### Future Episodes

According to an online catalog from ***Disney Publishing Worldwide***, two new episodes were currently in development, as well as that all episodes would be shown on TV in ***2012*** and beyond. One of the two upcoming episodes was called *Mythic Rock*. Neither episode was materialized and therefore was presumably canceled.

## Production

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."
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.
