PC version is just a port of the Wii version. If you have a PS3 or Xbox 360, get those versions instead.
Fun fact: After the success of the Toy Story 3 game, Avalanche Software had an idea for a sequel which would be based on Buzz instead of Woody. Some concept art was made for it, but at some point a higher-up from Disney came by and said "This game looks cool, but why restrict it to just Toy Story? Why not include multiple different Pixar franchises?" So the game was scrapped and they started working on Disney Infinity. Fortunately the concepts were utilized and included as a play set: Toy Story In Space!
Also for people who want to play Disney Infinity without having to spend hundreds of dollars on the figures, you can get Gold Editions of each of the 3 games on Steam that have all content normally locked behind figures unlocked from the start! They're very inexpensive and cost even less when on sale!

Dude I played the toy story 3 game on ds and it was so fun
I remember getting the Toy Story 3 video game at GameStop, and My Dad was super pissed. So I played the Toy Story 3 video game on my Xbox 360, and it was fun. Couldn't beat the second to last level though. I could've gotten the PS3 version because Zurg's a playable character in that version.
@@IamaPERSON Stop being useless and just report them.
@@Raidraptor_-_Ultimate_Falcon Stop keeping those kids in your basement, and report the bot.
I remember the commercial for the SNES/Genesis Toy Story that played at the beginning of a movie I watched as a kid. It was so cool looking! I particularly remember the balloon you pump in the first level and the LGM saying "HELLOOOO!" when you find him in the first person segment.

@@jameslawrenson1208 Caddy said he likes to focus more on livestreams than original content these days.
Caddy kinda became unhinged lol
Fun fact: since they didn't have enough big villains for the Buzz Lightyear Star Command game (since the TV show did not last long), they had to use background and nameless characters to put on the levels. That's why you challenge "Skreel" , "Marl" and "Snark"
I first bought Toy Story 3 on the Wii at first, and I would hear about these amazing things in the Toybox mode that I wanted to do but couldn’t. Then I got the Xbox 360, and it was so amazing! Doing all the quests and unlocking different features of the toy themes like the haunted mansion, space, and the fairies. I just let my imagination run around while I play this game.
Also, I know you didn’t talk much about Toy Story In Space in Disney Infinity, but I loved that game too. It was so much fun creating my own space station and exploring the planet and just seeing all those freaking adorable creatures, I mean have you seen them?! Ahem, excuse me. It’s one of my favorite story games on Disney Infinity, and it gives me nostalgia just thinking about them.
Reminds me of The Simpsons Movie Game - Played it on 360 with a friend, it's amazing, loved running around exploring the world map. Get it myself for PS2, no world map, only level select. I was salty as hell over that one.
I loved the little stuffed dragon they gave you in the fairy area. I remember naming it Puff the Magic Dragon
i actually prefer that version. i had it for the ps2. pure 3d platformer bliss
Toy Story 3 for the ps3 was an absolute classic. I used to play around in the town for hours just messing around. The Sid’s house stage used to scare me though.
I remember having the TS2 game on PS1, and despite playing it all the time, I was never able to beat it. To be fair though, that was the case with a lot of games from my childhood (Banjo Kazooie, DK64, etc.)
I still absolutely adore the TS3 game. I still return to it every now and then. It basically set the ground work for Disney Infinity.
11:06 Wait no you might actually be right about the inspiration for Metroid, seeing the badly plastered on buzz face does actually give me the same feeling of fear that I got when I first saw Samus in the reflection of her helmet.
I remember playing that PSP version of Toy Story 3 and used to get scared on Big Baby's face during the stealth mode in one of the levels. Maybe because of that PSP graphics that scared me. That and the Toy Monkey in the movie is a source of nightmare fuel.
@Emotional Damage BEGONE BOT!
Yeah, that face terrified me as a kid, but I had the Ps2 version compared to the PSP version.
The Toy Story 2 game is still one of my favorite 3D platformers of all time. It has such a good vibe and so many fun environments to explore. I spent countless of hours with that throughout several stages of my life.
