How Toy Story 2 Almost Got Deleted. Well for one it was a mistake. Thankfully a case of workaholism saved the day.
Not just any movie but Toy Story 2 the sequel to Disney and Pixars biggest hit film of all time. The team pulled together got their sleeping bags and worked in 8-hour shifts around the clock to restore the films remaining assets over the weekend. How Toy Story 2 Was Almost Deleted.
Today J dives into Pixars History and tells the story of how they almost almost deleted themselves from existence.
This is actually a similar blunder that Pixar experienced almost deleting Toy Story 2 prior to its release. It has emerged that staff at Pixar nearly deleted the animation for Toy Story 2 after someone mistakenly ran a command that removes everything on the file system. Wait until you hear what happened and how they managed to recover it. As someone who has definitely had my share of data losses due to dumb mistakes I relate to this SO hard.
