Disney Developing Toy Story 3 & 4
Source: New York Newsday October 6, 2004


Disney chief executive Michael Eisner said yesterday that Walt Disney Pictures is working on two new sequels in the "Toy Story" series at the same time. "We're doing two 'Toy Stories' at once," Eisner said.

Toy Story, which came out in 1995, and 1999's Toy Story 2 were blockbuster film and merchandising hits for Pixar Animation Studios and for Disney. But their partnership is ending after two more films, giving Disney the right to make more sequels to its previous films.

A spokeswoman for Disney elaborated, saying, "They're working on different story ideas with the hopes there will be a 'Toy Story 3' and another after that."



============================================

God damn! You really have to hate Eisner after this! What a shit head! On the other hand it would be great to see Toy Story 3 under perform Pixars Toy Story 1 and 2, which just shows Disney can't tell a good story any longer.

No Pixar = NO WAY!!!

I thought I had read on a news site a while back that Pixar & Disney had kissed and made up (to a certain degree). According to this, maybe not.

Even when they were still corporate partners, it was understood that Disney would be going solo for Toy Story 3 & 4 -- they wanted exclusive rights to the characters.

While I wish DisneyCorp well in the long run, I hope all their computer stuff bombs. I will never forgive them (like they care! :)) for turning their backs on their own heritage and dismantling their domestic feature cartoon division. It was Disney's heart and soul--now it officially has none.

Doesn't surprise. I mean they made Lion King 1 1/2 and Cinderalla 2 and Snow White 3 3/4......... okay I made that last one up.

Straight. To. Video.

This is the cinematic equivalent of necrophilia.

If Hanks and the Home Improvement guy have any sense, they'll stay a good distance away from the project(s).

It will most definitely suck.

indeed!

Exactly!

I agree. I hope Hanks and Allen don't touch it with a ten foot pole. Pixar is the heart of Toy Story. Not Disney.

Eisner is a money grubbing whore. Unfortunately these will be greenlighted before his exit.

i thought there was at least one Toy Story that was straight to video already... or maybe it was just adventures of Buzz Lightyear?

It wasn't CGI and rather unrelated to Toy Story.

because Tim Allen's career is going well

This is a terrible idea.

Well, it's not going that bad. He can always make another Santa Clause movie, which always seem to do well.

Hanks though, he can afford to do it. Well, they both can afford to skip it.

And, while some of the Disney CG stuff looks interesting, THIS should not happen. Stay away from Toy Story Disney! You didn't make it, you're not good at sequels, so don't bother!

Ugh.

Boo!! Hiss!!

Well Toy Story 2 was suppose to be straight till video till they realized how good it was going to be.

because Pixar had a vision and a plan for a sequel and there was a reason for it to exist, unlike every other Di$ney sequel that has been made that exists only to capitalize and rape the memories of great characters.

I am sure any TS sequels they make will produce millions up on millions of dollars from the average consumer who will see it no matter what.

:(

I dont see Hanks or Allen coming back for this. I expect it to be centerered around Cliff Clavin and Mr. Potato Head(gotta love product tie ins)

D

Why is there so many sad faces here? So they do it? So what? You don't have to watch this. I've gone for some time ignoring the spin off's that I've hated.

I don't mind that they make a Toy Story 2.5 or 3 or whatever. As long it comes out in a box set so I can buy the first 2 without paying some outrageous OOP markup.

Just one more :(

I would love to see Disney take this and make somthing great...but who am I kidding, I expect these will suck.

If Pixar decided to make another Toy Story and it sucked, oh well, but Disney taking this project from the creators who made two tremendous films, is just blasphemy.
