I read about this a while ago, not sure if I am allowed to post the link but there is a site that details upcoming Disney movies.

Back on subject, I cannot tell my kids about Toy Story 3 because they will insist that we go see it tomorrow, and I will be unable to explain in satisfactory terms that we have to wait 2 years.

2010!!! yikes we were hoping for 2009. Either way we look forward to it!

 

[PinkBudgie]

I hope it really does come out and isn't held off for some reason. Toy Story is our favorite Pixar movie. We even named our new green bird Buzz Lightyear!

 

[PRINCESSplazola]

ooooo cant wait!!!! i loooooooooove toy story!!

 

[luvmyboys]

I hadn't heard this yet (I live under a rock), so this is really exciting news! My all-time fave Pixar movie! My sons will be ecstatic.

 

[dhlovesbelle]

Yay!!!! I have been hoping that they would continue the saga. What's 2 years when we've been waiting for what, 10 years? Has it been that long since the 2nd one? It hasn't been that long, has it? My 7 and 9 year old are very excited with this news. We'll see how they feel in 2 years

How cool! Andy goes off to college? Whaaaaa. LOL I can remember my son playing with his first Woody doll when he was 1 from the first movie. He saw the second movie in the theater at 2! I wonder if he'll want to see the third one at 12! For some reason I doubt it, *sniff*.

2010!!! yikes we were hoping for 2009. Either way we look forward to it!

In 2009, there is another Pixar movie being released, called something like "IF" or a similar really short title like that! That is why we have the 2-year wait for TS3. I think people have been clamoring for another TS sequel, because the first two were so loved and beloved, that this TS3 will probably end up being the highest grossing animated feature of all time. I have a hunch it will be HUGE at the box office. Now, there is a whole new audience for it from when the last TS movie was released, not to mention the ride at the two Disney parks has attracted new fans.

 

[pixiewings71]

Awww, how could Andy do that? Isn't he supposed to save them for HIS kids? lol
I love how the same actors are all listed for the voices, I hate sequels that changes actors or voices. lol

 

[Wavy Blue]

Oh wow. This is OLD news, lol! I remember hearing about Toy Story 3 being in talks around a year ago, before teasers for Wall E had even come out yet. A lot of people thought it was going to come out before Up, but that's no longer the case.

Nah, it won't be the highest grossing animated feature ever. It would have to do EXTREMELY well to beat Shrek 2, which grossed $436 million domestic and $880 million worldwide. That's not an easy record to break. I could see TS3 breaking Finding Nemo's record as highest grossing Pixar Film (which also beat out TLK as highest grossing Disney film), but think back to 2003--Nemo was in theaters LOOOONG past its release, and theaters were very often full. Records like that are not easy to break. And honestly, I think the longer Pixar waits on this film, the less well it will do. The anticipation will die. Take for example Indy 4 and The Dark Knight--Indy 4 was in development for YEARS that by the time it was finally released a lot of the build up had diminished. However, Dark Knight was in development for only three years, and now is already, not even one month since its release, the 3rd highest grossing film in the U.S., below only Star Wars and Titanic.

Not to mention that as far as animated films, Toy Story 2 is somewhat far down the list, behind many films including Shrek the Third, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Monsters Inc, and Shrek. It only beat Cars by under $1 million.

The next Pixar movie is called "Up" Here's a link to a teaser trailer:

And while we're at it, here's the link to the trailer for BOLT:

I'm hoping Bolt is good. I love dogs, so that part reels me in, but I'm hoping that its really good as opposed to just "okay" like Meet the Robinsons and Chicken Little were.

Thanks, DangerMouse. As I stated in my post, I knew it was something really short! So "Up" is what it is, and now that does sound very familiar! I tell you, without any teaser trailers, by that title you would have no idea what the plot is about!

I think TS3 WILL do extremely well. It may not out-gross anything, or it may, but I am sticking to my guns on it being huge at the box office! The Toy Story movies were way better than Shrek, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, etc. As I said, it is very beloved, not just loved. There is a built-in audience for it with us 'older' fans, but there is a whole new generation of kids who are getting exposed to Toy Story and the TSMM rides are only helping to add to the excitement. I think the anticipation will die temporarily because people will forget it is coming - 2 years is a long time - but it will build again in early 2010.

Oh, and as for Indy - that movie suffered largely because many folks had lost interest in Harrison Ford. TOOO much time had passed on that franchise, and people did not care to see 150-year-old Indy running around chasing things. Indy was huge franchise in its day, but not beloved in the way Toy Story or Finding Nemo are. And "The Dark Knight" reaped the unfortunate 'benefits' of Heath Ledger's death. It would have been a big movie anyway, but his death clearly sent people in droves to the box office.

Suffering? Over $776 million and the 24th highest grossing movie of all time is SUFFERING? It's by far the highest grossing Indy film. And if you don't think Indy is "beloved" you are sorely mistaken. After Star Wars, the Indiana Jones trilogy was the highest grossing film legacy of the 20th century. Not to mention Raiders, and sometimes Last Crusade, show up on top 50 lists ALL THE TIME. Yes, so do Nemo and Toy Story, but to say that Indy is not still a huge franchise is simply not true. In fact, on imDB, which is THE film authority of the internet, Raiders rates #17 on the best movies of all time list. Where's Pixar's first rep? At #26, with Wall E. And the next one? #135- Ratatouille. Nemo doesn't show up until #148. And this isn't just a group of ten people's decision. This is compiled of the highest concentration of movie goers on the internet. That kind of list is hard to dispute. Broadcasters still have to pay HUGE sums to show the movies on television because they are so popular. Same reason you hardly see Star Wars or Lord of the Rings on television. Also, Indy is not last generation. Combined with the sheer genius of the original trilogy, the fabulous attraction, and the release of the new film Indy has created a multi-level fan base, ranging from children who enjoy the adventure on film or of the ride to adults who were around when the first films were released. While recent Pixars such as Ratatouille and even moreso Wall E are much more mature, Nemo and Toy Story are obviously geared more to children. That's not to say that adults didn't enjoy them, but you are not likely to find those films on the shelf of teens or adults without children.

Bottom line: Indy 4 did PHENOMENALLY well. Dark Knight just did better by playing its cards a little more carefully (i.e. a MUCH better release date).

And I hardly think that The Dark Knight was THAT influenced by Ledger's Death, but rather his performance. It really was brilliant. I saw the film with a rather ill-culturally taught friend of mine that didn't even know who Ledger was, or that he was dead, and after the film she couldn't stop talking about how good the Joker was. Regardless, even if his death was an influence, it would never have the power to make the Dark Knight the #3 HIGHEST GROSSING FILM in the U.S. without it even being out for a month. Tomorrow will be the four week mark. You really cannot excuse that kind of phenomenon is based on the fact that one of the actors died. It's not the first time an actor has died mid-production, but any other films that has happened has not caused a response such as this.
