Toy Story & Toy Story 2 Blu-ray Debuts Marked with Lego Mural

To celebrate yesterday's Blu-ray debut of Pixar's beloved 1990s animated films Toy Story and Toy Story 2, Disney teamed with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and LEGO Systems, Inc. to produce a large six-section mural of characters from the films made out of LEGO bricks.
Parts of the mural were assembled at Boys & Girls Clubs in major U.S. cities: Washington DC, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, and Denver. Then, yesterday afternoon in Los Angeles, kids from the Hollywood Boys & Girls teamed with Pixar story artist Jason Katz (a veteran of both films who is story supervisor on the upcoming Toy Story 3) and LEGO Master Builder Erik Varszegi (whose creations include an 8-foot-long rendering of a Star Wars Star Destroyer that raised $31,000 for Hurricane Katrina relief efforts) to assemble the final piece depicting once-deluded space ranger Buzz Lightyear.

Enjoy these following pictures from the event and be sure to read our reviews of the now-available Toy Story and Toy Story 2 Special Edition Blu-ray & DVD combo packs.
