When the producers of Toy Story were prepairing to make that breakthrough animated film, they asked various manufacturers if they could use their toys in the film. The one toy they could not get was GI Joe.

"The comapny executives didn't want us inspiring kids to blow up GI Joe," explained Andrew Stanton, co-creator of Toy Sotry. "We tried to point out to them that if boys blew up their GI Joes, they would have to buy new ones."

In the end, Toy Sotry used the little green army men instead of GI Joe.
