The thing is, a lot of people don't know any better. Everyone I know has seen most (if not all) of Pixar's films, but less than a dozen of them even know what Pixar is. Most of them don't know who made the Pixar movies and some think Disney did (some of them even think that Dreamworks did). If Disney made Toy Story 3 and it was poorly made, I think it could effect Pixar's reputation.

But, I really doubt Disney planned TS3 just for "blackmail" purposes. Think about it...if that was Disney's intention, they would basically be admitting that they know their sequels are bad.

Yes you are probably right, corporate blackmail is a ridiculous idea! I guess I will just have to start taking my medication again. It is a real shame that so many artists have wasted their talents on a still born project. I wil try not to post on these messageboards while bleary eyed and confused.

The only problem is it might sound a little The Brave Little Toaster-esc. but instead of Andy growing up and bringing them to college, he donates them to the children's centre. it would be a beautiful story!

Why not just have Andy keep them and bring them out after he gets married then gives it to his son.

Building on that suggestion, what if they did a movie where the toys are indeed given to Andy's son, but they're rejected for being old? The worst thing that can happen to a toy is to not be played with (like Prospector), and the second worst is when a toy is rejected by its owner. They could show how the toys react to their own aging, and what do they do now that they're all replaced by the new flashier toys.

I think that idea is just about perfect. Andy giving his toys to his children is seriously the one of the best ideas I've heard.....ever! I mean, the boy we all got to know and love passing on his most beloved possessions to his children so that they can be as happy as he was? Just imagine that scene with a little bit of PIXAR magic and some "sad, yet happy" music; the audience would eat it up. That would provide an excellent sense of closure, and with that conclusion, nobody is left disappointed (Andy gets to keep his old toys, Andy's kids get to play with them, Andy's toys get to stay with Andy and be loved forever, and the audience is left with a warm, fuzzy feeling inside).

And then they end the movie with a reprise of "You've got a Friend in Me." Awesome. Wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. It was just cancelled!

That's an interesting concept, and I would love to see that in Toy Story 3 (if there is one), but doesn't that last part you described sound a little too much like the first Toy Story? It was actually what scared Woody most: being replaced. They made many refrences to how outdated Woody was compared to Buzz and that Buzz was much "cooler" and "flashier" than Woody. It's what set up the whole rivalry between them in the first place.

Toy Story 3 NOT canceled!

The following is a small snippet from Disney's first-quarter profit article:

Iger said Disney would release about two Pixar films each year, an increase over Pixar's earlier goal of about one per year. Pixar will take over production of ``Toy Story 3,'' a sequel that Disney's in-house animators had been working on, Iger said.

So, Pixar's going to release 2 movies a year. I wonder when that starts? But apparently Toy Story 3 is going to be one of them. All I can say is, I have much higher hopes for this now that Pixar is making their own film.

The rest of the article can be read here.

Let's hope Toy Story 3 turns out just as good as 1 & 2.

2 a year?! That's really bad! Nemo seemed to take forever to make the way they expressed it in the documentary on the DVD. I don't think it's good to shorten the time Pixar has to make films otherwise they'll turn out like crud. Especially since they're already used to the time frame of about one year.

Hopefully Toy Story 3 will make Disney/Pixar make more sequels like Monsters, Inc. 2, A Bug's Life 2, Finding Nemo 2 and The Incredibles 2.

Let's hope not. While I would like to see more of the <i>Bug's Life</i> gang, the only one of those that especially lends itself to a sequel is <i>The Incredibles</i>. Based on Pixar's track record, I'm sure they have enough originality to come up with new movie ideas. Though I <i>am</i> for a Pixar <i>Toy Story 3</i>.

They should still be pretty good. They are just going to step up the number of people working on the Pixar films which willl help speed up production time. Also they have alot more access now to all the latest advances in technology which makes the productions more smooth. We shall see though.

EDIT: Never mind. Someone already beat me to it.

i can see sequels to all of their movies, except Finding Nemo. to me this film doesn't really need a sequel and i'm not too sure if the public would really demand a sequel to this. i think a sequel to The Incredibles, Monsters Inc. and a Bugs life would be more understandable. but who knows, i'm sure that whatever pixar touches will turn to gold. i love pixar!

singerguy04 wrote:i can see sequels to all of their movies, except Finding Nemo. to me this film doesn't really need a sequel and i'm not too sure if the public would really demand a sequel to this.

Yeah, the ending for Finding Nemo had a sense of finality to it, whilst Monsters Inc and The Incredibles leave an ending that hints at possibilities for sequels. A Bug's Life ending also had some "finality" to it, though we did get that mini clip during Toy Story 2 where Flik and Heimlich talk about a sequel (which ended up being Toy Story 2, lol)

One suggestion I read for a Finding Nemo sequel would have Nemo be an exchange student, and visit the EAC (much like how Squirt was visiting the reef at the end of the film), and somehow, he and Squirt get lost, and Marlin, Dory, Crush, and the sharks would help find the two of them. Also, the Tank Gang would become some kind of vigilante school of fish, making sure that no other fish get caught by humans. Sure, it's essentially a retread of the first movie, but it's an interesting concept.

I think that if they wanted to do a sequel to Finding Nemo, they'd have to find a new type of story. You can only search for Nemo so many times before it gets tiresome.

I wonder something...if they make Toy Story and it turns out to be a total piece of CRAP, would they go back and try to make it again or even throw it away in the trash can as if it never happened? I really want good sequels and not bad ones for the Pixar films.

Monsters, Inc. and Finding Nemo should NOT have sequels. I can only see The Incredibles, A Bug's Life and maybe Toy Story being able to have good sequels.

I guess it's an old video, or maybe just an optimistic one, but I watched the e-presentation today for the WDW College Program, and in the video segment about films, a clip from Toy Story 2 with the logo "Toy Story 3" was shown. That's the first time I've ever personally seen the 3 logo, and just thought I'd share.

there was talk of putting in a Toy Story 3-D show @ Disney Studios...but I dont know if that's ever gonna happen. They are however-going to put in a Toy Story character meal @ Studios now...
but i think that clip was supposed to be a preview of the attraction that may never happen.

thanks for sharing.

According to an article on MSN Money, which is actually talking about Disney's 2nd Quarter revenues, Iger confirms that a sequel is in the works.

"Looking ahead, Staggs said the acquisition of Pixar Animation Studios Inc., which closed last week, will reduce earnings per share for the year by 10 cents, spread evenly over the next two quarters. Disney issued new shares to pay for the purchase.

Iger confirmed that work on a sequel to Pixar's "Toy Story" franchise has begun, although no release date has been set."

Will Pixar be making it or Disney itself as originally planned?

I thought that Toy Story 3 was scrapped awhile ago? I pretty sure that on some DVD that I have, it said that it wasn't going to be made. Oh well, I guess a third could be good. I almost liked 2 better than the original. Remember, I said almost.

When Disney announced the purchase of Pixar, Iger said that any sequel to a Pixar film would be made by Pixar. So, it would appear that Pixar has a story, and is working on it.

Since it is being done by Pixar, I feel quite confident that it will be great!

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.