Licensed games in the 90's and early 2000's really were a golden age, so many quality titles, especially the Disney games. Traveller's Tales really went out of their way to make fantastic Toy Story games (well, maybe not Buzz Lightyear of Star Command), and A Bug's Life. And Toy Story 2 will always be one of those games where I can keep coming back to and never get tired of it, a testament to a game's quality.
It is a bummer that we hardly ever get any licensed games these days, can you imagine what a new Toy Story game on the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series consoles could be like? That would be the closest we could get to Pixar quality visuals in a game, but it doesn't look like it was meant to be.
The Emperor's New Groove was also a really fun game. There is a hidden Good Fellas reference that I don't think anybody caught on to.
Same, as a kid.. i was no stranger to licensed games on my PS1 and PS2. I didnt care about the quality, if its a game based off of Toy Story, hey sign me up! It is a shame that there's not much of those games nowadays.. i guess it also helps that a lot of the kids movies nowadays i just dont feel too strong upon. I think the last disney movie i liked was Big Hero 6. And how they never made a console game for it, i will never understand
But hey, i guess there's always Kingdom Hearts coming in clutch. I have never seen the toy story world so vibrant and clear in that 2019 game. Feels like its actually from the movie
The only licensed games we get any games for are mega-franchises that usually have dozens and dozens of videogames already. Prepare for an endless sea of Star Wars, DC Comics, and Lord of the Rings games.
I bet the reason why the A Bug’s Life game hasn’t gotten a remake is because of Kevin Spacey. Think about it, there’s a villain who’s a menace towards children, and then there’s Hopper. Would you want to remake a game where a villain wants to touch kids inappropriately? No.
@@lucasgibbs4050 Yeah true
I respect you being freaked out by the trash monster.
I myself was absolutely, downright terrified of it, and needed one of my sisters to beat it for me to progress.
Toy Story 2 was the GOAT of all Toy Story games for me. To this day, I never get tired of speedrunning it 100%.
I remember getting it on PC that was bundled as part of a combo back with a Gravis gamepad pro and Disney's Hercules.

OMG ANT
YOU JUST UNLOCKED A MEMORY FROM YEARS AGO!!! I HAD TOTTALY FORGOTTEN ABOUT THAT GAME AT 32:34
That cutscene just made me remember, thank you very much
I have literally been playing the toy story 3 game this week lmao. it's still holds up from my childhood and is still really fun and surprisingly challenging at moments, even though I'm technically an adult now lol
Same even though I’m a teenager I still return to the game time to time and the toy box mode is really fun, especially while playing with two players
Same, I mostly mess around in toy box mode but I also still can’t get past the prison break level 🥴
21:16 Strangely enough, the PSP version is now available on the PS5.
Nice Retrospective Antdude, definitely fueling the nostalgia here!
Though if I could reccomend a particular Disney licensed franchise that has 2 amazing Video Games is arguably
"The Nightmare Before Christmas"!
(One on console(ps2 and Xbox original) and one on handheld(Gameboy advance))
If you wanna see one heck of a ride in terms of gaming, give these 2 a shot!(not to mention both games are completely different game genres, and both games are REALLY good too!)
I had Toy Story 2 on the pc when I was young, but I was not big into platformers. I remember that the game was actually pretty impressive, but it was HARD for me and even the graphics scared me at times. The garage was pretty much the furthest I could ever get.
This video also reminded me I actually never watched Toy Story 3...
If you don’t cry on toy story 3 you don’t have a soul
Go watch it!
Actually you can’t cry at the end of TS3 because you’d probably have your eyes dried out
I completely forgot that I owned the Toy Story activity center on my windows 98 as a kid. Holy crap dude, you just awakened a bunch of very fond memories with my baby brother. Thank you so much for that!
