Early scripts for the film featured a Barbie doll 
in a prominent role as Woody's love interest....
Mattel, the company that owns the Barbie character, 
declined on the basis that they thought the film would be a failure 
and that they didn't want Barbie to have a defined personality, 
preferring to let children imagine Barbie's personality traits on their own. 
Thus, Barbie was dropped from the script, 
and her character was reworked into that of Bo-Peep.

Not a fan myself but since you already have Digimon, why not Pokemon? Pretty sure Pokemon was always far more popular than Digimon.

@Tsarstepan​ 

I saw the original Digimon described as toys while Pokemon are described as video games. 

I see that Pokemon is also included in this poll on movies based on video games:
