Toy Story 3 Trailer Online
Guess what. The trailer for Toy Story 3 is online. I looked at it with my eyes and have come to the conclusion that there is absolutely nothing to say about it. I enjoyed Toy Story 1 and 2 (2 was better) and I imagine I will see part 3, but I find it funny that Pixar seems to be immune to all of the usual hostility thrown at frivolous sequels. I mean, really? We need a Toy Story 3? When talk of a District 9 follow up started floating around the blogo-gine, people stomped their feet in protest, deeming such an act as an unnecessary cash grab that would ultimately detract from the original. Maybe it’s just me, but I’d rather spend more time exploring Blomkamp’s futuristic Johannesburg then Andy’s college dorm room.
That aside, the colours are bright as usual and Randy Newman’s voice is a tender reminder that I Love LA. Is this shit in 3D? I bet it is. Kiss all of those beautiful colours goodbye my friends. Hopefully our local theatres offer a 2D option on this one. I still think the human characters look like real dolls, even if they might contain more polygons in their eyebrow hairs this time around. On the plus side, I think the original characters might retain enough charm to bring something worthwhile to the screen, as long as Joan Cusack doesn’t shit the bed with another buzzkill song about her debilitating case of separation anxiety. Pixar, I don’t even have to see the film to say ‘you’ve done it again’! Check out the trailer below:

I’m not even going to watch the trailer because I love the set-up too much.
Posted by Greg on October 13th, 2009Man, I liked the original premise better, I think.
Do we need a Toy Story 3? (Or a Cars 2 and Monsters Inc 2, for that matter) Who’s we? If you mean Disney execs’ pockets and their lack of extra monies, then yes. We do need Toy Story 3. For the same reason we needed the 3D double feature. Milk it, baby!
Whatever, you know it’ll still be better than a lot of other shit this summer… next summer? Summer 2010. I mean, what ELSE are we going to see with no Transformers movie in theaters?
Posted by Falsk on October 13th, 2009I went and saw the Toy Story 1 & 2 3d release since I’d never seen either in the theater (and I had time to kill that day between a job interview and an event). Of all the 3d animated films I’ve been to (about half a dozen) those have been the least affected by the tinting of the glasses.
Posted by Goon on October 13th, 2009Im not a fan of 3D. I’ll be looking for this fine piece of work in normal flat 2D view.
Posted by Captain N on October 14th, 2009The reason no one is complaining is because Pixar has been making near-perfect movies for 10 years now, with their absolute worst being Decent and every other one pretty much being close to perfect. After 10 years, they ahve yet to really dissipoint. That’s why no one is bitching.
Posted by Slushie Man on October 14th, 2009I’ll be the first to bitch ;D Not really bitch I guess, i’m a big fan of the first 2 and all of Pixars films. But I have to say, this looks a little bit… sappy, and maybe even… cheesy
But nonetheless I’m sure it will still be fun.
Posted by Drew on October 14th, 2009Sappy? How so?
Because, as Jay mentioned above, the song in the second movie wasn’t sappy. No sir-ee. Nothing sappy about sad toys.
Posted by Falsk on October 14th, 2009I don’t know, just some of the sadness and stuff is kind of corny, and those clips of Andy as a little kid and then showing him leaving for college is kinda cheesy. But I guess that can’t really be avoided. I mean you have to admit that song from Toy Story 2 is pretty damn sappy. But like I said before, i’m sure it will still end up being good
I mean these movies were a big part of my early childhood so I have a big soft spot for them, so i’ll probably be there opening night no matter what.
Posted by Drew on October 15th, 2009lets not get on Pixar for doing (the few) sequels yet we piss them off and never see a Incredibles 2!

I will defend this sequel for a second. Do we really NEED any movie? Did we NEED The Dark Knight? No… it wasn’t needed, but there was a new story to be told there. As long as the story is somewhat interesting (and I do think there’s something there for this movie), I don’t see any real reason why we don’t need a Toy Story 3. Why the Fuck Not, you know.
Posted by Drew on October 15th, 2009Since Toy Story 2 Pixar has made: Monsters inc, finding nemo, incredibles, cars, ratatouille, wall-e, and up.
Posted by Itchy-Finger on October 15th, 2009I have no problem with them returning to Toy Story after 6 movies. Now if they were shitting out up2 right now, I’d probably be saying that is crap. But I think they have earned the right to make another sequel, especially since this will only be the third sequel they’ve made to their collection of films.
Pixar has created some wonderful characters and I’m excited to see the return of some of them. Now bring on Monsters inc 2!
“Incredibles 2″? Brad Bird conceding to a sequel? Pffft, that’ll be the day.
And yet, of all films that literally sets itself up for one, that’d be it.
Posted by Falsk on October 15th, 2009Not impressed. Pop culture references will not cut it this time.
