* TorchTheFranchiseAndRun: The series ended with Woody and Buzz parting ways in Toy Story 4 in order for Pixar to prevent any more sequels from being made so that the series wouldn't decay, especially since the third installment is considered a ToughActToFollow.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Um1JCzdvgo&t=884s On one YouTube video of gameplay of the PC port Toy Story video game,]] lead programmer Dave Hathaway commented on the slight troubled production of the PC port. Apparently, Hathaway couldn't get the source code owned by Creator/TravellersTales, and Disney didn't want to pay money for using it as a reference. Because of this, he had to sit down and play the game over and over to mimic its behavior, as the graphics were taken from the SNES version and updated to 256 color. 3D effects were also planned for the game but were taken out due to slowdown. The game also had a very tight deadline, and had to be released as a tie-in to the movie's home video release in stores. Despite all this, Hathaway still was grateful and proud for working on the project.

*** Woody's original voice actor Creator/CarlosSegundo left over a salary disagreement with Disney and he was replaced by Arturo Mercado Jr. (the real-life son of Hamm's Mexican voice actor Arturo Mercado) for the third film.

** In Japan, Hamm and Slinky will receive new voice actors for ''Toy Story 4'' following the deaths of Creator/ChikaoOhtsuka and Creator/IchiroNagai.