I'm required to tell this story on every review of Toy Story 2 GBC: When I was a kid, my mom, sister and I went to our new school for a conference/primer for the new school year. While the adults talked, the kids were in another room and I had my GBA with Toy Story 2. The event ends and my mom and sister go to the bathroom. I play the game waiting for them to get back, and I'm so focused on playing that I don't think to inform any of the exiting staff that we're still inside so by the time my mom and sister come out of the bathroom, we're temporarily locked inside the school. We got out in just a few minutes, but that cost me my Game Boy for quite a while.
So you lost your GBA for a while because the staff was incompetent and didn't check if people were still inside?
Cool beans
If anyone should be punished, it’s the staff for not checking to see if there was still anyone in the building like with cameras or something. The staff should’ve been able to know that without you informing them, or at least see you since you were still in there. You shouldn’t have been punished for someone else’s incompetence back then, and you shouldn’t now.
Buzz Lightyear of Star Command on PS1 was my first video game ever. I loved it so much when I was a kid, but going back as an adult, you can just feel how lazy it is. Still has amazing music.
Honestly all the PS1 Toy Story games have fantastic music.
Glad somone mentioned the music of that game! Its frankly amazing
21:06 That music from the DS version in the background just gave me so much nostalgia. Also, that tower defense mode is actually a lot of fun and really replayable.
the toy story 3 game was really nostalgic for me, I remember having trouble with the buzz level as a kid though and now I wanna play it again
I actually watched retro rebound’s retrospective on the toy story games yesterday but yours is honestly just incredible overall. Love every minute of your retrospective.
5:38 every time someone somewhere says they liked Simple Plan as a kid, ROCKED! Screams at the sky and he doesnt know why.
love that you're trying lots of new things in this vid, it really shows and came out incredibly good
Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure is probably the game I have the single most amount of nostalgia for in my life, it's sooooooooo good, glad to see it mentioned here
Toy Story Racer as well, I recently 100%'d it for the first time but it is SOOOOOOO tedious and easy once you are used to each map and their shortcuts
Well, thank you for at least _acknowledging_ Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. You did more than Disney is doing, which is a bit sad.
I never watched it but I think the animation looks nice
The New Lightyear movie F,N Sucks
It's honestly borderline lost media at this point.
@@BinglesP I remember renting the pilot movie on VHS from my library a few times and remember liking it
honestly even if they're never going to release it, I'd at least like an official explanation as to WHY. like. did you lose the footage/original frames so you can't make it HD or remove the Disney Channel logo? did somebody complain about a stereotype in it and now you're too scared of controversy to officially release it? (which I think is probably what's keeping the Aladdin cartoon in the vault) Did somebody big at Disney or Pixar put "do not ever release Buzz Lightyear of Star Command" in their will? Because the explanation that Disney execs just didn't like it doesn't make sense to me considering they've released plenty of other poorly-received stuff onto Disney+
When he brought up the activity center games, it flipped a switch in my brain I had long forgotten. I had one of those as a kid, and seeing it now is incredibly surreal.
My family gave me all of those fucking activity center games when i was a kid lol
The Buzz Lightyear of Star Command tv show was amazing!
yeah, I wish we'd gotten an actually fun game based off it instead of...that
@@the13throse I would have liked a 3D platfromer where you can play as all four space rangers, each with different abilities and gameplay.
Mira Nova was probably my favorite character that was introduced in this show.
I was so pumped when I got that game as a kid, thinking it would be a platformer like Toy Story 2. It was a very emotional disappointment.
Yep. I admit, I experienced this more as an early morning show IIRC but man, I really enjoyed Buzz's show!
I personally loved the Star Command series. Yeah it’s a product of it’s time, but it had potential for more.
You're wrong. Outside of the opening of the movie & the TV Spin-Off Show openings, NOTHING ABOUT THIS SPIN-OFF IS GOOD!
@@thetrainmaster968they're wrong for... liking something?
31:00 Seeing the reviews of Lightyear made me more interested in the show than the movie.
The show is almost objectively superior to the movie in every way (except visuals, obviously). A damn shame you have to pirate the show in order to watch it.
