Goodbye Summer Break, Lot’s of news
The official Disney Toy Story site was revamped! The main page now has a countdown for the upcoming Toy Story and Toy Story 2 3D Double Feature Event (October 2, 2009); a link to the Toy Story Mania! video game (for Wii) and links to Toy Story books. Of course there is also a little link to the Toy Story 3 promo page which has the trailer teaser and these great little video ‘treats’: Checkers; Jack-in-the-box; The Age of the Dinosaur; and Give it a Spin.
Update: Don’t forget the Characters section on the updated website. Each of the characters from the first two films have bios and download links with a wonderful assortment of Toy Story character wallpapers!
One of the highlights from this summer was when Director Lee Unkrich introduced Ken, played by Michael Keaton, for “Toy Story 3″ (we chirped about it in the previous post: Michael Keaton tapped for Ken?). Lee sat down with blog writer Drew McWeeny for a candid interview which also focused on Lee’s Twitter abilities.
