Hello & welcome back to A Look at Disney Opens The Toy Box and our second of the three Villains Profiles.  Let me make something clear, while there are two villains in Toy Story 2, I will not be doing a Villains Profile for Al because while he is important,  I’d rather focus on the characters that I consider to truly be the main antagonists and in the case of Toy Story 2, that’s Stinky Pete. As always, this’ll include Voice Actor,  Entrance, Personality, Grand Desire, Most Evil Deed, Demise, & finally, Is Stinky Pete A Good Villain? With that outta the way, let’s begin.

Hello & welcome back to A Look at Disney Opens The Toy Box. And after a two year hiatus,  Screen To Stage returns. And I am so sorry that it had to return with this. In the past,  Broadway has had a bad habit of adapting non-musical movies into stage musicals. Such examples include Ghost, Footloose, & Dirty Dancing.  And while most of the Disney on Broadway productions are adaptions of musical movies, Disney has ventured into this territory before at Disney World and with another Pixar film as they gave us, Finding Nemo: The Musical.  Which you may recall that I reviewed and spoke positively of.   The biggest thing that Finding Nemo: The Musical had in it’s favor were it’s songwriters,  Robert and Kristin-Anderson Lopez.  If those names sound familiar, it’s because they wrote the music for Frozen.  And even before they worked with Disney,  they had a Broadway background.   From the little information,  I can find on the songwriters for this show,  it doesn’t appear that they had any prior work  writing for a stage musical.  That explains why the songs are so bad.  Now, this isn’t the first time that I have looked at this as years ago before Screen To Stage existed, I did a multi-part blog on Toy Story: The Musical but I always knew that if I were to do a Toy Story month, I’d have to return to this… thing and give it, the Screen To Stage treatment.  Now,  Screen To Stage was originally meant to be reviews of Disney stage productions that I’d seen in person. However, I did not actually see Toy Story: The Musical in person but seeing as it’s been uploaded onto YoutTube and I’ve now watched it twice for this blog, I think I can make an exception here.  As a reminder, of what we go over on Screen To Stage, we look at What’s The Same, what did they keep from the movie, What’s Different,  what changes were made.  New Music,  this is a look at songs that weren’t included in the original movie and because I want to get this over with, we are skipping reprises. And finally, My Final Thoughts.  Which can be summed up like this…
