Toy Story / Toy Story 2 Set For Double Feature in 3-D
Old news to some, but we’re playing catch up on the items that broke before this fan site premiered: On October 2, 2009 for a two-week limited engagement Toy Story / Toy Story 2 will once grace the big screens – as a special double feature – only this time in wonderful 3-D. “To see the movies back to back will be an amazing treat as well. This is certainly nostalgic for me and reminiscent of my youth when double features were the norm.” says John Lasseter in the official press release. Audiences will get to enjoy both films back to back, for the price of a single ticket.
This should be enough to hold some of us off while we anticipate the release of Toy Story 3 on June 18, 2010.

Another Story About Toys - Floyd Norman
Via @PixarFanboy Floyd Norman (Disney animator who worked on Toy Story 2) has a brief article up on his blog about how Pixar was more Disney than Disney.
Yeah, these are Pixar characters, but they’re essentially Disney in concept. I was first introduced to these characters in a story reel I viewed back in 1994. “Toy Story” could have been considered a “stealth” project back then because few people even knew about the film being developed up north.

Unkrich Editing Toy Story 3 between BBQs
The MTV Movies Blog strikes again with this captured tweet from Lee Unkrich (Director of the anticipated Toy Story 3):
@leeunkrich Editing TS3 in the lovely and humid state of Arkansas today. I still feel like napping after last night’s amazing BBQ.
And six hours later he had this entry:
@leeunkrich Off to dinner at “Whole Hog BBQ”. Does that mean there will be offal on the menu? I’m scared and excited.
Com’ on Mr Unkrich, naps and BBQs come after the Toy Story 3 release party!
You can follow Lee on his Twitter account @leeunkrich to taunt him along with all of his TS3 progress.
