Coming soon to a theatre near you..... Toy Story 3! As it is only 39 days away, lets take a look at the newest PIXAR creation.
The plot, courtesy of my friends at Wikipedia:
Andy (John Morris), now 17 years old, is just days away from heading off to college, and his toys, including Woody (Tom Hanks) and Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), are worried about their uncertain future.
Andy plans to keep Woody and put the others in the attic, but his mother accidentally throws them away. Opening the trash bag they're in, the toys think that Andy is throwing them away on purpose. Jessie (Joan Cusack) thinks the toys should take charge of their own destiny, and convinces them to stow away in a box of other toys headed for donation to Sunnyside Daycare. Woody, trying to save the toys from being thrown away, realizes they're in the donation box. He tries to rescue them, but before he can leave, Andy's mom puts him in the box and closes the back door.
When the toys arrive at Sunnyside they meet many new faces, such as Lotso (Ned Beatty), a pink strawberry-scented teddy bear who is the leader of the Sunnyside toys, and a smooth-talking Ken (Michael Keaton) doll, who falls head over heels for Molly's Barbie doll (Jodi Benson).
The toys are keen on starting a new life at the daycare, except for Woody, who unsuccessfully tries to convince them that Andy hasn't abandoned them. Woody tries to escape, but ends up being taken home by a little girl named Bonnie, who takes him to meet her own toys including Trixie the Triceratops (Kristen Schaal), the rag doll Dolly (Bonnie Hunt), a Totoro doll, and the thespian hedgehog Mr. Pricklepants (Timothy Dalton). Mr. Pricklepants tells Woody the horrors of Sunnyside Daycare.
Before long, the other toys discover through Mrs. Potato Head's (Estelle Harris) missing eye that Andy is actively searching for them after noticing they're missing, and realize how much he still cares for them. To make matters worse, they also learn that some of their new friends aren't as friendly as they thought. When Woody returns to the toys they then come up with a plan to return to Andy's family, but Buzz is damaged during an escape attempt. The toys try to reset Buzz, only to make him revert to a delusional Spanish version of his old self, much to the other toys' discomfort and Jessie's amazement.
The toys now must all work together to get Woody home before Andy leaves for college.
I don't know about you, but I can't wait. Here's the trailer:
Like that? Here's the other one.
See you at the theatre June 18th, 2010.
In this inaugural edition of my book club, we will be discussing Toy Story: The Art and Making of the Animated Film, by the man himself, John Lasseter. I recently recieved this book as a present, so let's talk about it.
The book has a lot of concept art if you are into that king of thing. I like it, but it's not my favorite. But it is cool to see the evolution the characters go through.
Another cool aspect of the book is Lasseter's personal commentary on the making of the film. It is the best part of the book in my opinion.
Other things in the book are scenes from the finished movie and a halographic cover.
The book retails for $40 and can be found at Barnes & Noble online at BN.com and Amazon.com.
So I really enjoy Grey's Anatomy, as I'm sure most of you do too. I was very upset at the end of last season, when Izzy and George both died. Well, I think you should see this:
As a Star Wars fan, I was dissappionted to never go on Star Tours on my only trip to the world. But now, it has improved. D23 announces: STAR TOURS 2.0 (with Podracing!)
Well, Weird Al has done it again. Another wonderful song, this time an original. Why an I talking about it here? Because the song is all about the Jungle Cruise. Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy, because I am proud to present: "Weird Al" Yankovic's Skipper Dan.
