That’s my family! A good 15 minutes of fame lol. It got to the point of ABC getting a hold of the story because Costco was initially not terribly concerned, when my mom called about it they basically offered to refund it and that was it. My dad heard about it, contacted KOMO (our ABC affiliate) and they got it on the news that night. Producer at ABC news saw it and got it national and the rest, as you shared, was history. Recalls popped up everywhere. What’s funny to me is that single line they got from me. It’s actually more awkward and funny when you hear me say it then it was written down. They asked what happened, I explained the whole thing and they they picked just that one line for the newscast that night lol. Ah, a fun memory. I still have the original KOMO broadcast saved.

In another universe, High Fidelity switches to Toy Story 2 forty minutes in.

Kind of reminds me of when one of the Powerpuff Girls DVDs had a computer virus on it, most likely because someone working on the disc was infected by it, so when you put it into a computer it would infect it

Can’t help but see this as a creepypasta story, it sure sounds like one.

I just looked up a DVD opening of High Fidelity and found out it was distributed by Buena Vista and released also in 2000. Knowing that, the error makes a lot more sense.

There’s also an animation error in the first Toy Story that has Buzz saying “Blast” but his mouth animation has him saying “Damn”!

"You can't swear, only the limited release, western Costco sets can swear." "Yeah, and I got recalled for it!"

Before I watched this I thought that one of those bonus features on the dvds would’ve contained the 1992 Tom Hanks voice demo where the Woody dummy is animated to Tom Hanks saying the f word. It’s interesting to see how such a dumb mistake could slip into these dvd sets though.

If I owned this DVD I would have just simply been annoyed that a segment of the movie was missing, not the swearing.

i personally find this bit of lost media really interesting because of how (at least theoretically) easy it would be to possibly find and obtain a copy of it. it's one of those cases of lost media where it's _right there,_ you can see it there just hidden in plain sight and it wouldn't be impossible for someone to have a defective copy, yet it just isn't posted online anywhere. i do hope this gets found, it sounds really interesting and kinda funny to just be watching TS2 one day then suddenly there's someone throwing around F-bombs like it's a football

The funny thing is, one of the actors in high fidelity, John Cusack, is actually the brother of Joan Cusack, who voiced Jessie.

That made me remember a glitch I had on my Toy Story 1-3 movie set, more specifically on the 3rd film. I'm not sure if anyone else experienced this, but in the scene where Andy gives the toys to Bonnie, the movie would switch to whatever was last watched/played so we'd have to fast forward a bit in that scene. I called it the "time travel part" and according to my parents it had nothing to do with the disc or TV, as it worked just fine.

That must of been odd for a G rated film to have content that sweared up a storm or such. Wow, unbelievable!

I have a DVD of the film "Robots", where, halfway through the movie, the English audio track somehow switches to a completely different movie. (I never bothered identifying what it was). But it caused me to have to switch to the Russian audio track for the second half. And I'm not a fan of Russian dubs.

My grandma had a DVD of cars, even though mater said "Holy shoot" it was subtitled "holy shit" 😅

I remember tweeting about this infamous error and it went viral. I hope it turns up someday, because this is WILD!

I remember when finding Dory came out, the red band trailer for sausage party played during the trailers before the movie started, it was wild

I honestly thought it was gonna be the toys themselves swearing. That would've been so funny to see Woody screaming like a typical Texas cowboy.

Every copy of Toy Story is personalized.

Now that you have pointed this out, I hope someone who happens to have this error box set will upload this error clip on KZfaq someday.

Nowdays, it's hard to have a movie rated G.

I miss the original thumbnail

This makes me wanna get this set now, but thank goodness I got the regular Toy Story 2 dvd when I was little.

3:32 It’s now Found Media

Reminds of when an EA employee snuck in a South Park episode in a Tiger Woods PGA game.

Just imagine how much that dvd is worth now

it's weird that a problem like this would happen to a DVD, I thought it would only happen with VHS.

"I got them out of the room as fast as I could." Um... why not just turn off the TV?

Toy Story 2, but it’s actually High Fidelity.

I remember when small unground stores would sell disney movies by giving them the dvd case and when they watch it, the movie plays like normal but there's edited clips of characters swearing 😂

Disney: we are family friendly. Also Disney: accidentally fills a toy story dvd with swears

By coincidence, High Fidelity starred John Cusack, who is the brother of Joan Cusack, who voiced Jessie in Toy Story.

“We were watching Toy Story 2… and it turned into a real movie show” -Ryan Ward, 2000 In all seriousness though i hope they didn’t repeat the words being said 😬.

To those who doubt this rumor, here's my personal experience... Circa 2003, I was temporarily living with my Aunt's family during a CPS allegation involving my guardians. (They won in the end and I moved back in with them.) My aunt had a large DVD collection with a home theater setup unfamiliar to my 7 year old self at the time. I was browsing the movies and noticed a Dual Pack of Toy Story 1 and 2, to which my aunt said, "If you watch Toy Story 2, you're only to watch it half way, then you'll have to do something else." I did not choose to watch Toy Story 2 (I watched Pocahontas), so I cannot confirm if my Aunt knowingly owned this defective DVD release, but I can't think of any other reason to specify watching only half of a specific movie. Edit: When I said "dual pack" I was purposefully omitting the Disc 3 Bonus Features from my memory. This Aunt originally lived in California before moving to AZ after me, and several members of our family were in Utah before California, going back and forth every other year for family visits, etc. We had several Wagon Wheel Café glasses before the printing wore off after numerous washes.

