thinking about how the first draft of Toy Story had Woody written as just an absolute mother fucker and has been described as “one of the most repellant things you’ve ever seen on screen, i mean you couldn’t WATCH it” because he was that much of an asshole

did you know that woody was so much of a shithead that it almost got the film CANCELLED? it was mostly from a storyboard reel he was in called the “Black Friday Reel” named after the day it was aired. so this reel was shown to studio executives and it was a scene that showed a different take on how buzz would get knocked out of the window. the execs were disgusted by what they saw that they nearly shut down the production of Toy Story, with the production team requesting for two weeks to rework everything out and make the film better. plus John Lasseter and Tom Hanks also hated Asshole Woody. so you may be thinking “how bad was the Black Friday Reel?” well… see for yourself 

I remember seeing that the Black Friday Reel was some elaborate way to get Katzenburg fired. And if that’s true then they went above and beyond.
