The first episode of the series, Hawaiian Vacation, was first announced by Lee Unkrich in July 2010. As quoted: "We have announced we're going to do a short film in front of Cars 2 that uses the Toy Story characters. We're going to keep them alive; they're not going away forever."Closing Up the 'Toy' Box?On February 3, 2011 Tom Hanks recorded new dialogue for Woody as seen in his tweet on Twitter: "3 directors boss "Woody" around for Toy Story shorts. Come on, guys!", meaning he was recording for more than one episode.
==Trivia==
*Tom Hanks' tweet, followed by a link to the third image above on the right, suggests that Angus MacLane, Bobby Podesta, and Mark Walsh will direct one or more of the Toy Story Toons. Each Pixarian mentioned is a proven leader - one director and two supervising animators, respectively. MacLane directed Small Fry, and Walsh directed Partysaurus Rex, leaving Bobby Podesta the possible directing chair.
*The series has been created due to the enormous success of Toy Story 3 and constant requests from fans for a fourth film.
*This is one of the few times that Tom Hanks returns to voice Woody in a bit of Toy Story media that is not a feature film.
*The official Toy Story Toons website includes information about Toy Story of Terror! and Toy Story That Time Forgot, both of which are not part of the series.
