I've heard this movie compared to "Toy Story" before, but so far, I haven't heard
any comparisons to this short-lived TV series:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Over_(TV_series)
"Game Over (the title was inspired by the phrase "game over" that commonly
concludes video games whether the player loses or finishes the game, depending
on which video game he or she plays) focused on what happens to video game
characters after the game ends."
I wonder if the movie's creators ever saw this show?
