More Toys in 3-D???
As if Toy Story Mania at Disney’s Hollywood Studios wasn’t enough for Toy Story fans to handle in three dimensions, they may have all three films in the series popping at them in in 2009 and 2010, according to Variety:
The Mouse House is giving Pixar’s “Toy Story†franchise the 3-D treatment.
Studio will re-release “Toy Story†in 3-D on Oct. 2, 2009., while its sequel will bow in the format on Feb. 12, 2010.
The two pics will lead up to the newest entry “Toy Story 3,†which is set for June 18, 2010, and will also be shown in 3-D. Lee Unkrich (co-director of “Toy Story 2â€) is helming.
Move is part of the Mouse’s aggressive plans to release more of its animated, stop-motion or performance capture pics in the 3-D format. “The Nightmare Before Christmas,†“Chicken Little,†“Meet the Robinsons†were given the 3-D treatment, while its upcoming “Frankenweenie†from Tim Burton, “Bolt†and “A Christmas Carol†will also be shown in the format.
Studio said John Lasseter, who directed the first two “Toy Story†pics, and serves as chief creative officer for Disney and Pixar Animation Studios, will oversee the creative side of the 3-D conversions for “Toy Story†and “Toy Story 2.â€