Lightyear is a fantastic movie the Internet just has a weird hate for it. The show is also pretty fun, but definitely done on the cheaper side and very goofy
23:29 i love this game with all my heart, I’m 99% sure that it was the first game I ever played! Thanks Toy Story!
I remember some incredible old Toy Story flash games that also used to exist on Disney's website, sadly in 2016, they all got the axe and vanished. I also miss the Phinneas and Ferb flash game that they also had, it had references to almost every episode in the series, but that one vanished in I think 2014...
Skip to 32:30 to see ALIEN POG 8y
Honestly, I'm glad you talked about the first three games Traveller's Tales made. The first movie's game adaptation was a HUGE technical achievement for the time. Jon Burton's made a couple videos on it over on his GameHut channel- they're well worth listening to!
I remember playing Toy Story 2 on the N64. It was one of the first games I played as a kid when my family immigrated to the states.
As a Toy Story 2 speedrunner I agree with this video and the Toy Story 2 speedrunning community is fully on board with wanting a remaster LOL Great video dude!
That footage of the Toy Story 2 Activity Center was so nostalgic. It was one of like 3 games we had for the big ass Macintosh family computer. I spent so much time messing around with that, having no clue what to do.

Toy story is my absolute favorite franchise ever since I was little! Also, I myself actually went to a Pixar convention and they told us how they animate stuff and it was fantastic!
I’m pretty uncomfortable with the first game’s title screen, Woody has that face like “Buzz Lightyear, you’ll have a friend in you soon.” The only thing Disney doesn’t show is Woody’s him.
@@lucasgibbs4050 true
Im still gobsmacked that Toy Story 3 was as enjoyable as it was, me and my brother had so much fun customising the town together!
I actually owned both Buzz Lightyear and Toy Story 2 on the Game Boy Color as a kid.
I distinctly remember how... not good they were.
The first two movies remain to be my favorite movies ever made! I started rewatching them for fun, and 4 is actually really fun to watch as well. I think I did recall playing Toy Story Kinect games, we’re really fun.
I just recently watched this buzz light-year cartoon on UA-cam with my family 🤣😁
I've watched this video at least FOUR times already. Thank you for all the content you put out and for covering at least ONE game I've played here. Haha.
Why do I have the feeling that this video was made just for that amazing opening joke
Dude literally woke up memories from my childhood I had completely forgotten about. I played Toy Story Racer, Toy Story 2, the Buzz Lightear cartoon game AND that Disney Skate thing (which I spent HOURS on because I thought it was super funny). Watching this became a much harder nostalgia trip than I expected and I'm grateful for it
For anybody who grew up with it like me, the founder of Traveller's Tales (the studio behind the Genesis Toy Story game) has his own channel where he talks about some of the tricks they used to pull that game off.

This video led me down the Gaming in Clinton Years rabbit hole, thank you for enlightening me on this.
fun fact the Disney infinity trilogy is actually on pc/steam and that version actually removed the toys to life gimmick altogether. So it plays like a proper video game now.
>PC gaming can't do that "toys to life" gimmick
See? Computers were the most frugal way to videogame, then as now.
Honestly was a huge fan of the animated Buzz Lightyear show. Didn't know it lasted only 4 months despite having two seasons.
You're wrong. Outside of the opening of the movie & the TV Spin-Off Show openings, NOTHING ABOUT THIS SPIN-OFF IS GOOD!
Not gonna lie, there was a period of my life, when I was like 5 or 6, where Buzz Lightyear of Star Command for PS1 was my favorite video game. Then my copy broke a few months after I got it.
the "even if i feel like i'm on something illegial while playing it" is played so well,it was honestly the best part of the video
Also, I figured out there is a slight benefit to beating the bad guys to the end of the course: if you do, then Nova will take out half of the enemies' shields for you.
Maybe just nostalgia, but man there is something about the style of those 2000s cartoons. Hand drawn and all, great voice acting too, even if it was just a spin off. Modern flash-esque cartoons just have a different feel.
