If I recall correctly, the TS2 commentary on the DVD points out that while itâs not very probable that Al would have a new commercial filmed and aired the day after he flies to Japan, the contrast with the earlier commercial was so satisfying that they decided to ignore that fact and do it anyway.
Yeah, good point. Either he wants money off the Roundup Gang because heâs in debt, or just very greedy that heâs never satisfied until heâs as rich as he can possibly be.
Al lives in a luxurious penthouse, and owns a chain of successful toy stores. I donât think heâs in debt.
Hey, The Chicken Man, did you create the opening sequence with the words using Star Warsâ new Crawl Creator game?
Pretty dark, but funny.
I think what happened is due to Woody and Jessieâs actions in the plane someone detected a disterbance and made an emergency landing. They found the open suitcase and told Al, who made a call to the Museum telling what happened and they ended the deal.
Do you think Al ever went on eBay? lol
Dinoco- What youâre saying does make sense, but itâs surprising how people who can appear to have lots of money sometimes donât. Al may have squandered a lot of money away, perhaps the business suddenly isnât doing so well, the rent on his flat might have increased, and all those little things can lead to debt. I mean, there must be a reason why he was so desperate to get the money from the Woodyâs Roundup toys, and itâs either that he actually needs the money, or heâs just plain greedy. Probably the latter, saying that.
i once had this idea where Al, desperate for money, buys whatever he can from Andyâs, seeing as he got rare woody there. But upon seeing itâs not worthy of a museum, donates it to sunnyside.
Hmm, that makes sense. Maybe that could be the reason why he was filming a commercial the next day.
Wow, from that video I noticed that the logo for Alâs Toy Barn is the same font/style as the original âToy Storyâ logo scheme, from the original trailers.
The way Pixar made it out, Al just wants MORE money from the Woodyâs Roundup Gang deal, but heâs also guaranteed to have spent a lot of money just on the other merchandise.
The only thing is that had there been good intentions by Al, that would change his character.
That video was really funny and creative, if slightly morbid.
I think he just got one with his life and it was the same. A toy collecter, greedy and un married.
It is? Funny, I never noticed.
Iâd like to see even though he doesnât even own the store anymore, that heâs still stuck doing ads in that chicken suit
Al regularly comes on this website to find out where he can purchase Woody, Bullseye, and Jessie dolls by Thinkway Toys. Unfortunately for him, every time he goes to a store he finds that they are sold out.
Convenient.
I think Al has just been sat in a basement all these years producing a replica of the round up gang, but is still yet to perfect bullseyeâs eyes and woodyâs stand/neck problem!
I can see him doing exactly that. Calling TRU looking for them, putting them on hold, but they donât have them when he goes to pick them up. âWhat do you mean you canât find them? I called 45 minutes ago, and you said you had a Bullseye!â
or âHi, do you have any of Jessie in stock? Sure iâll hold. What? You do? Iâll be there in 20 minutes! Uh,⊠Uh,⊠Donât Touch My Moustace!â
Yes, I do realize I almost exactly copied the call in the movie. Didnât do it on purpose, it just happened. except for the moustache
