Amazing Live Action Toy Story Movie, Filmed By Two Pixar Mega-Fans

Incredible: two Pixar mega fans Jonason Pauley, 19, and Jesse Perrotta, 21, spent the last two years recreating the full Toy Story movie in "real", and they recently posted their finished movie on YouTube. They said that it was a labor of love" and it surely was considering not only the time that it took but also how well they did it.

The full-length film was shot on a consumer camcorder, using green screens, stop-motion animation, and old-fashioned puppetry. Actors were friends of Jonason or Jesse or acquaintances from church. But this live action Toy Story uses the audio track from the animated feature.

The most difficult scene was the final scene, where some of the toys are chasing Andy in the RV. To get the right shot with the dog and the moving vehicle had been apparently a nightmare. Jonason and Jesse went to Pixar Studios in Emeryville and gave to some Pixar employees Dvds of their finished movie, and apparently Pixar people were excited to see the result - pretty understandable, isn't it?

You, too, may be excited to watch this amazing live action Toy Story movie, so go ahead, here is the video.
