Everyone who is anyone knows my love for Pixar runs deep. They have consistently produced quality films that both entertain the kids as well as the adults. Their stories, their work ethic, their standards of excellence, ALL add up to one of the greatest companies and film studios around.

I’m sure most, if not all, of you have seen the greatness that is Toy Story, as well as its sequel Toy Story 2, but what you maybe didn’t know was that they were INDEED planning for and producing a 3rd Toy Story film. Not only are all of the original actors coming back to reprise their roles, this time around, they weren’t even given a script.

As Tom Hanks explained to Empire magazine in their interview with the actor, this Toy Story experience has started off quite differently than the rest:

“I have been in and done three big complete recording sessions and will probably have at least one more to do, possibly in about eight months. They did an interesting thing on this one. They did not send us a script. They showed us a complete story reel of the entire movie, with storyboards moving from one to the next, and the people up at Pixar recorded some voices with some music and sound effects. Tim Allen and John Ratzenberger and I went in a movie theatre, watched the reel and said, ‘This is great, let’s get to work!’”

For those of you that are interested and as excited as I am, the first trailer for Toy Story 3 will premiere with Toy Story and Toy Story 2 when they open in 3-D on October 2nd.

How amazing of a process is this? How many actors these days can say that they’ve seen the movie FIRST before ever working on it?