This is probably the most on-time I’ve been to an AntDude video since he had a 6-note crescendo for his intro jingle
Fun Fact: The SNES version has “You’ve got a friend in me” as one of its songs, but it’s just unsused
6:56 Someone’s been watching Daddy Caddy.
17:09 That’s Mr. Evil Dr. Porkchop to you Ant!
I remember playing toy story 3 on my ds and wii. I usually just fooled around in the toybox on the wii and barley touched the single player. The tower defense game on the ds scared me for some reason, but the game was so easy that even as a 5-9 year old I could beat it. I replayed the games now and there still fun.
that two player on the Tower Defense has like NO lag. if only it was longer/harder to make it feel more fun.
I loved Toy Story 3 on the Wii as a kid. I spent so much time in the toybox.
I played the toy story 3 game for the wii so much and I loved it! But the psp version was always my favorite one, but not gonna lie...the Bonnie's house mission was always a bit strange to me- like what little girl imagines her house being flooded in coffee?
I remember very well the insane praise for Toy Story 3’s game when it landed. I also remember people being like “What a technical showcase!” for the SNES/Genesis game. And I remember Toy Story 2 getting like, 6s and 7s out of 10 upon release. Definitely a game that made the gaming press say “Adequate!” So I was very much NOT prepared to learn that it’s retroactively the most beloved?!? Never heard that before now.
20:46 now imagine if Toy Story 1 was on SNES Nintendo Online
So a 'fun' thing about the Zurg fight on PC is how his movement works. Its directly connected to the framerate apparently. Now on old PCs and the PS1 that's fine. 60fps wasn't a thing. But now...
He's rolling around at the speed of sound, got places to go, gotta follow his rainbow
I’m so glad you mentioned the Mirrorverse character design it’s absolutely amazing lol
I actually had Toy Story for the GameBoy. I remember it being agonizingly difficult but I didn't have very many games for the thing. It was that, "Home Alone" "Wario Land" "Pokemon Blue" (until my brother begged me to borrow it and then lost it.....still haven't forgiven him lol) and "Metroid 2".
I actually liked it as a kid because it was so hard that I would play it over and over again to try and beat it. I think I managed to beat it once or I got to the flying section lol.
We rented Toy Story 2 for the 64 and I liked that game. I wasnt blown away by it but I liked it enough that I did beat it. (I had already played Banjo-Kazooie by the....the king of this era lol)
Great vid as always Ant. I like these long form vids of yours that you have been doing. Can't wait to see where you go from here.
2:28 I remember watching the Buzz Lightyear cartoon! Now if only they could give us a Woody’s Roundup singing cowboy musical movie
Great video Ant! ^^ And that’s especially a really cool figure. I should get my own Vinyl figures someday.
What I think would be cool is getting a Toy Story game inspired by the opening of the second and third movies. My idea for it is where the story starts off with Woody’s Roundup where Woody, Buzz, and Jessie defend the town from the Evil Dr. Porkchop, One Eyed Bart, and One Eyed Betty, until the trio comes face to face with the Evil Emperor Zurg.
As awkward as the DS version of Toy Story 3 is, it will always hold a special place in my heart. Absolutely loved that game as a kid!
The reason movie/media video games have become a lot less common is because as the years have gone on, development costs have gotten too high for media companies to think the investment would be worth it.
the buzz lightyear star command game is more of a speedrunning type game encouraging you to get to the end before the enemy allowing you to have an easier boss fight.
It's like Ratchet & Clank mixed with Sonic R. I've never seen anything else in quite the same style.
The closest thing is maybe some side quests in Watch_Dogs and inFAMOUS: Second Son.
I remember playing this one Toy Story game on my preschool's computers that was an interactive, point and click, read-a-long story of the first movie. I don't know if it was the activity center game or not, but I have very vivid, amusing memories of sticking toilet plungers on Buzz's face at the gas station.
31:22 _Bruh!_ How could you not remember Booster or Mira or XR? That show was the _shit,_ man! _Patrick Warburton was the voice of Buzz!!!_
