TODAY'S MYSTERY QUOTE
QUOTE: "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow
old because we stop playing."
HINT: (1856-1950), Irish playwright, the only person to
have been awarded both a Nobel Prize for Literature (1925)
and an Oscar (1938), for his contributions to literature
and for his work on the film Pygmalion.
***********************************************************
RANDOM TIDBITS
Tinny, the one-man-band character from the Oscar-winning
Pixar short Tin Toy, was supposed to be a star of 1995's
Toy Story. But he was deemed too antiquated. A military
action figure was suggested before filmmakers settled on a
space toy.
***
Old-fashioned cowpoke Woody began life as a ventriloquist
dummy, but his hinged jaw was deemed too "creepy." John
Lasseter, director of the first and second Toy Story films,
instead turned him into a pull-string doll inspired by his
own talking Casper the Friendly Ghost stuffed doll. Woody's
name honors Western actor Woody Strode.
***
Early on, new-fangled spaceman Buzz Lightyear was known as
Lunar Larry. His first name pays tribute to Apollo astronaut
Buzz Aldrin.

VIDEO CLIP
Clips from Toy Story 3
Come watch these clips starring Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and
the gang in the ever so funny movie...TOY STORY 3.

***********************************************************
In the original Toy Story, Woody's personality was abrasive
and sarcastic. After a test screening went badly, he was
reworked into the flawed yet dedicated leader that he is
today.
***
Originally, Barbie was supposed to rescue Woody and Buzz
from Sid, the vicious kid next door. But Mattel refused to
grant permission for her use, only to let her appear in the
sequels. Instead, Woody saved the day.
***
Buzz started off as a Dudley Do-Right superhero given to
grand gestures. But when Tim Allen joined the voice cast,
the spaceman sounded more like his Tool Time guy from Home
Improvement. "Tim came up with the idea of playing him like
a blue-collar cop," says Lee Unkrich, director of Toy Story
3, who has worked on all the films.
