NPR Fresh Air: Director Lee Unkrich, on coming up with the idea for Toy Story 3 after he accidentally threw out his wife’s stuffed animals: “About a month after we moved, [my wife] asked me if I had seen her beloved stuffed animals, and I said, ‘What box were they in?’ And she said, ‘They weren’t in a box. They were in a garbage bag.’ And my blood instantly ran ice cold. I immediately realized what had happened: I had thrown all of her stuffed animals away in the dumpster behind our building. I feel terrible to this day that that happened, but I do hope that by immortalizing that moment in the movie, that [her stuffed animals] have somehow been immortalized themselves.” From tragedy, art.
