The third film in the popular Disney/Pixar CGI Toy Story saga is beginning production.
“Toy Story 3” will see a theatrical release on June 18, 2010. All the popular actors from the two previous films, including Tom Hanks (Woody), Tim Allen (Bizz Lightyear) and supposedly Don Rickles as Mr. Potato Head are slated to return. John Lasseter will resume helming duties.
The storyline hasn’t been confirmed by Disney/Pixar but rumors indicate the toy gang may be subject to a massive recall due to defective parts. Buzz Lightyear is the first to get sent off for overhaul, but fears among the group begin to emerge when it’s rumored that the toys are not being repaired, but destroyed, and so it’s off to the rescue.
“Toy Story 3” will give the franchise an opportunity to introduce new toy characters to the mix that could add continued life to the popular films.
Disney Chief Robert Iger announced on Wednesday that a 3D version of the film will also be released at the same time the conventional version premieres.
