In 1998, Pixar was getting ready to release Toy Story 2. The film was nearly complete and final edits were being made. But when someone hit the wrong button, the movie’s files began to disappear. Oren Jacob, the former chief technical officer at Pixar, was an assistant technical director on the movie. In 2012, he told the story of how he watched on helplessly as Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Mr Potato Head, Hamm and Rex vanished before his eyes. “Unfortunately, someone on the system had run the command at the root level of the Toy Story 2 project and the system was recursively tracking down through the file structure and deleting its way out like a worm eating its way out from the core of an apple.” Jacob and Galyn Susman, who was the supervising technical director at the time, then discovered that the back-up files had failed to work for the past month. Luckily, Susman had been working from home a lot because she had a newborn baby, so the team realised it was possible that she could have a more recent back-up on her home computer.

After all the efforts to save Toy Story 2, most of the original version of the film ended up being chucked out anyway. Bosses didn’t think the movie was good enough and it was remade. “Effectively all animation was tossed,” said Jacob in the interview. “Effectively, all layout was tossed. So all camera work would start from scratch. Lighting was in the film a little bit, but that was tossed as well. We had to build new characters. “So at that point, Buster showed up. And that character went from being out to being in the screenplay to in the final screen in nine months. “That’s a fully animated quadruped… On the fly. And most of the humans in the film and show. All the background extras in the airport at the end.” He added: “They were all built and assembled then. And all the effects work was added to the film. The opening of the film, which is Buzz playing with the robots, which I spent a lot of my time working on, where Buzz blows up a quarter-million robots with that crystal… that explosion. That was all added in that pitch as well. It started from ground zero… “That was probably one of the biggest tests of what Pixar was as a company and a culture we ever went through.”
