Second time Jim Hanks (Tom's brother) has voiced Woody in an official film, after the direct-to-video release 'Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins (2000)'. Previously he provided the voice of Woody almost exclusively for toys and video games.
This is the first Toy Story short film to be produced in 2.35:1, unlike the Toy Story short films were produced in 1.85:1.
