The way I feel towards Pixar is that it is an entirely different creative team than the team at Disney. I am a huge fan of each Pixar film that has been made and Pixar has a special feel to their films, much like Disney's past films have a certain feel depending on the decade. The reason I have doubts about "Toy Story 3" is that without the same creative team working on it, we could end up with a film more like "The Jungle Book 2" than the previous "Toy Story" films. Now, I am not saying that Disney would assign the team who brought JB2 to the screen to TS3, but I wouldn't put it past them to go into this project with the idea that the characters are so entertaining and loveable that who is even going to care about the story. They've done that with their recent theatrical sequels. I really feel strongly towards Pixar's needing to be involved with this or it probably won't work. Disney seems to be in a constant struggle to keep franchises going and to create new ones, wheras Pixar seems to be able to make a great film and let it be as is without a sequel. As far as I know, Pixar would like to make a "Finding Nemo 2," but is able to live without it and make new films. Disney, on the other hand, has stoped all 2-D animation to compete with Pixar's CG films, eventhough it's not the good graphics that made Nemo such a big hit. It was that the creative team is excellent.

Toy Story 3: Disney Alone? and Chairman problems
Copied and pasted from the imdb.com
Disney Plans To Produce 'Toy Story 3' On Its Own
Disney is planning to make Toy Story 3 on its own as a theatrical feature after its deal with Pixar ends next year, Disney Studio Chairman Dick Cook said Friday. Interviewed by Reuters in San Antonio in advance of next week's premiere of The Alamo, Cook did not rule out the possibility that the sequel might go directly to home video, but said, "My hunch is big screen." He added: "I think it deserves it. These are two of the most beloved characters in the last generation. Buzz and Woody are fantastic characters, and I think that is something that would fit on the big screen nicely."
Disney's New Chairman Under Fire Again
Although Disney's new chairman, former U.S. Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, has halted his work as a consultant to the company, he continues to receive payments from other companies where he is a board member, the Los Angeles Times reported today (Monday). The newspaper said that because of those deals some governance experts and investment fund officials have raised questions about his commitment to corporate reform at Disney. "You would like there to be consistency," Christi Wood of the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) told the Times. "The fact is, if he really practiced what he preached and believes in good governance, you would think he would not be doing consulting work for companies where he's on the board." In a letter to the Times, Mitchell said, ""I have always thought, spoken and acted with complete independence on the Disney board and on all other boards on which I have served."

Exactly, Pixar has better chances of getting the entire cast back for its sequels than Disney has getting back people for its recent direct to video sequels.Jens wrote:Yeah... Tom Hanks is up for a Toy Story 3 movie though, only not sure if he's up for Toy Story 3 from Disney.

And dont you think that the Pixar could sue Disney for making a Toy Story 3 without them or does Disney officially have all the "rights" to making a third film solo?
Disney has full rights to Toy Story, A Bugs Life, Monsters Inc, Finding Nemo and, being a Pixars contract wasn't renegotiated The Incredibles and Cars. This involves story, characters and logos. Disney has full "editorial" control - they decided what gets made, who makes it and when its released, be it films, computer games, books or toys.
One of the sticking points of the negotiations is that Pixar wanted to change the existing contract to obtain full rights to The Incredibles and Cars.
There's nothing Pixar can do.

--Didn't Disney get the entire cast back for the DTV release of Lion King 1 1/2? Last I checked a lot of people seemed to think that was much better than they expected.

Yes but that was created by the same Studio. I mean, I think Tom Hanks really liked the team he worked with on the movie, and that team is the Pixar team and not the Disney team. I saw on the Finding Nemo dvd that there is a lot of fun stuff going on there, I think they are way more relaxing than Disney. But that's just a hunch. Anyway, all I know is that it will be hard for Disney to get them back, but I bet they will get them back when they are creating this as a movie that is really being released in theatres (they always spend more money on their movies when they are going to theatres). So... let's just wait and see. It's on DIsney's list, but they are not thinking about starting the production process any time this year.swray1024 wrote:Toonaspie said:

The point is Tom Hanks doesn't need to do anything he doesn't want to. He has roles and money... big money lined up from now until doomsday.
He is also very picky about what he will play. He refuses to make a Forrest Gump sequel, even though there's a perfectly legitimate book (although to be fair this was written after the movie I think), unless Robert Zemekis directs it - something Robert has said he won't do.
I think (but I'm not sure) that Pixar had a hard time pursuading him to come back for Toy Story 2. I can't see him coming back for a non-Pixar Toy Story 3, no matter how much money Disney throws at him.

