Toy Story Soldiers
Sometimes the best way to figure something out is to do it yourself. That’s the conclusion animators reached while trying to figure out how to make the toy soldiers in Toy Story move most realistically.
Toy soldiers, as you know, are often glued to a small flat piece of plastic that helps them stand upright. The animators realized they couldn’t really make these soldiers run around in the film in a logical manner. The solution? Make their own board and glue shoes to it and try it out themselves. No doubt this made for some good laughs in the studio.