Given the way a DVD Video disc is authored and the rest of the manufacturing process (mastering to glass and making stampers from it), it's likely that Technicolor discovered the error very early on and re-authored the disc. Either they had already made and shipped discs with the faulty authoring at that point, or one or more stampers with the faulty authoring were used accidentally alongside the ones with the corrected authoring, possibly in different pressing plants.

I have a DVD of Wreck-it-Ralph that features a weird glitch that freezes the movie in 3 places and skips a full scene and on the first freeze changes it from full-screen to wide-screen and would have a white barcode in the center of the bottom black bar.

Oh my gosh, how the hell did no one notice this error! while it became a funny story if this was more public we might not have gotten toy story 3 and 4, or worse the entire pixar company could have been shut down! still though luckily it was dealt with quickly and we can all laugh about it, just hope those kids didn't repeat the words on the DVD otherwise that would have been a parent's evening to remember, thanks for making this video I'm surprised I've never heard of this story until now, This reminds me of the time McDonalds released minion happy meal toys which parents thought one of the toys said the F word, Great video Lane 😀

What a nice story of a crorrupted Dvd disc. I never heard of the story. But, you have to admit that its a pretty funny story. I hope that Ryan and Nathan Ward weren't too scared for life. Im glad that this was my first introduction to you because this video was nice, nay, awesome.

The Toy Box Set was released on the same day as "The Green Mile (1999)" on VHS and DVD.

Common but Rare? Damn!

The first Toy Story freak me out as a kid when Woody and Buzz are in the Sid’s room

I know they were a kid when they said it but "It turned into a real movie show" is just funny to me

I’m glad I didn’t own this DVD.

They don’t really do this anymore, because they don’t want the duplication error to happen where the movie switches to another movie where it contains some cuss words. Disney and Technicolor have definitely learned from their mistakes. Probably, other companies also knew about this error, and also decided to keep their DVDs of movies for kids free of this error. Hope something like that never happens again. Jamie Ward did the right thing, and I’m pretty sure every mother would do this.

A Costco in KIRKLAND Washington? And their store brand is Kirkland Signature? I sense a conspiracy.

I mean at least it switched to something different and it didn’t feature woody slingin around cuss words

1:54 I Really needed that reminder, Lane.

I feel like it’s pretty unlikely this error will ever be found and uploaded. This dvd set came out more than two decades ago and only 1000 copies had the error. A lot of those copies are probably gone by now because this happened over 20 years ago.

That's so weird. It sounds like an easy mistake to make for a vhs, but a dvd?

Someone should recreate this incident by editing toy story 2 with that swear word scene

"a scene from the film contains some f words, which is a word that isn't appropriate and unacceptable for a g-rated film" Thank you for letting me know that the F-word doesn't belong in a movie for general audiences! Never knew that one before!

This is definitely brand new to me. I grew up with the 2000 VHS so I didn’t experience this lol.

This reminds me of one time when I heard something on the news about a woman who bought her kids an Austin Powers 3 movie disc set and when they popped in one of them it apparently had porn on it.

swear words being frowned upon is so silly to me

Somebody’s gonna go online and have enough money to buy every copy of this set to find just one with the mistake.

If ANYONE has this disc with this error please upload it ! The lost media coulminty will be very happy

It's even funny that both movie starting the Cusack sibling (Joan,Toy Story 2. John,High Fidelity).

I really did not know about this until now.

It's funny that there wasn't an cue mark when it switched films breafly. If you watched Fight Club, there is a scene where Edward Norton's character, The Narrator, talked about what Tyler Durden does as work, with one of them being a projectionist job, the benefit for Tyler is splicing a scene from an adult film.into a family film, with the change indicated by the cue mark that Tyler called "cigarette burns".

On second thought, I could of sworn that I heard about this, somewhere. I own this set, but I don't believe it has the High Fidelity error. I don't think the two other copies I gifted in the past have that, either. However, I do have an observation. This set was released on October 17th, 2000, right before the 2000 holiday season. Copies sold during that holiday season usually had a coupon book insert for other Buena Vista releases, accompanying the scene selection inserts. One of the copies I gifted had said coupon book, but my own doesn't. I'm not saying that all copies with the coupon inserts have the error, let alone any, but it's defiantly possible. again, this is just an observation.

i would kill for a copy

When I was a kid this happened to me I was watching Toy story two and that happened to me I heard those words and I was surprised that they did that

Rescuers 99 VHS: Finally, a worthy opponent!

