Playing with Toys -- Part I : Funky Filmmaking in Frogtown

I believe that's Billionaire Steve Jobs. :-)

Great story! Can't wait for Part 2. Amazing when you think of what Pixar produced vs. what Disney produced with their neat offices and two pins.

Wow, great article! I've read elsewhere about TS2, and how it happened to become a feature rather than direct-to-video...but I won't spoil it here. I'm sure there are many details to come. Hurry up, Part 2!!!!

Love the backstory, Floyd! The "Sequel Stigma" you spoke of reminds me of working on the "B" picture, "Lion King" rather than on the "A" film, "Pocahontas".

Real curious about that first draft script by Steve Boyette. Hope Floyd will share some of that with us. Like to learn more about how the story got all the great things.
