| quote = Yes, we worry about what the critics say. Yes, we worry about what the opening box office is going to be. Yes, we worry about what the final box office is going to be. But really, the whole point of why we do what we do is to entertain our audiences. The greatest joy I get as a filmmaker is to slip into an audience for one of our movies anonymously and watch people watch our film. Because people are 100 percent honest when they're watching a movie. And to see the joy on people's faces, to see people really get into our films... to me is the greatest reward I could get.

}}Before the film's release, executive producer and [[Apple Inc.]] co-founder [[Steve Jobs]] stated "If ''Toy Story'' is a modest hit—say $75&nbsp;million at the box office, we'll [Pixar and Disney] both break even. If it gets $100&nbsp;million, we'll both make money. But if it's a real blockbuster and earns $200&nbsp;million or so at the box office, we'll make good money, and Disney will make a lot of money."
