The way I have always heard this story is that Andy
INTENDED on leaving and announced that intention
repeatedly during the filming of year 5. Apparently
Don double checked with him before signing the movie
deal and was told (truthfully at the time) that Andy
was indeed still planning on moving on. It was AFTER
Don signed his deal that Andy changed his mind about
coming back. Alas it was too late for our dear ol'
Barn to stay. Thank goodness we had the guest spots!
