Hidden away, then Brought Back to Life.

The Film that smashed box office in 2010. Yes this is Toy Story 3. Featuring characters from The Toy gang Woody, Buzz Light Year, Mr & Mrs Potato, Rex etc. Then you have your new characters, Ken, Buttercup, Lotso. Although are they all new characters.
Pixar is known for adding little film 'Easter Eggs' into their films featuring characters in which the film they Star in haven't even been released.
This said check out this screen shot from UP released in 2009.


















As it clearly shows Lotso first feature film wasn't Toy Story 3 but UP as you can see very closely at this picture. This then said, what other films has Disney Pixar put in to their films. Well if you want to know. Look very closely at the Disney Pixar films and you might pick something up.

Merchandise Overload

Since the film Toy story 3 has come out all I have seen is all different types of Toy Story Merchandise. Action Figures, Learning toys for children based on Toy Story, costumes even character torches. But apart from all the spin off stuff like the torches I have wanted some of the merchandise, more specifically the collectors editions of Woody and Buzz (in his original spaceship packaging and both with collectors certificates) and also the Aliens (yes they are soft toy but I don't care).

All of this stuff I do confess I did see in the Disney shop resulting in me actually going into the Disney shop which I don't mind. But as Disney are trying to create and ship off all this new merchandise there must be a problem which will creep up somewhere and as I saw, there was. While looking at the huge, changing selection of Toy Story toys (every time I go into the Disney shop there is some new Toy Story toy which wasn't there before), I did come across a merchandise mistake. Take a look at the photo below.













1. If you can spot the mistake then well done
2. If you can't spot the mistake and have seen the film, get a new pair of eyes.
3. If you can't spot the mistake and haven't seen the film yet (but who hasn't), then whatever time it is now to you, go out now and see it in the cinema.

The mistake if you haven't spotted it is that on the packaging it say Toy Story 3 when in fact RC Car wasn't even in the 3rd film alone with other characters like Bo Peep and Wheezy.

Advice for Disney, recheck your products before shipping and make sure you have staff and designers with common sense.

A Real Toy Story

Ok it has taken me a while to do this blog post on Toy Story 3 actually a while to do a blog post at all. Let me start by saying that it is really great and sure did live up to Toy Story standard (if you know what that is). Although there were a few different things to the whole film.

In every Disney Film the is a dark, scary scene for the younger audience, though in his film there was defiantly more than one dark and scary scene. There was a big change during the film into the dark side. It was a bit of surprise with the dark side that it did take, but some of these dark sides did come out really funny.

The other different part of the film that it was very emotional film. It focused on the theme of growing up, basing it all around andy growing up and moving on going to college. Though the growing up was more about the film. Through my child hood I have grown up with Toy Story but now to know that the last film has been made, it is the end of an ere. But to also know of a first hand what it will be like when I go to college and the feelings that I could possibly feel just had a turn on me.

My mum one day called me in to watch Loose Women and they were talking about Toy Story and that some men cried at the end. I think men crying at a film is some what ok depending on the film but Toy Story is one which men shouldn't cry but it does brake that rule due to the emotional side. I personal shed a tear, just at the situation picturing myself in Andy's potion.

A Coner rating for Toy Story 3 is
9/10 just because after seeing it two times it does get a bit predictable.

A new Toy Story

On Saturday, I went to see Toy Story 2 3D in the cinema. A bit disappointed with the 3D but defiantly not disappointed with the film in the whole. The last time I saw Toy Story 2 most likely in 2001 when I was 7.

Well getting older everyone gets wiser and learns new things and learning these new things you can put them into content. Watching Toy Story 2 I understood a lot more than I did when I was younger and this resulted in a lot of laughter. Watching it really felt like it was a new Toy Story.

And then talking to may friends today about Toy Story, the brought up a very good point. Due to release June 18th Toy Story 3, they were afraid to go and see it because we are teenagers and not kids, my one friend said

'Most of the audience who will go and see
Toy Story 3 would be around our age as we
were brought up watching it.'

Although, even if all of the people watching the film were kids (hopefully quite), I would still go. it Toy Story, no one should turn down Toy Story.

As a treat hear is a Trailer of the new Toy Story and some of the plot. Enjoy the very sad, happy, funny and exciting Trailer of Toy Story. A very very must see in Cinema this summer.
