It can be assumed that Al's favorite snack is cheese puffs, considering that there were a few in his trunk as Woody was being stolen, some on his office desk as the toys were searching for Woody, and he had a whole bowl of them which fell on the floor as he was snoozing in his apartment. This could also explain why he's obese. See more »

Alternate Versions
The supplemental disc of the Ultimate Toy Box DVD set includes two deleted scenes:
The original version of the scene where the toys cross the street. Originally, this was set in the suburbs of the town, but was later changed to a street in town.
The Toys play something like "Godzilla" with Rex roaring and kicking some houses, the soldiers "evacuating" the other toys and Buzz fighting against Godzilla Rex. Because of Rex' clumsiness Woody is thrown out of the window and lands in a carton from the yard sale. This was changed and rewritten to the scene as seen in theaters because it was deemed too coincidental.
This has to be by far one of the cleanest and most well-designed movie to come from any studio for a while now. The plot is trim and concise and this film is not just for kids, there are plenty of grown-up themes to satisfy even critical viewers. The animation is tremendous, especially if you pay attention to the details, and the cameo from Geri and the underlying Star Wars spoofs are just great. All in all, one of the best films I've seen to date. Just one disappointment, no outtakes during the credits. But still, I don't think I'll forget this one for a while, if you get a chance to see it in the cinemas don't miss it...
