Woody and Buzz star in a Google Search Story
June 8, 2010
Hopefully some of you have seen one or two of our Search Story
videos
. We’ve been blown away by the creativity and brilliance of everyone that shared their own search story using the
Search Stories Video Creator
. It’s been a pleasure to see how all kinds of people use search to tell tales—whether silly, inspiring, true or imagined.
It seemed like the next logical step was to ask the world’s best storytellers to get involved, so I called up my friend at Pixar. He liked the idea, the writers at Pixar were into it—and a few days later, we were brainstorming with the minds behind
WALL-E
,
Finding Nemo
and, of course,
Toy Story
. We’re huge fans of their work, so getting to explore what the
Toy Story
gang would discover using Google has been pretty special. Together, we ended up creating a
short video
that looks at Google through the eyes of Andy’s toys and how they deal with the fact that Andy’s about to leave for college.
A big thank you to the nice folks at Pixar for their spirit and their sense of collaboration. Check it out now online and in theaters nationwide kicking off
Toy Story 3
, opening June 18.
We hope you enjoy watching it as much as we did making it.
Update
5:55PM: Clarified that the YouTube video is currently only available in the U.S.
Update
Jun 10: Thanks for your patience! The video is now available outside the U.S. and we've removed our previous note about availability.
