"Toy Story" (1995) ist ein Meilenstein der Filmgeschichte, handelt es sich doch um den ersten computeranimierten abendfüllenden Kinofilm, der in Co-Produktion der Walt Disney Studios und der Trickfirma Pixar in vierjähriger Arbeit entstand...
Unglaublich !?!
Toy Story besticht durch nie zuvor gesehene Bilder und die detaillierte Charakterzeichnung der zwei Hauptfiguren Woody und Buzz Lightyear... Und bekam den Oscar für das beste Drehbuch !!!
Und es ist kaum zu glauben, aber die Fortsetzung "Toy Story 2" (1999) übertrifft das Original...
"Toy Story 3" in Disney Digital 3D soll am 29. Juli 2010 in die deutschen Kinos kommen... Buzz Lightyear sollte in einer frühen Drehbuchfassung wegen diversen Fehlfunktionen nach Taiwan zurückgerufen werden !!! Disney werkelte alleine daran - ohne Pixar - und dachte auch an "Toy Story 4"... Nun hat Pixar das Ruder wieder übernommen und arbeitet nach einem Drehbuch von Michael Arndt (u.a. "Little Miss Sunshine")...

CS! berichtet über die US-Kinocharts...
[...] Sony's other Fall comedy hit, the animated Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (Sony), held up just as well in its third weekend despite losing many of its 3D theaters to Disney's rerelease of PIxar's venerable classics Toy Story 3D Double Feature.
[...] the Disney/Pixar 3D double feature brought in approximately $12.5 million in its rerelease into 1,745 3D theaters, unhindered by the long running time or the fact that both movies had been available on DVD for years. Disney announced that this would be a limited two-week run, but we'll have to see whether that's extended or if "Cloudy" gets some of those 3D screens back. [...]

Variety.com berichtet über die Wirkung der ersten beiden "Toy Story"-Filme im neuen 3D-Format...
[...] The films are so effective in 3D, they look as though they were designed for the format. [...]
There are even a few shots -- animals virtually attacking the "lens," architectural constructions that feature objects in the extreme foreground and background -- that might even have been called pandering to 3D had the pictures actually been made with the process in mind. How well the duo is suited to 3D comes as a pleasant surprise. [...]
Does the novelty of 3D wear off, and is it really the big deal it's being made out to be? After a while, you do get used it and its impact does decrease, or least becomes normalized. [...]
If nothing else, the "Toy Story" double feature demonstrates that films produced with no thought of 3D can be adapted to it with great success [...]

Empire Online berichtet über die Disney/Pixar-Präsentation in London...
[...] started with the opening ten minutes of Toy Story 2 in 3D (which we'd already seen at Comic-Con, but which continues to impress). And then it was on to the first of a raft of premieres, with some new information and footage from Toy Story 3 (also in 3D).
Lasseter said of the film, "This is a movie that I've wanted to make since I was working on Toy Story 2 in 1999. We took the entire original creative team back to a small cabin on the coast where we created the idea of the first Toy Story, for luck, and we went up there for a couple of days and came back with the idea." As we've reported before, it's about Andy leaving his toys behind as he heads to college, and what happens next.
All of the characters are returning, including Barbie and Ken, but the big news today was that Timothy Dalton will be voicing a rather prickly character called Mr Pricklepants, who's something of a luvvie and wears lederhosen.
We saw a tiny animation test with Mr Pricklepants (who's cute in a spiky way), but the big news was a lengthy Toy Story 3 clip and trailer. The clip showed Andy packing from college, and emptying all his toys into a black bin bag for storage in the attic. He hesitates over Woody and Buzz, finally putting Woody in the box of things to take for college. But all the toys are panicked - especially Woody, who's worried for his friends. When Andy is distracted by his little sister and leaves the garbage bag on the landing instead of upstairs in the attic, his mother takes it out to the kerb - and a frantic Woody has to save his friends from a rapidly approaching bin lorry.
We also saw the as-yet unreleased trailer, which showed bits of the same scene, but developed the story. Clearly the toys end up being sent to a daycare centre, where they are horribly abused by the little kids - and after that it's time for a break-out attempt to find a safe haven, and hopefully a new owner, in a cruel world. It looks every bit as good as its titanic predecessors. [...]

