Toy Story 3

[magicalwands]

I remember reading somewhere that when Disney Planned to make a Toy Story 3 the story line was to be about Buzz Lightyear Being recalled back to the Toy Factory in Taiwan. So the Woody and gang go off to rescue Buzz. Now I also remember reading somewhere that Pixar said that they would like to do a 3rd Toy Story but the storyline would more focus around Jesse the Yodeling Cowgirl. Below is a picture of a poster of the original Teaser Poster for Toy Story 3 when Disney alone was planning on making the movie without Pixar.

I think a Jessie plot would be much better than a Buzz one. It doesn't seem like a rumor because it's something everyone didn't expect (everyone expected a Buzz/Woody plot) and Jessie seems to be the only character that Pixar can tell a story about. Whilst another Woody and Buzz movie wouldn't work because all the ideas have been used in 1&2. There just aren't enough jokes and problems left they could create for toys without being repetitive.

Though I hope the focus does not shift from Andy to Molly. The thing I liked about the second was that it still had Andy.

there was a rumor going around wdw that muppets 3d was going to close to make way for a toy story 3d show & it was to take place after the 2nd films ending...but thats been pulled as well...in the works now is a toy story character meal instead w/ the toy story crew.

but yay- toy story 3!! cant wait to see this one.

Disney's version of Toy Story 3 was gonna be made by Circle 7, but frankly, I think we all knew that was just a way to lure Pixar back (of course all this was when Eisner was still in charge) I've also said many times Circle 7 would never produce a single frame of animation, I was right since they don't exist anymore. (did they ever truly exist anyway?)

Iger has said many times any sequel to a Pixar film would now be made by Pixar. It would be redicolous to have Disney make them now that Pixar is working side by side with WDFA.

Also, I think the main reason for this announcement and the fact that they're quickly moving forward with it is Ice Age 2, wich is making a HUGE amount of money right now.

I'll hope for a Jesse movie. Buzz, heard about him. Woody, know his story, Jesse, who's she? Maybe they will show the life on Jesse before when she was with, oh what's her name?
*thinks for 5 minutes*
I can't remember. Anyway, TS3, whatever it is, I'll be buying it on DVD, whenever it comes out. I hope for the best

Anyone NOT looking forward to this?

Now don't get me wrong, I'm a person who grew up saying "Toy Story is the greatest movie ever made" and still today loves BOTH Toy Story movies ranking them not only as my favorite Pixar films, but as two of my favorite movies of all time.

However, I feel this is no different than any DTV sequel IMO. Yes Toy Story 2 worked, but I felt it worked because the original left many "plot-holes" that were PERFECT potential for a sequel(moving to a new house, Mrs. Potato Head, "WOW A PUPPY!")plus with the character of Woody being rather unexplored when compared to Buzz, the idea of a sequel was brilliant.

Now though, there really isn't much they could do for a 3rd movie unless they rehash the last two.

Now if I were in control of Disney/Pixar, I would suggest a Toy Story t.v. series. I mean while there isn't enough material for a whole other movie, I do think there are a lot of colorful character that could bring enough material for a half-an-hour t.v. show. Plus after watching those "short jokes" on my Toy Story DVD, I just want to see MORE of those!

BTW, just look at something like "The Little Mermaid". When it gets a sequel, it gets labeled as "a trick from Eiser" or "a piece of crap" but when they make a t.v. show(an unbearable show that's worse than most of the "cheapqueals") it gets a bunch of petetions demanding it to come on DVD.

This could go either way in my opinion. Toy Story was great and the sequal to many was considered better, so a third could hold up to the franchise. Then there's the fact that it's another Disney sequal and those don't turn out the best.

This isn't a Disney sequel. It's a Pixar sequel. It would just be a Disney presentation of a Pixar film. Besides, Pixar's making it, not Disney.

this was just a rumor. the new meal will now feature jojo & goliath and 2 little einsteins...not toy story characters anymore.

It'd make more sense to NOT have a recalled toy on the shelves as opposed to keeping it there with banners on each of them.

