Toy Story was one of the few movies I saw in the theater as a kid. I was skittish and shy, easily frightened by loud noises, skeletons, and death. But Toy Story seemed safe, so Mom dragged my reluctant self down to the Regal Cinema for a good time.I was instantly hooked. I went home and started drawing pictures of the characters, the surest sign of devotion my thirteen-year-old mind could conceive of. When the sequel finally came around four years later, I was less excited about the whole thing, but was still taken in by the charming story and appealing characters.

The first massively successful CGI-animated Disney feature, Toy Story helped to make Pixar the production giant it is today. And, more than that, it’s just a really great film, and its legacy is carried on in Toy Story 2. And now, finally, we have news of the long-awaited Toy Story 3.

It will be filmed in 3-D, a format that’s enjoying a resurgence in popularity after the novelty wore off sometime in the early ’80s. And to celebrate this, both Toy Story and Toy Story 2 will be re-designed in 3-D. Tim Allen and Tom Hanks are both confirmed to return for Toy Story 3.

Those of us who fell in love with Toy Story back in 1995 have a lot to look forward to. To infinity - AND BEYOND!