[...] Lee Unkrich takes the directing lead on a story dealing with Andy's going off to college. The prospect of Andy's outgrowing Buzz Lightyear and Sheriff Woody was first raised in Toy Story 2. So what is a Toy Story with Andy basically grown up?
"I think that's a question we've tried to figure out ourselves," MacLane said. "I can tell you Andy's room is in the movie. That's about all I can say." Whether it's the Andy's room we know or Andy's teenage room, MacLane would not tell.
With a specialty in character movement and motion, which brought many of WALL-E's silent sequences to life, MacLane has had a chance to introduce new toys into the Toy Story world. "Oh, I've had a lot of fun with new characters," he said. "I've spent a lot of the time on the show on new characters. That's one of the things I did work on on this film, was a lot of preproduction and developing on the new characters, just help out getting them ready to go for the film." On Toy Story 2, MacLane was in charge of the "crazy" Buzz Lightyear, fresh out of the box at the toy store, still thinking he's a real space ranger.
MacLane assured fans that he and his Pixar colleagues take Toy Story 3 seriously. They would not make a cheap knock-off sequel (ahem, Disney). And he said the new installment will mark the true conclusion of a trilogy.
"Toy Story 2 was one of the first films I did starting at Pixar, so I feel a real kinship with the characters, specifically Buzz Lightyear," MacLane said. "So I really wanted to get back in there and animate. To give you a sense of the responsibility they feel, there was a T-shirt made in the story department. The back of the T-shirt said, 'Franchise Guardian.' It's not something we do lightly. We go back into that mythology with the intent to continue a story that needs to be told, a story that we believe in and a story that, to be really honest, having seen the movie, is amazing. I'm not worried about it, but in finishing it, we want to make sure it's the best film it can be, and it's fit to stand alongside the other films on the shelf."

CS! sprach mit John Lasseter, u.a. über die "Toy Story"-Filme in 3-D...
CS: [...] I know Pixar is going to be doing their upcoming movies and redoing "Toy Story" and "Toy Story 2," but "Up" is going to be the first one released in 3D?
Lasseter: Yes. We've been big proponents of 3D for a long time. Pixar and I made a short called "Knick Knack" in 1989 that was in 3D, but there were no theaters in the world that could show 3D, so we were kind of way ahead of the curve. I even took wedding pictures of my wedding in 3D. I've been a big proponent of 3D for such a long time, it's finally great to have these theaters popping up around the world, so at Disney, this is the third animated film we've done in 3D. We were the first to do the animated films in 3D, but this is also the first one we've really created the film from the very beginning in 3D. Oftentimes, it's more of an afterthought. The film was made and then the 3D version is created. This is really created from the very beginning in 3D.
CS: As far as the original "Toy Story" movies, are you going to go back to the original computer files?
Lasseter: Yeah, those we're going back and making those in 3D. It looks fantastic, they really look great. Now, we're not changing the movie at all. It's exactly "Toy Story" but we're making another eye-view of it and it's looking great in 3D.
CS: I was curious about that since you've made so many CG movies since that first one and technology has changed, I wondered if going back to that makes you want to change things that you might not have been able to do 13 years ago?
Lasseter: It's called digital archeology, resurrecting the operating system and all the files and everything like that. That film was made from 1991 to '95, so to resurrect all that and bring it back up to speed so it can render on the modern computers, it has been a real technical challenge by our team. They've been able to do it, and it looks fantastic. It looks identical to "Toy Story" and yet, it's in 3D and it looks great. "Up" is being made from the very beginning, it's a 3D film. [...]

CS! berichtet über eine Walt Disney Präsentation...
[...] Disney definitely knows how to entertain and when Cook started talking with John Lasseter who serves as executive producer on Toy Story 3 (released June 18, 2010), military soldiers dressed in shimmering green uniforms rapelled down from the ceiling on ropes and marched up the stage. The curtains opened and characters dressed as Buzz, Woody, Mr. Potato Head and Little Bo Peep sang and danced to "You've Got Me As a Friend." The premise of the third film will show what happens to the toys as their owner Andy leaves for college. Lassester told the Kodak Theatre how his son just left for college and how he didn't expect to have the strong emotions he did, and he thinks the film will hit home for a lot of people.
Cook and Lasseter told the crowd that both Toy Story and Toy Story 2 would be returning to theaters in 3-D. [...]

