Just a quick little fan preservation I made from boredom while I was making my reconstructions. Ever since Dozer Davis found about that the Hulu print has the original logos, even though the ending ones are different, especially since the credits looks really identical to the Blu-ray, I decided to create a best quality version of what it would’ve looked like, since Hulu’s print is only 3GB.
When I got access to the print, I actually checked the audio to see what mix it is. Turns out it is the 2005 DVD mix, as seen here.
In fact, given that The Pixar Story has footage of the film that looks close to the Blu-ray, I think this Hulu print was actually made sometime in 2007, back when Disney had just started releasing films on Blu-ray. In fact, on the Blu-ray promo you can find on the US Cars DVD, I’m pretty sure I saw Toy Story being mentioned as one of their future titles, so maybe Pixar made this master originally for the planned Blu-ray, though likely because Disney wanted to pay respect to the Disney Vault gimmick they did to the 2005 re-release, the only way people can watch Toy Story back before the 3D re-release was on HD airings, though so far, the ABC HD rip I saw seems to be taken from the UTB DVD master because of how identical it is and how it uses the original theatrical mix, so I think the other masters that are now lost might actually use that rare master.
