Toy Story 3 moves forward

It was previously reported that Disney's acquisition of Pixar also meant the end of production on Toy Story 3, and that if the film was ever made it would be done by the creators of the original film. Now it looks that is indeed the case, as Bloomberg reports on Walt Disney Company's First Quarter Earnings:

Iger said Disney would release about two Pixar films each year, an increase over Pixar's earlier goal of about one per year. Pixar will take over production of "Toy Story 3," a sequel that Disney's in-house animators had been working on, Iger said.

The version Disney was going to make, before now handing it over to Pixar, would have had Buzz Lightyear being recalled to Taiwan after a series of malfunctions. Learning of a productwide recall, all the toys in Andy's room, under Woody's leadership, were to head to Taiwan to save Buzz from doom.

In related news, Disney said it expects to release Pixar's animated Ratatouille in the summer of 2007. The film is about a rat who lives in a fancy Parisian restaurant run by a famous, but eccentric chef.

Raph's Girl note: The plot for Toy Story 3 sounds stupid. :roll: Can't wait to see Ratatouille tho! :evilgrin:

Toy Storys' become nothing more than world tour movies, retarded. There better be jokes about knock off toys in there (fake Buzzes convinced there the real deal)

Now that sounds like a good idea to me.

And here I was thinking that Toy Story died in the second movie :blanksta: The only thing that made me chuckle was the 'Luke, I am your father' spoof. No matter how many times I see Star Wars spoofs, I just find them funny just because of one thing or another :ohwell:

The idea has merit, but unless Pixar rewrites it for it to be interresting, I'm just going to wait and see what happens. I do like the idea of Buzz being recalled, but I'd rather see Zarius's idea about bootlegg Buzz's. Think about it... it could speak fractured English with a heavy accent. That would be funny.

I hope Mr. Potato Head gets more on-screen time :D
