It inspired the conversations between Hobson and Yates, who would have very different reactions to the exact same events. The series will consist of 20 minute episodes. When working on Toy Story 4, Hobson and Yates were realized that they had pretty different interpretations of how their creative meetings went, so they used these differing interpretations to developed the series with with revolving around one event, but with each characters having their own conflicts surrounding the event.
