To our loyal readers:
Upcoming Pixar is aware of the full Toy Story 3 trailer (info here) being available online from as far back as early last week.
Now that it’s on the web and in higher quality (they tend to get deleted by Disney), we could post it. Many movie blogs have done so today, a choice we neither condone or dissaprove of. But since we’re a Pixar fan blog, we want to keep a clean, friendly and trustworthy relationship with the animation studio and its parent company.
With that, we have decided to respect Pixar’s wishes and not po
st the trailer on the blog until Monday. Who knows, we might even be sneaky and do it Sunday afternoon. Joking… or am I? What I’m getting to is that I appreciate your kind and prompt tips but we can’t accept them out of respect for the artists.
For now you can enjoy the rest of the Toy Story 3 character posters in this post! To the right you’ll see Woody and Jesse’s poster from Moviefone and Coming Soon, respectively. These are some of my favorite poses yet!
Check back here on Monday for the trailer in HD, something that you still can’t find online. Stuff to look forward to in the preview: Andy grows up and looks amazing. The batteries in B
uzz are from BnL. New toys!
I hope you guys understand my decision. It may not stop you from seeing the trailer (remember, toys see everything), but hopefully you’ll still have more to look forward to come October 12th! Oh, and how could i forget, you can still check it out in theatres with the Toy Story and Toy Story 2 in 3D Double Feature — only 5 days left!!
Update: Notice we’ve posted yet another brand new Toy Story 3 character poster, this time featuring Slinky Dog. It’s my favorite without question, and I kind of predicted it over here. Originally posted by AICN, can’t wait to get tangled up in Toy Story 3!
Look forward to the trailer coming to you on the blog at midnight Eastern Time.

It is probably smart to hold off posting it just yet, but you said to respect the artists. I have a feeling the artists would want us to see it asap. they’d show it as they were working on it if they wouldn’t get fired for doing so. I think its mainly Disney marketing at work here. but I guess its impossible to know.
That’s good I hate waiting so much and I have been one of many TS fans that have downloaded the bootleg trailer, but eh. Can’t blame me, right? I can’t wait till it is officially released online on Monday. I’m really hoping for some new updates as well because like other TS fans out there I haven’t seen characters like Bo Peep or Mr.Spell anywhere and it worries me.
I said “repsect the artists” out of whim. I actually did think about that, don’t they want us to see it already?!? But if you think about it, it’s their wrok and we should respect whatever the parent company wants to do with it as long as it’s done tastefully and with Pixar’s betterment in mind. Just think about this, most Pixar movies are technically finished a month before they are out, but I’m not sure the artists would liek to see it come out at that time without the proper advertisement and publicity tours etc. Not to mention it’s disregarding their wishes to make a profit so they cna keep making films. This trailer is a major selling point for teh double feature, so they are losing prospective money, y’know. I’m not condemming anyone who saw it online (although you should really see it in theatres) but instead I’m saying, as a Pixar fan site, it’s not for the better of the studio and it’s employees if we knowingly disregard their marketing tactics. Mostly because our readers are their target audience.
In a way, there’s a LOT of people that went to the theaters to watch the double feature but didn’t get to watch the trailer (because of some complexity at the theaters) and are upset by it. So this trailer being put online might put them at ease not needing to wait that long to watch it.
The HD trailer is available. I found it last night.
Yay for Woody and Jesse!! They’re the best! And as for the trailer, I LOVED it, it was funny and packed the same style of gags and everything previous Toy Story movies have had. The description on Wikipedia doesn’t sit right with me though. “Woody attempts to save his friends and find themselves a new home.” What about Andy?! Well, I’m sure they’ll work things out some way…

It’s JUST a freakin’ TRAILER.
I agree with your decision martini833. I wouldn’t post it either.
To the last anonymous. I clearly said go look it up if you want. Sorry you can’t respect my decision.
Thanks to all the readers and those who support my decision. 😉
