Since in previous blog posts I talked about Pixar’s beginings, starting the Pixar Image Computer and the Renderman software they created, and hence, used in dozens of films, both Disney/ Pixar and outside of Disney/ Pixar completely. Some the students in class wrote blog posts dedicated to the early short films that Pixar created. Since Toy Story 3 is soon arriving upon us on June 18, I figured I write a post giving you all a glimpse into the future, showing where Pixar is heading in terms of upcoming films.
Toy Story 3 (June 18, 2010)
Technically, starting with this film is the begining of the future of Pixar, since it’s not theaters yet.
Toy Story 3 picks up where it left off, but now Andy is 18 and heading off to college. Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the gang end up getting sent to a day care for little kids, where they meet more toys, and possibly spending the rest of there days there. The gang try to make an escape from the day care, and find there way back to Andy. But not before the day care toys try to keep them from escaping, so it will a fight for survival. Can Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the gang escape and get back to Andy before he heads off to college? We will soon find out!
Here is the official trailer for Toy Story 3
