Who knows, this could be the first Pixar film to out and out suck… but at least Toy Story 3 will have fucking LEGOs!
The toy bricks (which I’m on record as loving) have a subtle but pervasive presence in this new trailer, which gives us a good look at the dozens and dozens of toys that inhabit the gang’s new daycare center home. Obviously there is a batch of new toys that will be featured in some form or another as actual characters, but the environment is fleshed out with huge amounts of playthings, a surprising number of which look like Japanese novelty trinkets.
Beyond the new inclusion of LEGOs into the mix, I’m stupidly excited about the presence of several new dinosaurs, and a gelatinous octopus that already seems funnier (in basic design at least) than the obviously comparable BOB from Monsters Vs. Aliens.
Also, Totoro!
I’m amazed at how Pixar manages to step up their animation and design quality even when they aren’t leaping into some new exotic location. The vivid colors and textures, increasingly sophisticated lighting, and the sheer density of these frames indicate that this may be their best looking film yet, even if it does take place primarily in a daycare center.
I’m concerned with the tone of the trailer, which feels disconnected from the original films- the jokes feel “gaggier” than one would hope. The humor still hits a genuine note fortunately, and there is bound to be a bit of a tonal jump after 10 years. There is no denying the redundant feeling of the basic theme though, and LOTSO exudes a bit too much Prospector for my taste- I wouldn’t call this a sure thing yet.
If any creative team is going to get the benefit of the doubt though, it’s those at Pixar. This thing is gonna be huge.
The trailer can be found in many delicious P’s right here.

Ick. It is so creepy how excited adults are getting about this movie.
@ #1 How so? Just because it's about toys? Have you even seen the first two films (or any Pixar film for that matter)? Because whilst I'm not saying you have to like them, you have to at least appreciate why other people (yes, adults included) are getting so excited.
@#1: Keep in mind that a lot of people who are adults now were kids when the first TOY STORY came out. Pixar movies are always a big deal to people of all ages anyway, but TOY STORY is old enough to have a special place in the hearts of adults.
Mircalla is right its extremely creepy how much pixar is pimped on this site and how the slack jawed fans just lap it up. I rented toy story 1 & 2 for the kids, meh. Its ok, good movie for children I got no complaints but cannot fathom being excited about this or any other pixar crap. To think of all the eerie creepy pale chubby internet nerds out there who don't have kids and are excited about Toy Story 3, gives me the douche chills. I have said it before and I will say it again, if you are excited about Toy Story 3 and you are over 10 yrs old grow the fuck up! Watch Under Seige 1&2, follow it up with a Dolph Lundgren flick or two (Punisher & I Come In Peace) and finish with Jean Claude VanDams master work Kickboxer and trust me you won't care about kiddie cartoons anymore no matter how hard chud tries to force feed it to you.
lol trolls. just about everyone round these parts gave UP a long and sloppy blowjob, but when people get excited for a pixar movie about toys, it suddenly becomes creepy? pixar makes solid movies, and they are on a hot streak. why shouldnt we be looking forward to toy story 3?
Mircalla- I suppose your lesbian vampire screenname shows that you are a veritable paragon of maturity and non-creepiness.
and Chudfan- do you actually even like Chud.com? Despite your screenname, Your comments tend to imply otherwise.
Anyway… Toy Story 3 looks fun. Probably won't be as good as The Incredibles, but ought to be better than Cars or Bug's Life at least.
Pixar: Providing boring, image-conscious people with socially acceptable external indicators that they still have a childlike sense of wonder and aren't dead inside.
If you don't like Pixar films, then you must not like films in general. The trolls are out in force today!
Hey guys, I'm not a troll. Why so DEFENSIVE about a childrens movie?
For the record, Pixar is a painless way to
watch a movie with the kids…..that's it.
Never said I didn't like them, just that
the wild adulation from some fans is bizarre to me. And I'm entitled to my opinion.
I'm not a hipster, I'm over 10 (shit, nearly 30), I read, I like movies, I like art, I have a beautiful girlfriend, I own my house, I'm generally quite intelligent and I have to say I really enjoy Pixar movies. The stories work for me, the art is amazing and the way they conduct their business is a fantastic model of success. So in conclusion, fuck you all for drawing your shitty conclusions about how I shouldn't be excited about Pixar movies. How is my enjoyment of a kids movement douchey? Or creepy? I don't have weird ties to my childhood and yet somehow Im creepy for liking a well-made story? Fuck you. I like reading Spider-man comics, but I don't do anything weird like collect toys or wear clothing from him. I can objectively say I really don't enjoy the way Sam Raimi took the series, but I'm sure you'll look at my enjoyment of Spider-man as weird and creepy too. Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you.
