(#26) Barbie Was Meant to Save the Day in the First Film
During an elaborate action scene, Barbie was meant to swoop in and save the day!
Remember the scene in which Buzz and Woody chase the moving truck? Barbie was meant to rescue Woody and Buzz from Sid's dog, Sarah Connor in T2 style. Eventually However, Barbie was scrapped from the first film altogether due to licensing rights, and Woody's love interest was changed from Barbie to Bo-Peep.

Tom Hanks had so much fun playing Woody that he'd go off on tangents in character. Lucky for him (and the animators) they record the dialogue first and then get to animating.
John Lasseter explained: “In the process of making an animated film, we always record the dialogue before we do the animation so the animators can be inspired by the actor’s movements." Everything in the scene where Buzz loses his arm and Woody plays with it was added on after Hanks made it up on the spot.
He recorded so much extra (and usable!) stuff back in 1994 that they plan to use some of that dialogue in Toy Story 4.

(#13) Buzz Lightyear Almost Had a Very Different Voice
It's hard to imagine anyone other than Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear. However, before Tim Allen signed on, Billy Crystal was up for the role. In fact, he turned it down! He later said it was the biggest mistake of his career.(#27) Toy Story Wouldn't Exist If the Computer Hardware Market Wasn't So Competitive
Pixar started out as a computer hardware company long before it turned to animation! John Lasseter was an employee there even then, when they were trying to sell high end Pixar Image Computers. The whole thing was a flop, but Lassater had been doing animations to drum up interest in the computers and those were all a raging success... which led to Pixar's pivot to an animation studio.

Toy Story 2 was nearly lost in 1998 when, during a routine clearing of files, someone accidentally started a deletion of the root folder for the assets on Pixar's internal servers.
Oren Jacobs (one of the technical directors) was one of the first to notice as character models just up and disappeared from their works in progress. They quickly unplugged their file servers but had lost a whopping 90% of their two years of work. Worse yet, the backups were found to have failed some time previously.
That's when another technical director Galyn Susman, became a real life superhero. She had been working from home (taking care of her newborn), and realized she likely had backups of the assets on her home computer. The Pixar team was able to recover nearly all of the lost assets, save for the most recent few days of work.
