It was an idea that had been discussed in the Doc McStuffins writers’ room since at least season 2. “We have ideas floating around sometimes for years before we use them, and that’s the benefit of being on a long-running show,” Creator Chris Nee says.
It wasn’t until Nee received a call from Pixar that the words “Toy Story” found their way into the mix. “He was like, ‘Why haven’t they done a crossover with Toy Story?'” Nee recalls. His response? “That is an excellent question.” From there, the conversations with Pixar began. And thanks to an early season 5 renewal from Disney Junior, the show suddenly had enough lead time to make it a reality. “The script was finalized and the guys recorded their parts I believe in March of this year and it will air probably about March of next year,” Nee says.
As for the episode itself, Nee continues, “It’s going to be an episode of Doc McStuffins with a visit from Toy Story. It’s not going to be an episode of Toy Story with a visit from Doc McStuffins. It’s more adult than your average episode of Toy Story.” Chris Nee adds, “Woody, Buzz, and the Rest of Andy's Toys are the marquee this year. The script really works. It’s just going to be great.”
