Some decisions may have not been technically correct back then but somehow made sense. "It was interesting how vivid in memory those characters are to John," Quaroni adds. Turns out that the data was not stored properly, so, during the conversion, there was a tiny scale adjustment of 0.5%. However, Quaroni insisted they were the same. While comparing models in an early review, John Lasseter pointed out that the new Buzz was wrong- he was smaller. Quaroni tells a funny story about the new and old Buzz. At times you could tell the difference: the shading was better, there was less intersection, better expression on the face because it was denser or had a lot more points." "We made it loadable and then we remodeled, re-shaded and re-articulated the while always matching poses from Toy Story 2. "But the advantage was we had the best designs of the originals from Toy Story 2," Quaroni suggests. He suggests the first order of business was rebuilding the original toys from scratch. The primary responsibility for that rested with Guido Quaroni, the supervising TD who worked on Toy Story 2 as a modeler and shading artist. It should just feel like a Toy Story film." You can definitely see the progression, but if you watch Toy Story 3 on its own without having watched the others, unless you're a real animation aficionado, I challenge anyone to know that it feels any different at all. I think if you play the films side-by-side, you can see the differences. Woody is a rag doll and moves the same way- it's Woody. We didn't stick to them completely because some of the animation we did on the earlier films is not as smooth or subtle, but if you step back a minute, Buzz is still Buzz. We studied the early films and what made up the essence of movement for every character - what defined them. "In the end, we just hued very close to the design grammar of Toy Story in terms of how characters and sets and props were caricatured, but just made everything more visually rich: the lighting is more sophisticated, the texturing is much more sophisticated. "We wanted the film to feel like a Toy Story film but look every bit as gorgeous as anything we've done recently," explains Toy Story 3 director Lee Unkrich. The biggest challenge of Toy Story 3 - for both Pixar and the characters - was unifying past and present and accepting the inevitability of change. Lee Unkrich (Foreward to The Art of Toy Story 3 by Charles Solomon from Chronicle Books) But one thing we have all retained is a childlike sense of wonder - as well as the firm belief that when we're not around our toys really do come to life. We've experienced many life-cycle events: graduations, weddings, births, and funerals. In the years since we made the first Toy Story, we've all gotten a little older, and hopefully a little wiser.
