Here’s another round of rootin’ tootin’ Pixar mini-news in this edition of Woody’s News Round-Up:
Toy Story and Toy Story 2 at Bloomingdale’s: As part of a new campaign, select Bloomingdale’s department stores will be hosting movie displays as part of their upcoming Lights, Camera, Fashion promotion. Two of the films to be featured are Toy Story and its sequel! Behind the scenes pictures from Pixar will initially be active at New York 59th Street, Sherman Oaks, South Coast Plaza in California, and Orlando, Florida locations only. Read more about the other creative initiatives (featuring interactive, historical, and preview opportunities) surrounding this 
project from the official press release.

Mater’s Car Tunes Soundtrack: I don’t really understand how Disney manages to do this but here’s yet another "Cars inspired" soundtrack. It’s called Mater’s Car Tunes and features… you guessed it, Mater’s favorite music! The CD, which includes 12 tracks, is up for pre-order and will be available starting August 25th. If you want to check it out, here’s the link to Walt Disney Record’s page.
Toy Story 3D Airport Adverts: Many of you know Jeff Pidgeon from his work at Pixar and/or his Twitter. He’s taken some great pictures of Toy Story and Toy Story 2 in 3D Double Feature banners and advertisements around Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, CA. I guess it would be really exciting to be on the poster… all by yourself, promoting such an influential movie. Well, if you didn’t know, Jeff plays the Little Green Men (AKA Aliens) in the franchise — if I saw "myself" in the streets I’d get excited too! On the right you’ll see one of the pictures which he kindly allowed me to use, click here and here for the others, Facebook login required.
Gary Bruins on the Making of Up: I’ll leave you all with a great video (from Disney/Pixar’s own Dailymotion channel) featuring technical diretcor Gary Bruins talking about the making of Up. You may remember he was just lecturing this past week in Hollywood, so if you missed it here’s a taste. Enjoy!:
Until next time, y’all. Later Mater!
