Brace yourselves, Pixar fans… the latest trailer for Toy Story 3 has arrived online, and it is a beaut. Pixar may have run the whole “inanimate objects come to life” concept into the ground over the past decade, but Toy Story was the original and I have no problem revisiting these characters for a third time. I’m looking forward to seeing what kinds of creative adventures they have in store this time, as Andy goes off to college and his toys get donated to a day-care center.

It looks like there are plenty of new characters being added to the mix, which I suppose is kind of expected for a sequel. It’s a bit weird to see so many actual brand name toys included (the Barbie and Ken stuff in particular seems like it might be going in more of a Shrek pop culture-y direction), but I suppose they’ve always had Mr. Potato Head and he’s definitely one of the more memorable characters. Are you looking forward to Toy Story 3, or is this a step down from critically acclaimed films like Wall-E and Up? Watch the trailer after the jump, or see it in HD over at Apple.com. Toy Story 3 hits theatres on June 18th.



  • Goon

    did i just hear Kristen Schaal (Mel from FOTC) as the dinosaur?

  • I believe you did.

  • Kurt

    Pixar always has a great sense for voice casting. Schaal is awesome.

    But the trailer is rather underwhelming.

  • Niklas

    there is something really boring about pixar re-visiting old characters.. guess Im spoiled!

  • Looks interesting enough.

  • kurt

    I think Niklas hit the nail on the head. Less sequels, more original stories and characters. I seriously hope Brad Bird has something on the go for Pixar, he seems to do Pixar better than the companies own founders.

  • swarez

    I’ve enjoyed Pixar movies less and less ever since Cars came out.
    And I’m not particularly impressed with this trailer but I’ll wait and see.

  • Am I the only one who thinks this movie has a weird look to it? (cinematography wise… even though it is a CG movie ;P) But yeah i’m afraid after the tear jerkers Up and Wall-E, this ones gonna hit me hard, i mean I grew up with the original and this movies coming out right around the time i’m Andy’s current age. It’s fucked!

    “I seriously hope Brad Bird has something on the go for Pixar, he seems to do Pixar better than the companies own founders.”

    I actually kind of agree, i mean look at John Lasater’s directorial contribution’s since the original Toy Story, A Bug’s Life? Cars? And despite Toy Story 2 being good… it’s still a sequel. I think he’s simply past his prime. And maybe he even knows that. I mean he’s not back to direct this one, and he brought Brad Bird into the company who WASN’T a Pixar guy. He probably just saw that his company needed new talent, a second generation, to keep it living on into the future.

  • Btw Sean, Barbie was in the second one along with other Brand Name characters.

  • Kyriacos

    ok.
    A Cgi animated movie takes at-least about 3.5 years to be prepared and created.

    Disney bought up Pixar in 2006

    Up until then Disney used to be just the distributor.

    *Back in 1999 Disney wanted to release Toystory2 direct on DVD only- While pixar insisted it had a wider release.

    Ratatouille, WALL-E and Up were basically 100% pixar movies since they were prepared and scheduled before Disney.

    If you take a closer look on all the Pixar movies you will notice that they are basically all directed by the same group of people:
    John Lasseter
    Andrew Stanton
    Brad Bird
    Pete Docter

    Toy story 3 is probably the first 100% Disney-Pixar movie we are going to see..
    It is directed only by Lee Unkrich (who worked as co-director in Toystory2)

    Follow up next is ”Cars 2” directed by a first time director named Brad lewis
    Then is ”The Bear and the Bow” directed by a DISNEY director named Brenda Chapman who directed ”The Prince of Egypt” (1998)
    and then ”Newt” directed by some guy called Gary Rydstrom

    So is disney going to wreck Pixar?
    i guess we will find out soon..
