From the TS2 commentary:
Ash Brannon (talking about Zurg): Iâm kinda glad that our villian wears a skirt. (all laugh)

Yeah, I love that â3D money shotâ line. Bob is great. Not exactly a quote, but I loved the discussion about Bob coming up with Dugâs âI can smell youâ line, and Pete thinking âHuh??â and not thinking it would work. Oh, and following on Flik-Eâs post - I am so glad Disney named the hero of âMeet the Robinsonsâ Lewis, (thatâs the discarded name and the other movie involved) because Russell does not look like a Lewis, he looks like a Russell!
So Russell was going to be called Lewis at one point. Thatâs pretty cool. One thing I knew about Meet the Robinsons is that John Lasseter was the one who came up with the T-Rex saying his arms are too small (taken from Rex of course) so thatâs the other connection Pixar has with that film.
My other favorite line in that part of the commentary was when they point out how they randomly have a lever in Muntzâs blimp that tilts everything around.

Yes! That, too! The whole Up commentary is great because you can tell that Pete and Bob are having so much fun.
In the Art of Up book is an early line-up of rough sketches that shows the basic shapes of the main characters, and Russell is labeled as âLewis.â (Also, Ellie is labeled as âEleanor,â and is also referred to as âEleanorâ in another sketch in the book.)
I love Andrew Stantonâs countdown to fill in that gap in the wall-e commentary.
but I love Bob Petersonâs chips in Finding Nemo too.
to be honest I havenât seen all the movies with commentaries⊠theyâre very hard to find but I do love in toy story 2 when, I think is andrew stanton says that the villan wears a skirt⊠and also love the ending when they say we have to go finish monsters inc.
My other favorite line in that part of the commentary was when they point out how they randomly have a lever in Muntzâs blimp that tilts everything around.
When that came up, I immediately had to think about Yzmaâs famous âWrong lever!â/âWhy do we even have that lever?!â lines from The Emperorâs New Groove.
but I love Bob Petersonâs chips in Finding Nemo too.
Yet another reason why Nemo has one of the best commentaries Iâve heard
Just got Toy Story 2 Extended Edition, listened to the commentary and didnât really hear anything that caught my attention.
I disagree.
John Lasseter: I love Hammâs introduction because of the whole notion that lawn gnomes are alive as well; it just cracks me up.
Lee Unkridge: I think we need to do a whole movie about lawn gnomes.
Somebody: SHHHHH!
LU: Oh.
Somebody: Sorry.
JL: LEE?!
LU: Iâm fired, arenât I?
Andrew Stanton:
(Gee, I wonder if Gnomeo and Juliet was in early development at the timeâŠ)
AS: I just love death by monkeys.
Ash Brannon: When in doubt use monkeys and youâll be fine.
LU: Thatâs the credo I live my life by.
JL: Thatâs right. Lee loves monkeys.
(This might explain why the main characters are being chased by a stampede of monkeys in one Toy Story 3 sequence.)
JL: The dashboard is amazing on that car!
AS: They do it with computers.
I love Stantonâs cynical sense of humor about computers.
At the very end of Monsters, Inc. too, when Lasseter and Stanton start snoring and then suddenly wake up:
AS: Look it thereâs the castle already⊠quick before the Luxo lamp goes out say something profound⊠computers are really cool!!!
I just love all of the Toy Story 2 commentary, so take any quote from that. I seem to find myself constantly referencing it in my posts.
Oh gosh⊠it could take me a while to remember all the greats! I mean, I love every commentary! I recently got to see the Cars 2 one for the first time and I loved it, too; just wish I remembered at least one great line⊠If I had to pick a fave commentary, I might say the one for TS2. That one mustâve been so much fun to record! I know that whenever I get involved in animation, Iâll jump at any chance to get on the commentary! If I havenât already made that clear, I love commentaries!
I dont have the exact quote but I remember on the Nemo commentary when Andrew Stanton was getting teased for being on an after-school special called Dear Diary. Actually the Nemo commentary is still my favorite for being full of funny moments like that. Another was when they said Charles Nelson Reily was the 2nd most deadly creature in the world.
This isnât for a feature, but if any of you have Pixar Shorts Volume 2, check out the George and A.J. short with the commentary. I wonât spoil it, but itâs with Josh Cooley and someone else whose voice youâll probably recognize. Itâs quite funny!
I also like the Mr. Incredible and Pals one, which I know isnât a main short, but itâs still funny to hear Frozoneâs ranting.
So reading this made me realize how much Iâm missing out. My life needs more Pixar commentary!
I canât believe I forgot to mention this one sooner. Straight from the Brave commentary, I donât actually remember who said this, maybe Mark Andrews? There were a lot of folks on it. But talking about the sounds of the willâo the wisps, which have some sounds of whispering children integrated in it:
ââŠ'Cause nothingâs creepier than children whispering⊠unless itâs clowns whispering.â
^ That was my favorite line in the Brave Commentary.
I still need to check out the Brave commentary.
The A Bugâs Life commentary, where they start talking about how theyâll probably end up using John Ratzenberger in every movie, and how the Pizza Planet delivery guy lives in the trailer near the bug city. In hindsight, both comments are hilarious.
And the part of the end credits, where theyâre discussing how no one has any idea how they make these movies, so the outtakes will confuse everyone even more.

Is that real?? I need to watch the commentary right now.
