Many years ago, Disney (via Circle 7 Studios) began work on Toy Story 3 and Monsters Inc. 2 without the involvement of Pixar.
But when Disney bought Pixar for billions of dollars, development on the sequels was halted and all creative and production duties were returned to Pixar.
Now, years later, we finally get to see what the cancelled Monsters. Inc sequel would have looked like.

Day & Night is a Pixar animated short film directed by Teddy Newton. It was shown in theaters before Pixar’s Toy Story 3. Unlike most other Pixar shorts, the animation style combines 2D and 3D elements, and Up production designer Don Shank says it is “unlike anything Pixar has produced before.” It has been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Short.
A message of hope from employees at Pixar Animation Studios. Part of the It Get’s Better campaign.
Cars 2 will race into theaters nationwide on June 24, 2011.
Here is the official synopsis:
Star racecar Lightning McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson) and the incomparable tow truck Mater (voice of Larry the Cable Guy) take their friendship to exciting new places in “Cars 2†when they head overseas to compete in the first-ever World Grand Prix to determine the world’s fastest car. But the road to the championship is filled with plenty of potholes, detours and hilarious surprises when Mater gets caught up in an intriguing adventure of his own: international espionage. Torn between assisting Lightning McQueen in the high-profile race and towing the line in a top-secret spy mission, Mater’s action-packed journey leads him on an explosive chase through the streets of Japan and Europe, trailed by his friends and watched by the whole world. Adding to the fast-paced fun is a colorful new all-car cast that includes secret agents, menacing villains and international racing competitors.

Toy Story 3 Director Lee Unkrich and screenwriter Michael Arndt join NPR’s Terry Gross for a 37 minute discussion about the Toy Story trilogy, coming to DVD and Blu-ray Disc November 2.
“Ultimately, we wanted to treat this third film like the completion of a saga, as if we had been telling one grand story of the course of the three films,” Unkrich says. “So what we arrived at was that it was vital to have Andy grown up and be at that transition where the toys were no longer being needed or wanted or loved.”
