By I hate giving titles to things. It’s hard to come up with a short, catchy title that perfectly conveys what you want to say. It’s especially hard if you come up with something meant to be temporary and then try to change it later. According to Lee Unkrich, this is exactly what happened with Toy Story. The title we all know and love was a temporary choice while they worked out the real deal. After over 200 alternate titles were proposed, the original suggestion ended up sticking.
Hit the jump to see some of the suggested titles. Believe me, they are pretty atrocious.

I don’t know about you, but with a list like that, The Untitled Pixar Movie About Dinosaurs doesn’t sound like the worst possibility for the new film.