Anyways, I'd have to be in the same boat as Justin (surprise surprise!). A third movie, while it could be enjoyable as we see more adventures, seems unnecessary. I mean, there was a bigger sense of closure after the second movie as opposed to the first, making a third seem like more efforts to milk the one-udder cow.

I don't know, Escapay. I believe that there is plenty more that they could come up with, and it would not be overkill. I mean, I sincerely believe that Pixar wouldn't even create another sequel, if they truly didn't feel that the story would be great.

While I wish I could 100% agree, we have to put in perspective that Jobs might be the one who is forcing a third, not Lasseter. It is his company after all and whatever he says goes, even if Lasseter says a third is impossible to be done.

I don't want to "try and turn someone away" from Toy Story 3, especially if they're really excited, but can you honestly think of a decent plot for a 3rd installment that doesn't involve getting a new toy, having a toy get kidnapped and having the gang rescue that toy or a toy getting abandoned and trying to find its way home?

As I said earlier, I can't think of a plot that wouldn't rehash the original two. I'm really positive this sequel is just for money. If they really wanted "to be creative" with a sequel, they would've tried at least The Incredibles 2 or even the other Pixar films.

But as I said earlier, I do think these characters are wonderful. And while I can't think of a decent plot for a 3rd movie, I can think of several great plots for t.v. episodes of a t.v. show.

Now The Incredibles 2, sounds good. It could have the same name as the video game: The Incredibles 2: Rise of the Underminer. Now this sequel would be tight. I wish that my copy of The Incredibles wasn't FullScreen, I hate yucky, icky, totally disgusting, unflattering, putrid, horrid FullScreen. I love the idea for a sequel to The Incredibles.

[MadonnasManOne]

I'm all up for a sequel to The Incredibles, as it is my favorite Pixar film! I am sure we will get a sequel for The Incredibles in the future. I just hope that it will happen sooner, rather than later.

[GhostHost]

If Pixar does it might be good, but after having Toy Story 2 actually live up to the greatness of Toy Story 1, it might be better not to possibly harm the franchise's image.

Agreed. Anything that might make a franchise too redundant is not a good thing. Tv series can sometimes get away with similar plots, but to keep a film series going, that won't sit well. You can only do it so many times before you get a load of "haven't I seen this before?"

Entertainment Weekly had a story about Toy Story 3 in this week's issue. They reveal the whole plot that the now defunct Circle 7 studio was going with. It's basically what we heard all along, the recall plot, but reveals a little more:
What was in the nixed Toy Story sequel? Don't ask Pixar. "We purposely didn't look", says original TS alum Andrew Stanton. But for the more curious, here's a taste of what would have befallen Buzz, Woody & Co.: A malfunctioning Buzz loses control of his bodily functions - random speech bursts, a hand popping off - and accidentally scratches his kid owner, Andy, with his pointy arm stump. Against Buzz's will, the other toys ship him to Taipei, believing he'll be fixed. But Hamm the pig, working the internet, discovers that Buzz in fact won't be repaired once he meets his toy-company makers becuase he's part of a massive recall. So the bedroom gang ship themselves to Taipei too, hoping to save their pal. Meanwhile, Buzz meets a bunch of caged-up recalled toys, including Cozy Rosey (a tuck-in doll whose heating element catches fire), Jujubee Bee (a Pez knockoff), and a tall action-figure gal with defective gams named Jade- to whom Buzz delivers a punning take on his signature catchphrase: "To infinity and be-yotch!"

It also says that John Lasseter is the main guy now working on the movie and that it will apparently be the final one in as it'll wrap everything up nicely. No news on what the plot will now be about but it'll be better than that recall one.

Who wants to bet a million dollars that every person who criticized it when it was being made by Disney as being "repetitive" are now going to say, "Oh this sounds so creative! I'm so glad those Gods at Pixar are fixing the screwed up Disney!!!"

No matter how hard Disney would've tried, the whole movie wouldn't have the Pixar feel to it. But more to the point, it's creative, but too creative and wild. "To infinity and be-yotch!"

[PixarFan2006]

while i don't like the idea of 2 pixar films a year, I wonder how good a third Toy Story will be. I'd be happy if pixar did make it. disney would mess it up by making it a DTV.
