Lasseter Confirms Toy Story 3 and Upcoming Pixar Projects
The toys are back in town.

John Lasseter usually doesn't reveal anything about upcoming Pixar projects. Even though Toy Story 3 has been a known project ever since Disney threatened to make it without Pixar, Lasseter always dodges it. Finally, Lasseter has once-and-for-all confirmed it and discussed turning over the original Pixar property to a new(ish) director.

"We have Toy Story 3 directed by Lee Unkrich and Lee co-directed Toy Story 2 with me," said Lasseter. "Lee was part of the original creative [team]. I didn't let go of the reins. We're still doing it and Lee was a part of the original creative team on Toy Story and then he co-directed Toy Story 2 with me."

Whatever Toy Story 3 is about, it's got nothing to do with that summer camp idea Disney bandied around. "Obviously not. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know anything about that."

Lasseter has some other Pixar treats too. "The movie after Wall-E is a movie called Up and it's directed by Pete Docter who did Monsters, Inc. It's kind of a big action adventure starring an 80-year-old man. It's got a lot of heart in the story. It's great."

Pixar is also revisiting 2D animation with The Princess and the Frog. "John Musker and Ron Clements (Aladdin, The Great Mouse Detective, The Little Mermaid) are directing it for Disney. It's going to be great. We have an awful lot of animators at Pixar who have been trained in hand drawn. We all still love the art form. What I love sometimes is when creative people have tremendous constraints, brilliant ideas come out of it."

The Princess and the Frog and Up are scheduled for 2009, with Toy Story 3 set to a 2010 release. Wall-E will roll into theaters on June 27, 2008.

i could be walking into a trap here, what's "Up"?

[LaDracul]

It's supposed to be an elderly man and his forest ranger sidekick on an adventure in the wilderness.

From AICN:
Mr. Beaks Salutes Disney Saluting Itself!

TOY STORY 3
2010. In spectacular Disney 3-D! It begins with the day Andy leaves for college, and it will for sure return the voices of Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, John Ratzenberger, Joan Cusack and Don Rickles. The big question for now: who will voice Ken?

From IESB:
Beetlejuice Cast in Toy Story 3!

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.

From Animated News: Toy Story 3 plot details revealed

According to The Associated Press, during the premiere of Disney/Pixar’s Up at the the Cannes Film Festival, early rumors were confirmed that Toy Story 3 would show what happens after Andy grows up and goes to college. Chief Creative Officer John Lasseter stated “The thing they worry about the most is all the things in life that prevent them from being played with, and probably the thing they fear the most is being outgrown.” Ed Catmull also added “It feels like the summation of a trilogy,” adding that the filmmakers had hit on a big emotional finish to Toy Story 3.

[Nachokoolaid]

The original is one of my favorite animated films alongside Shrek and The Incredibles. I thought the second one was pretty bad and seemed like a shadow of the original. I hope this one is great.

Timothy Dalton Joins TOY STORY 3?? Plus More Plot Details Revealed...

[Fried Gold]

I saw the 3D rerelease of Toy Story today. I think it's probably the first intelligent use of the stereoscopic technique so far, and that it's had to come from a 14 year old film says something about comtemporary "3D" movies. There were none of those unnecessary "stuff coming out of the screen at you AH!" moments but a consistent, subtle addition of depth to the visuals of the film. It's not the main concept of the film and so the story, which holds up so well, and the characters are the key focus.

Hopefully Toy Story 3 will not be made purely with 3D in mind (a trap which so many of these films tend to fall into now) and will continue to concentrate on more important things.

..a great primer for the release of Up at the end of the week.

Watched the trailer (twice) at the Toy Story 3D event. Looks like... well... another Toy Story.

Honestly the CGI doesn't look drastically different between the 3 (they really did nothing other than re-render in 3D the old files for Toy Story 1&2.) I mean, with Toy Story you can get away with making everything look almost flawless because they are made of plastic.

[Maui]

Toys will be toys, but I do see a significant change in the rendering of the CGI human characters. More detail in their faces, how they show emotion, realistic human movements, etc.

Trailer looks fun!