I actually got in trouble at school in 2001 for saying that one of my classmates (who turned against me a year earlier) is cut (any fellow Simpsons fan will get the Bart Star reference) and they thought I called him a c*nt! Also, in late 97/early 98, on many play sessions of Sonic R on the Saturn, I sang along to the Reactive Factory track’s “work it out” song as “futt-ry down” (that’s how 10-year old me misheard it!) and my brother told me not to say those words, although a made-up word, he mistook futt-ry for f**k! Although nothing bad at all (it probably is if CGA PC games aren’t your thing), I don’t know if the inclusion was intentional, but back in the day, using Windows Explorer, I found, on the Little Big Adventure 2 CD-Rom, a CGA Breakout clone known as Popcorn! It’s always interesting to find secret games!

When I clicked on this video, I thought it was gonna be about the bonus features dvd having a deleted scene about Buzz and Woody with Tim Allen and Tom Hanks swearing. But this is interesting

Something similar happened to me. I got the Adam Sandler movie, Mr. Deeds for my birthday. It was brand new out of the package. The disc was even labeled Mr. Deeds, but it was a dance video about Jennifer Lopez. It was difficult to explain to the store why I wanted to get a replacement. I'm not sure if they understood what we were talking about. You had to see it to believe it.

I would think this defect (only being around 1,000 limit) would be sought after by film collectors (similar to the VHS of Disney's The Rescuers, with the boobs) and sellers would know that especially on eBay. I'd have to think that, if this is true, the eBay descriptions would boldly say "DEFECT PRINT" and obviously be opened.

imagine : disney making 17+ versions of their movies, with the characters swearing a considerable amount, always at either unexpected times, or when it would have had swears in the original if it wernt for the kids.

Why do I get the feeling that this video will hit 1 million views at the end of the year?

Toy Story 5 is in the works

The fact that high feldidty was made by touchstone and Disney owns touchstone makes this cannon.

I'll be willing to bet they pressed those copies of the movie onto dual-layer DVDs, and it's the second layer that contains the second half of High Fidelity. That would explain why the switch happens halfway through. Is it known whether the movie eventually switches back to Toy Story 2, or if the remainder of High Fidelity plays through to completion?

Now I need high fidelity with toy story 2 scenes

Oh I remember this DVD, I think I was in 4th grade when I found it at a movie store but it didn't have that sense and I didn't even know that happened in a few of the dvds. But tbh The toy box DVD set always looked off to me, it didn't look like the other dvds sets later on. But I still love the franchise and toy story 2 is my favorite out of all of the toy story movies.

Nobody's talking about how on the ultimate DVD set, Woody's render on the TS1 box is from TS2, and Buzz's render on the TS2 box is from TS1

This reminds me of a story, nothing to do with Toy Story, but my family bought a VHS of Swellville that was completely blank, the VHS had nothing on it, even though it was supposed to have the movie Swellville on it, it even had the label on it, I just used it as a tape to record things on it.

People probably have a better chance at finding it in brand new box sets since those are ones that haven't even been watched

I don't want to find that error. I want a Toy Story ultimate toy box with the whole Toy Story 2 movie and no cuts to R-Rated movies.

Toy Story wouldn't even get past censors today lol. Same with Hunchback I have a feeling they'll probably rate it PG if it's rereleased and all that.

Interesting, I had this boxset as a kid, I still have it. Can confirm it’s not on my disc unfortunately 😂 Definitely didn’t get it from CostCo though, I live in Australia so I’m assuming none here had that error.

as a kid I think i experienced Toy story 1 and 2 through either rented tapes or at 1 point in time i was gifted either or as DVDs... idk where my official TS1 dvd went but I do own TS1 and 2 digitally and since I of course have a vpn account i have also downloaded blu-ray quality rips of Ts1 and 2 for watching at 60fps with an fps converter (Bluesky Framerate converter)

The closest thing you can do is to get the scene from the movie with the f words and plop it into the 40 minute Mark of the movie closer than you're going to get to that until someone finds it

Toy Story 1 was PG in England

I currently own this dvd and it does not have that swear word scene.

The manufacturing error on the DVD contained scenes from “High Fidelity” which starred John Cusack (Joan Cusack’s brother), and Jack Black.

I grew up playing minecraft until the head in your outro came up. More good days came

I have this dvd set but it doesn’t have the R rated scene

I swear when I was a kid, I remember hearing woody say something like damn, hell or jackass in a scene where he was hopping off Andy's dresser. nowadays I cant find it anywhere...

I have this box set. It’s great! Lots of bonus content that wasn’t transferred to the blu-rays.

I actually have a banned Caillou episode

theres swears in the dispicible me 2 director's commentary, blew my mind

wow lane been subscribed for years you're getting alot of views

one of my copies of blues clues classic clues switches its audio to final destination 2 half way through episode 2

We had this movie playing today and every time they said stupid it caught my attention lol

One time i saw a really weird glitch on my DVD of this movie It was a white screen with a bunch of various black shapes and this weird animated black and white 3D sphere, i wish i recorded it but we reset the player and it worked just fine afterwards

I live in Washington and have never heard of this error.

lol i thought they accidentally left the black friday version on the bonus disc or something lol

I remember hearing about this!!! My copy of this box set does not have this.

All night I’ve been asking myself to the ultimate toy box DVD said to get discontinued

I remember when i was little i watched some behind the scenes video on the Cars DVD and one of the people in it said Damn
