Toy Story 2 Outtakes to Debut on Christmas Day

Following the success of the "outtakes" during the end credits of last year's A Bug's Life, Disney and Pixar have decided to add a group of hilarious all-new "outtakes" to Toy Story 2 beginning on Christmas Day. The "outtakes," which play along with the end credits for the film, involve the lead characters in assorted (and improbable) behind-the-scenes situations.

Commenting on the announcement, Cook said, "Last year's response to the `outtakes' from A Bug's Life was so overwhelming that John Lasseter and the team at Pixar have let their imaginations run wild with a whole new batch for the Toy Story 2 characters. They've come up with some really hilarious and memorable moments that moviegoers are absolutely going to love. It's the perfect gift for holiday audiences and 10 good reasons to go see this season's number one hit movie again."

Lasseter added: "We wanted to do `outtakes' with Buzz and Woody and the other toys for the original Toy Story but never got the chance. This time around, we've had a ball coming up with ideas and situations for those characters as well as the new characters in the sequel. We all love these characters so much and feel as if they're old friends."

Audiences can get a sneak peek at two of the outtakes by logging on to the ToyStory2.com or apple.com Web sites.

A Walt Disney Pictures Presentation of a Pixar Animation Studios film, Toy Story 2 has broken numerous box-office records since its debut on November 19th. The film grossed an unprecedented $81 million over the five-day Thanksgiving holiday weekend and, after 28 days of release, has a cumulative gross of $161,041,131.
