![Pixar director Lee Unkrich accidentally threw out his wife’s childhood toys. And then it became the inspiration for Toy Story 3. “About a month after we moved, she 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.”](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lg3liaxFSz1qd9dz2o1_500.jpg "Pixar director Lee Unkrich accidentally threw out his wife’s childhood toys.
