No Toy Story 3 Trailer with Up?

Disney John Lasseter Lee Unkrich News Pete Docter Pixar Toy Story Toy Story 2 Toy Story 3 Trailer UP

Blue Sky Disney is reporting that Up will not have a Toy Story 3 trailer attached, instead they will play a trailer for Disney’s much anticipated fairy-tale, The Princess and the Frog.

This is much like last year’s situation with the Bolt trailer in front of WALL•E so we can expect the TS3 trailer to play with Princess or the Toy Story’s. Speaking of toys, I’m thinking maybe we’ll see a Toy Story and Toy Story 2 in 3D trailer with Up, or maybe with an earlier Disney movie. Think about it, the first of these 3D re-releases comes out two months before Princess. Maybe we’ll get to see both…

Anyways, if the reports are true (and the blog points out the plans could change), this seems to have become a trend, since both animation studios are under Disney, Pixar trailers play with WDAS features and WDAS trailers play with Pixar. It’s all good because Ed Catmull and John Lasseter have been heading both studios, and last year’s Bolt proves that the dream team can make magic happen at both studios.

As a certain Pixar director put it:
"Good things come to those who wait…"

What do you think about this decision?
