At the Disney expo event last night,
Toy Story 3 director
Lee Unkrich and producer
Darla Anderson screened the first full footage ANYWHERE from the next Pixar offering and
Coming Soon were on hand for a detailed description which I have posted in full below. The reason I have posted it in full is because it gripped me. I was transported back to 1995. Woody and Buzz are lifelong friends of mine, and when I'm reading about what happens to them here, it's kind of like recovering a letter from someone you haven't heard from in such a long time. Every vague mention of something is precious. Before that, I just wanted to talk about some of the news that leaked this week. Former James Bond and the purely sinister screen villain
Timothy Dalton will play Mr. Pricklepants in the movie.
John Morris who voiced Andy when he was a youngster and who is now 24 himself has voiced the 18 year old Andy from this movie.
Jeff Garlin who voiced the ship commander in
Wall*E is cast in an unknown role,
Whoopi Goldberg voices, as does
Bonnie Hunt (
A Bugs Life,
Cars and
Monsters Inc.). Anyway here's the scene, make sure you read after the jump because it sounds fantastic...
The scene opens with Andy's room. It's recognizable as the room from his youth, but the walls are now covered with different posters and there's fewer toys on the floor. Andy's mom comes in and tells Andy that, since he's heading off to college on Friday (in three days) he needs to decide what he's keeping, what he's donating to Sunnyside day care, and what he's just throwing out. Andy's sister, Molly comes in, demanding that he hurry along in the process since she'll be taking his room when he's gone. She walks over to a chest and opens it, revealing all the recognizable toys, and making fun of Andy for still having them. The mom scolds Molly as well, saying that she, too, needs to get some of her junk cleaned out. The scene opens with Andy's room.

The mom scolds Molly as well, saying that she, too, needs to get some of her junk cleaned out. Molly heads off to her room (reading "Tween" magazine) and starts throwing toys into a "Sunnyside" box. She throws in an Eight-Ball and then Barbie as the other toys watch with horror from Andy's chest. Hamm has a great joke here, saying "I call the convertible!" while all the other toys are aghast. Andy opens a trash bag and starts putting toys in it. He puts in Jessie, Rex, Hamm, Bullseye, Mr. Potato Head and a bunch of three-eyed Martians. Soon every toy is inside the bag except for Buzz and Woody who Andy holds in either hand, trying to make his decision. He finally throws Buzz in the bag and pulls Woody aside for his "college" box. Andy pulls the bag out into the hallway, pulling the cord above his head for the attic but just then Molly asks for help with something and he has to leave the bag in hall. The mom ends up coming by and finding it, mistaking it for trash and carrying it out to the curb. Woody watches in horror from Andy's window as the trash truck approaches, now just a few houses down. He jumps to the floor and calls for the dog, Buster, who makes an amazing cameo, now old, slow, overweight and very, very grey. Realizing that Buster can't help him, Woody runs to the window and grabs a pair of scissors, leaping to a drainpipe and crawling down into the yard. Inside the garbage bag, the toys are panicked, trying to tear open a hole so they can escape. Buzz realizes that they might be able to use Rex's tail to break a hole and they all push him against the plastic. Woody makes it to the bags on the curb just as the trash truck is showing up. Avoiding the gaze of the trash men, he cuts a bag at a time, but finds only trash bags. Before he can reach the bag of toys, the trash man grabs everything on the curb and throws it into the back of his truck. Woody watches in horror as the trash compactor comes on, crushing all the garbage bags. Woody shouts, "Buzz! Jessie!" in terror and the scene cuts, to be continued.
