The Story Behind Toy Story 3 + UK Release Date

News Toy Story 2 Toy Story 3

So what’s the deal behind Toy Story 3?

We’ve heard pieces here and there. Bits of interviews can be gathered into the full story. But nothing is as concise as Total Film’s new article profiling the story behind… Toy Story 3! Of course this feature spans all the way back to Toy Story 2 (some might even say way back to Toy Story because of a similar plot line) and wraps up in the present day as Toy Story 3 production is in full steam and Randy Newman prepares the film’s score

Luckily the threequel is safe in Pixar’s hands thanks to John Lasseter and team. Lee Unkrich and the wonderful Pixarians who are working on it right as we speak had no small part either. It’s looking like another major triumph already! Total Film’s piece reminisces on when the above may not have been true. You may remember the Disney-Pixar conflict from back in the early-to-mid 2000’s that resulted in a much needed buyout and/or Disney’s original plot to sequelize every Pixar movie without their consent.

The 8 page article chronicles every detail, starting right here, with an announcement for folks in the UK. They will have to wait until July 23rd, 2010 to see the third installment in the mega-popular franchise. Although it’s much less of a wait than usual, it’s safe to say we all anticipated a simultaneously worldwide release for our brothers and sisters across the pond.

For now, enjoy this informative and entertaining read while awaiting the toy’s return!
