Toy Story 3

From The Wall Street Journal via Empire magazine:





--- Quote ---It's not often you get movie scoops from publications like The Wall Street Journal, being, as they are, more enamoured of bar graphs than Batman. But the US publication recently ran an article about Disney Pixar no longer outsourcing their video game tie-ins and, almost in passing, revealed the much guarded plot to Toy Story 3.

According to the Journal, in the third movie "Woody the cowboy and his toy-box friends are dumped in a day-care center after their owner, Andy, leaves for college".

That sounds much like a spin on Jesse the Cowgirl's arc in Toy Story 2, where she was abandoned by her grown up owner (we can't think of a less harsh sounding term) and ended up in a junk sale.

It's a good path for the third and possibly final film. It could potentially bring the story of Woody and Buzz full circle, if they eventually end up in the hands of a new child to love them. It does, however, show that a lot of time's passed between Toy Story 2 and the new movie, since Andy was no more than 12 in that film. What would that mean for the toy characters? Will Woody be falling apart? Will all Buzz's paint be worn to nothing. God knows, after a few years, all our childhood toys were chewed, run over and generally scarred from too many interactions with the dog or waste disposal.

Sounds interesting to me, especially like the suggestion of the toys being beaten up and aged.

The Toy Story movies are not just magnificent animated movies but some of the best movies of the last 10-15 years. Heres hoping the third can live up to those standards.

Faker:
But normally Disney animated sequels tend to be cheapo direct to video/dvd knock offs with entirely different voice casts and usually different writters/directors/animators etc..

With this you are looking at the input from all the major players behind the first two movies, so I'm keeping my hopes up!

sean:
The Pixar films were good since Pixar wasn't directly owned by Disney. Now they are.

I have no hope for this. Sorry Pixar, Disney just fucks shit up too much.

Man, I am so sick of the shit rep Disney gets. They are fucking children's movies, people. Watch them without expecting some kind of critical masterpiece and maybe you'll enjoy them. I know I enjoyed Emperor's New Groove and Lilo and Stitch plenty.

KvP:
I really liked Emperor's New Groove and Lilo too, but fuck if I didn't forget them within the year. Maybe it was a lack of distinctive songs?
