Next, this isn’t exactly a new story, but it’s a good one if you haven’t heard it. There was a near disaster at Pixar Animation when Toy Story 2 was accidentally deleted from the studio’s computers when there was less than a year left before it was released. It all started with Woody’s hat, and let’s just say that this person learned a valuable lesson in the process. Hear the whole story from Austin McConnell.
