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.

Pixar Heading Toward Sequel Summers
Pixar has made only one sequel - Toy Story 2 - all that could change with rumors of various projects underway at Pixar. What should we expect? Toy Story 3 - sequel to the sequel! The North American release date of this movie has been confirmed for June 18, 2010. Yeah!
On the horizon we will no doubt see a Cars 2 given the success of this franchise (merchandising on Cars currently accounts for over $5bn in revenues). Some have said we might expect to see Flash McQueen back on the screens in 2011. Work has also started on a sequel to 2001’s Monsters, Inc, a film that’s proven to be a continual success for Pixar. There’s no release date as of yet, but it’s a good assumption to expect it in 2012, which would make Pixar’s next three big summer movies sequels.
So what about Finding Nemo, Ratatouille, Wall-E and Up? We’ll just have to wait to find out.
