Cider is very independent...and by independent, I mean all he needs is his heating pad. Seriously, it's like he's going you a favor by letting you pet him. Who does he remind me of?

Toy Story facts

BuzzFeed put together 33 fun facts that you probably didn't know about the Toy Story trilogy. I only knew one of them, good stuff. Here were my favorites:

1. Toy Story 3 is the only Toy Story film not to receive a 100% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It still however received a relatively high score of 99%.

17. Pixar presented an early draft of the film to Disney on November 19, 1993. The result was disastrous. The film was deemed unwatchable. It presented Woody as a “sarcastic jerk” who was constantly insulting the other toys. Disney immediately shut down production pending a new script. The story team spent a week on a new script to make Woody a more likable character, instead of the “sarcastic jerk” he had been.

27. The green three eyed aliens have a circled pizza (pepperoni and mushroom) on their fronts.
