Not a day goes by where I don't kick myself for not seeing Curious George in theaters. It was a simply beautiful looking film.
Anyway, I saw those Colored Crayons of Heroic Product Placement City displays at TRU. The DVD is available as well now (went straight to it), and I can't tell if anyone's actually buying it or not. Hopefully we'll see something on TVTropes or something about it being awful or campy.
The version was so bad, it almost killed the movie. Pixar did everything in their power at the time to get the good version we know and love out there. Even then, Woody's much much more mellowed out in the sequel. He retained a smidge of jerkiness, but they made it more of a psychological self failing that he owns up to rather than "OMG! That is so fawnieeee! Toys are mean to each other... Yok yok yok! Mr. Mashed Potatohead! That's sharp wit that a three year old could never think of right there."

I've never heard of that version of Toy Story.