IESB meldet...
[...] Jodi Benson best known for the voice of Ariel in Disney's Little Mermaid franchise revealed to the IESB this weekend during an interview on Santa Catalina Island for the release of The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning that she is returning to the Toy Story franchise to voice Barbie. You may recall, she voiced Tour Guide Barbie and Barbie on Backpack in the second film.
But what's Barbie without Ken?!
Benson also revealed to the IESB that her Barbie will be cuddling up to none other than Beetlejuice himself, Michael Keaton, as Ken in the new film.
Keaton worked with Pixar previously voicing Chick Hicks in 2006's CARS.
Also, because I know you are all wondering, she says that Barbie and Ken do not kiss...but they do embrace. [...]

Quint von AICN berichtet von einer Disney/Pixar-Präsentation in NY...
[...] They told us that they cooked up the idea for TOY STORY 3 at a writer’s retreat with all the original TOY STORY people. Everybody to the person that was there for the first two were there hammering out the story for the third film, with the big exception of the late Joe Ranft.
Plot is what we’ve heard... Lee said that at the end of Toy Story 2 Buzz and Woody make peace with the fact that Andy will grow up one day. But, he said, it’s a far different thing to make peace with the idea of something than actually dealing with it when the day comes.
Andy grows up and is leaving for college. That’s all they would say in terms of plot.
They confirmed Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Wallace Shawn, Don Rickles, Estelle Harris and John Ratzenberger all returning. He did say Barbie comes back... and, for his first time ever big screen appearance, we’ll see Ken.
Michael Arndt (LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE) is scripting and Randy Newman will return for the score.
Also known, but still cool to get confirmation and solid dates for... TOY STORYs 1 and 2 will get the Disney Digital 3-D treatment. TOY STORY will be released October 2nd, 2009 and TOY STORY 2 is February 12th, 2010, with TOY STORY 3 getting a June 18th, 2010 release. [...]

The Walt Disney Studios is taking the latest advances in digital 3-D technology "to infinity and beyond" with ambitious plans to debut new Disney Digital 3-D(TM) versions of Disney-Pixar's Toy Story on October 2nd, 2009, and Toy Story 2 on February 12th, 2010, it was announced by Dick Cook, chairman of The Walt Disney Studios. Both of these beloved animated features are being newly converted to 3-D in advance of the June 18th, 2010 release of Disney-Pixar's Toy Story 3, which is being produced as a 3-D motion picture and will represent the state-of-the-art for the genre. Veteran Pixar filmmaker Lee Unkrich (co-director Toy Story 2) is directing.
Academy Award®-winning filmmaker John Lasseter (director of the first two "Toy Story" films and chief creative officer for Disney and Pixar Animation Studios) will personally oversee the creative side of the 3-D conversions for Toy Story and Toy Story 2 with his acclaimed team of technical wizards handling all the necessary steps in the conversion process.
Commenting on the announcement, Cook said, "We are committed to bringing moviegoers the best and most exciting 3-D movie experience, and we think they're going to love seeing Buzz Lightyear, Woody, and all the wonderful 'Toy Story' cast of characters in an eye popping and dazzling way. John Lasseter and the animation team are putting all their passion and hard work into making this the greatest 3-D experience yet, and we're excited to share their efforts with audiences everywhere."
Lasseter added, "The 'Toy Story' films and characters will always hold a very special place in our hearts and we're so excited to be bringing this landmark film back for audiences to enjoy in a whole new way thanks to the latest in 3-D technology. I am sure that this is going to be nothing short of fantastic and people are going to be blown away by the experience. With 'Toy Story 3' shaping up to be another great adventure for Buzz, Woody and the gang from Andy's room, we thought it would be great to let audiences experience the first two films all over again and in a brand new way. 3-D offers lots of great new possibilities for the art of animation and we will continue to use this new technology to tell our stories in the best possible way."
In converting Toy Story and Toy Story 2 to state-of-the-art 3-D films, the technical team is retrieving all of the original digital elements and rebuilding them in 3-D. [...]
