Toy Story 5 rumours are flying so it's the perfect time to take a second to remember the stomach-dropping story of how Toy Story 2 almost got completely deleted during the final edit stage. When I say completely deleted, I mean 90% of the film actually did get erased, almost throwing the project into complete disarray.
But how could this happen? Well, a Pixar employee accidentally ran a delete command on the film's servers, and horrified witnesses could only watch as a folder dropped form 40 files to just four files in seconds. Because Pixar's backup servers had been failing for a month, there was no recovery option. It seemed all was lost. Years of work down the pan.
