Giant Lego Woody!
Never to be out-done by his pal, Buzz, last weekend at the Venice International Film festival, a giant Lego Woody was unveiled. Sky.It (an Italian Entertainment site) posted a bunch of photos of Lasseter and crew frolicking it up with Buzz and Woody and various other Pixar characters.
You can see all the photos on the Italian website here: Venezia: tutti pazzi per la Pixar. Or, get the Google English-translated version: Venice: Something About Pixar.

Venice Clip Revealed
Well, not the actual clip but there are some descriptions floating around on what Toy Story 3 footage was previewed at the Venice Film Festival this past weekend. Slashfilm posted a good description on Monday of the clip:
Andy now has grown up, he has to go to college and his mom tells him to get rid of his stuff in the bedroom: attic or trash. So Andy finds Buzz and Woody in a box and decides to bring Woody with him at the college and put the other toys in a black plastic bag for the attic. When he opens the ladder to the attic his sister shows up and he leaves the plastic bag on the floor to help her. the ladder closes and his mum walks by, sees the plastic bag and put everything near the trash out of the house…

Let the Wii Games Begin!
Toy Story Mania! for Nintendo Wii is expected to be released in September. The target audience will be kids ages 6 to 11 (and probably those of us who are young at heart) and is based on the Toy Story Midway Mania! theme park attraction at Disney’s California Adventure theme park.
The game will feature Woody’s Rootin’ Tootin’ Shootin’ level in which players shoot rubber suction cup-tipped darts at various targets in a western-themed setting. A “Tossed in Space” level featuring the squeeze toys aliens (the claw!) which players toss rings around. There will also be a level in which the little green army men build stacks of wooden blocks for players to knock over with rubber balls.
All in all it sounds like Wii Toy Story Mania! will be packed with Toy Story goodness. I’ve already dusted off my Wii console and will be looking for the pre-purchase order forms.

Poll: Woody or Buzz?
I’ve always liked the sense nostalgia and simplicity that Woody portrays in Toy Story.
His ‘Bonanza’ / ‘Gun Smoke’ style swagger and his clean demeanor especially with his lady friend Bo Peep. Buzz on the other hand is more in-line with the ‘Star Wars’ childhood that I remember: His ‘Cylon’ style and his logical ‘Mr. Spock’ approach to situations and the other characters; his can-do zap-it out-of-the-sky type personality was exactly the type of toy I would have played with for hours on end as a child. Buzz in this respect is definitely my favorite Toy Story character.