Well I remember seeing a making of Toy Story 1 (I think it's on the dvd) and in that Tom Hanks says he will never do voices for an animated film ever again. Then in Toy Story 2 Tom Hanks was clearly enjoying doing the voice work as I can see in the interviews with them. Now, I'm sure Pixar also had to pay a lot... But as you can see in the interviews Woody belongs to him, he wouldn't be the same without Tom Hanks. I guess he feels connected with it what so ever, especially after the Toy Story 2 voice work. I really hope he will accept the job, or that Disney just finds a very good voice that is very similar like that Mushu-guy that imitates Eddie Murphy in Mulan 2. For me Tom Hanks isn't really needed if they find a very good replacement, the famous people really don't make the movie.

I remember reading an interview with Hanks after "Toy Story 2" was released and in it, he said that what brought him back to do a sequel was the good story that Pixar had written. What impressed him so much was that it wasn't trying to top the original. I think that based on Disney's more recent sequels, they will try to top the first and I don't think Hanks will accept. But if he does, I will assume that the film will be good and start getting my hopes up. Even though I'd rather see "A Bug's Life 2" as suggested during the bloopers of "Toy Story 2."

This would be so cool Toy Story 3!!! Whoa I liked the first and second one a lot now I can't wait for the third one.Moviehole visited Disneyland and talked to the folks behind the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command animated series who revealed that a third "Toy Story" movie is indeed in the works.
There's movement on a "Toy Story 3". The troops behind the 'Buzz Lightyear' show know a bit about it, pointing out that it'll be happening at a different camp and that it is in the planning stages (pre-production?) and definitely theatrical.
The first two films were created by Pixar which has not renewed its distribution deal with Disney. The last two films in the deal include The Incredibles and Cars.

I think a Toy Story 3 is something we have to at some point, and something that could be great. That said, I don't think it'd be very cool if it's the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command animators putting together.
Of course, this "news" isn't much. But a Toy Story 3 done by anyone but Pixar is a bad move.

Yeah, there's a Toy Story 3 in the works, and possibly Monsters, Inc. 2, as well. However, if Pixar gets back together with Disney, these movies might not happen.
When I first heard the idea of a Toy Story 3, I got VERY excited. However, that was when I thought Pixar was doing it. If Disney is making this movie, well, we all know how most of Disney's sequels turned out. But I've heard some of the ideas that were getting tossed around for TS3, and they sounded pretty good. And if it is going to be a theatrical release like the article said, this just might be a good movie.

Wow Toy Story3. I mean that sounds intreasting and I wonder what the plot would be like?The good thing about the last Toy Story was that it was nothing like the first. And I mean no disraspect top the creators of the Buzz light year cartoonist but would they make the movie is that it revolves all around Buzz? Plus as much as I love Disney if the movie were done in 2-d I dont think I would be intreastead. but thats just me 
A toy story three doesn't sound to appealing to me. Why? Because Toy Story is one of the select few to have a sequel just as good, if not better than the original. And since PIXAR isn't doing the third one, I just don't want to see it done. No offense to Disney, but it's NOT THEIR MOVIE in the sense that they animated it, casted it, etc.
But whatever, it doesn't matter what I think, it'll sell like hot cakes and then there will be some TV show etc.

It would be cool if the plot of Toy Story 3 would be:
It is 7 years after the events of Toy Story 2 and Andy is already a big teenager. He doesn't like playing with Woody, Buzz and the other toys anymore. One day, he decides to throw away them. Extremely sad and frightened, the toys want to escape but then realizes there is another problem: where should they go to after escaping?

I dunno if you folks have heard of Jim Hill, but he seems like a crazy guy with alot of Disney stories (j/k! no offense) Anyway whether or not you find his stories surrounding Disney true:
This was an article he wrote about Pixar having actually planned a Toy Story 3, what it was to be about, and why it never got off the ground.
http://www.jimhillmedia.com/mb/articles ... php?ID=374 (believe me, it took me a while to find this article under the site's new format!)
I like the concept that was planned because it really connects all three movies as if a trilogy tale was meant to be told.
Of course if this is done by Glendale instead of Pixar then it wont half as great as what Pixar wouldve planned
And I tire of Buzz Lightyear, he's one of those Disney characters being juiced for all he's worth (and he took over tomorrowland!!!)

wow thats a great article now I am ticked becasue I finally understand the heavy fued between Pixar and Disney a little bit more and really it is extremly silly. I am not taking any sides since I am completley neutral in the whole situation.But I dont balme Pixar for getting upset first. This movie sounds great the perfect way to end all the Toy Story movies and I wish that this bad blood didnt exist and it would get done. I know it would be great and I have already said it I would not go and see Toy Story 3 if the Disney turns it into a cheapsequal. NO WAY!! okay so thats just me and my thoughts. Thanks toonaspie for the great article.
