Located in an undisclosed area , the Pixar Archives are a sight to behold for any and all liveliness and pic fans , especiallyPixarfans . During our visit to Pixar forToy Story 4 , we were guided through the Pixar Archives by lead historiographer Christine Freeman , who was more than enthused to share the story of Pixar Animation and the studio ’s unique assets with Screen Rant and other entertainment news outlets . And we get word quite a minute .

While the current locating of the Pixar Archives is a secret - it used to be situate near the Port of Oakland - it ’s interesting to mark that the building itself is bid Queens . This is in preserve with Pixar ’s worldwide base of train brainchild for construction and location names from the five different boroughs of New York City . And the Pixar Archives construction is befittingly called Queens because the staff is comprised primarily of women .

Inside the Pixar Archives , mass will see materials that were used in the making of every Pixar film - art , pencil drawings , sculptures , models , paintings , toys , and more - which have been accumulate and preserved . Some materials , of course , are in much nifty status than others - and the one that are deteriorate are kept in disjoined elbow room . But all the materials in the Pixar Archives map the studio apartment ’s history , from when they first commence out making computer software to developingToy Story 4 . They even save certain mechanical press trim .

It ’s genuinely astonishing to see what went into the making of the originalToy Storymovie almost 30 days ago . Everything from the original book rough drawing to Pete Docter ’s wooden board with old shoes taped to it , the latter of which was used by the creative team to mold how the USA soldiers would take the air and run . In fact , there ’s entail to be a video of it on one of the Blu - rays , and Freeman jest about it finally show up onDisney+ . fall in thatToy Storyis a Disney motion-picture show , it just might one sidereal day .

But there ’s more toToy account ’s story than just an old wooden control board . Freeman explains that the musical theme for the motion picture develop out of John Lasseter’sTin Toyshort film from 1988 , which won an Academy Award for Best Short Film . Disney was taken by the short film , and the studio apartment end up funding a full - length version ofTin Toy , which ultimately became fuck asToy Story . And the characters of Woody and Buzz Lightyear , and subsequently Jessie , evolved throughout the scripting procedure into who they are today .

Sidious, Tyranus, Maul, and Vader.

Interestingly , Woody was originally supposed to be a ventriloquist dummy with a puff - bowed stringed instrument . While the character retained his pull - string in the final plastic film , the ventriloquist part was removed . And now , after all these old age , Pixar is finally allowing themselves to introduce a straight ventriloquist dolly inToy Story 4 . One of the characters - or , more accurately , one of the baddie - is a ventriloquist skirt nominate Benson . He ’s the right - hand man to the film ’s true baddie : Gabby Gabby . It ’s only natural that Woody come into contact with them at various point in time in the fresh storey .

And the Pixar Archives contains stuff that shows the design progression for some of these character . In fact , the original carving forToy Storycharacters like Woody and Bo Peep , which were made out of clay and afterward baked , are still in the Pixar Archives . Other carving , however , were made the " normal " style - though that does n’t mean they are any less authoritative .

While the Pixar Archives is where everything is lay in for guardianship and preservation , animators , writers , manager , and so on , chance themselves visiting the Archives every now and then to canvas up on premature films . But ever since Pixar began digitizing their inventory ( which they are very much still in the process of doing ) , just Disney has been doing for yr , Pixar employee may obtain themselves visiting the non - descript building less and less . But anyone ever has the chance to step inside the Pixar Archives , they should n’t waste the opportunity as it ’s absolutely special .
