Toy Story 3 (and 1 and 2 re-released)

#1 Post by a_person » Fri Jun 19, 2009 7:01 pm

Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz (Tim Allen), and the rest of their toy box friends are dropped off in a children's day-care center when their owner, Andy (now a young adult) departs for college.

Thanks to AYBG for the following trailer:


Toy Story films get 3D makeover
Buzz Lightyear
Toy Story introduced the catchphrase "to infinity and beyond"
The first two Toy Story movies are to be remade in 3D ahead of the release of Toy Story 3 in June 2010, film studio Disney-Pixar has announced.

Original director John Lasseter is to oversee the conversion, and promised audiences would be "blown away".

Toy Story was released in 1995 and features the voices of Tom Hanks and Tim Allen as toys that come to life.

The new version of the first film will be released in October 2009, followed by Toy Story 2 in February 2010.

'Dazzling'

The chairman of Walt Disney studios, Dick Cook, said the trilogy of films promised movie-goers an exciting 3D experience:

"We think they're going to love seeing all the wonderful Toy Story cast of characters in an eye popping and dazzling way," he said.

John Lasseter, who won a special achievement Oscar for the first instalment, said he was "excited" to be revisiting the characters.

"With Toy Story 3 shaping up to be another great adventure for Buzz, Woody and the gang from Andy's room, we thought it would be great to let audiences experience the first two films all over again and in a brand new way," Lasseter said.

"3D offers lots of great new possibilities for the art of animation and we will continue to use this new technology to tell our stories in the best possible way."

The third film in the Toy Story trilogy will also be released in 3D.

But while new technology promises a fresh take on the classic cartoon, there are currently only 48 cinemas capable of showing 3D movies in the UK, according to the Film Council.

Cor it's a very long time away! I saw the trailer for this at Greenwich IMAX yesterday in 3D, it looked brilliant! Well... I still hope there are screenings for this next year then! Highly doubt it though... :rolleyes:

I can't believe it either, a_person. I was rather hoping that it would be released a bit sooner, too.

Ha, question answered! We saw a short 3D advert for this - not a trailer - and my son wondered if they were making the original in 3D. Not so apparently.

Again, America get 1+2 in 3-D for one ticket, March for Toy Story 2, October for the original in 3-D here.
Disney just hates England.
