I think this master doesn´t need an exhausting introduction. His fantastic animation films set new milestones in this genre and proved the disney-ized industry wrong that classic, 2D-animation is dying since cgi-movies like Toy Story and it´s sucessors appeared on the radar. BTW, I have the feeling that this new genre is quickly loosing it´s appeal due to weak stories and somewhat repetitive settings.

The long rumored third Toy Story sequel is happening, only this time it’s Pixar’s guys in charge. Originally Disney was planning one without any of the people who made the first two movies, but with the Disney/Pixar merger Toy Story director John Lasseter is now running the Disney animation department. What that means for you and me is we’re getting a good movie.

Armed with Lasseter's notes, (I still have them, by the way) the writers and board crew went back to work fixing the story problems. New people had come on board as "Toy Story 2" began to pick up momentum. Dan Jeup was our new Head of Story, and David Salter joined Edie Bleiman in Editorial. Over time, more artists and animators would join the crew as they spun off of "A Bug's life."

The movie contains a childs sense of fun with jokes adult will also enjoy, a move first seen in Toy Story, and used is many animated films since.

Mi superhéroe es un tanto peculiar, ya que se trata de Buzz Light Year, uno de los protagonistas de Toy Story. Aunque ya había hecho algo con este personaje, quiero hacer una versión más madura en cuanto a texturas, iluminación y rig, así que lo he empezado de nuevo para obtener un resultado mejor. Además mi superéroe desentona un poco, ya que los demás van a hacer héroes como Lobezno, Hulk, Batman y similares. Como siempre, dando el cante.

As it stands my second year of University has just about finished. I have a 2500 drama report due on June 1st, the same day I have an exam on Maya which is the software Toy Story was made on. However, instead of making a 90min movie, I must create a 30s animation (decided on the day) in three hours - this sounds easy as I type it but it isn’t, it really isn’t.

Joe Ranft, died yesterday. He was the head of Pixar’s story department, the voice of “Wheezy” in the Toy Story movies, “Heimlich” in “A Bug’s Life” and worked on many other animation projects before joining Pixar.

She is now in her room watching Toy Story 2, which I got from eBay. She’s become a freak for Buzz and Woody. I even scored some Wallies, so she now has Buzz and Woody on her wall, too. Oy, that room: Pooh bear, Toy Story, Blues Clues, Spongebob…it’s a hodgepodge.

According to Dark Horizons, mega-producer Joel Silver now wants to do a ‘Wonder Woman’ franchise, with Joss Whedon ("Buffy,” Toy Story , Alien 4 , Titan: A.E. ) writing the screenplay.

Just heard on the news that Disney studios has finalized a script and will be producing Toy Story 3, with an anticipated release date of spring 2008. For anyone unfamiliar with the Toy Story movies, these are computer-animated productions which follow the adventures of a group of toys that come to life.

Jar-Jar Binks. Do I need to say more? Yes? Okay, I will. Jar-Jar Binks would have been good if he had been funny. Now the justification that Lucas has used is that this is a kids film. But so was Star Wars, so is Toy Story, Shrek and Finding Nemo. But that doesn’t mean that the humour has to be of the slapstick silliness that Binks represents. He’s just not cool. Chewbacca? He’s cool. R2-D2? He’s cool. Even Yoda when we first meet him in Empire Strikes Back - irritating but cool. Jar-Jar Binks? Just not cool!...

This may very well be the coolest toysite ever. You know that boy on Toy Story, that played doctor to all his toys? Well theres a group in Australian, thats doing the exact same thing.
