You've got to remember that in this time of year, 1993, what was considered a successful animated picture was "The Little Mermaid," "Beauty and the Beast," "Aladdin," "Lion King." So when we pitched "Toy Story" to Tom Hanks for the first time, he walked in and he said, "You don't want me to sing, do you?" And I thought that epitomized perfectly what everybody thought animation had to be at the time.
Recuerden que en ese año, 1993, se consideraban exitosas animaciones como "La Sirenita", "La Bella y la Bestia", "Aladín" y "El rey león". La primera vez que le propusimos "Toy Story" a Tom Hanks se acercó y dijo: "¿No querrán que cante, verdad?". Y creo que resume perfectamente el pensamiento de la época sobre qué debía ser una animación.
