As Woody himself so devastatingly put it: “somebody’s poisoned the water-hole”. Please, John. Please don’t do this to us.

To infinity and MUPPETS

Pixar’s Toy Story 3 has gone to infinity and beyond in the last 7 days, making a record debut of £21.19 million.

For anyone who is debating whether to see Toy story 3 this summer, I can assure you that you will not be disappointed. Pixar delivers another side-splitting, visual masterpiece guaranteed to have you smiling (and maybe crying, but just a little).

With the final instalment of the Toy Story trilogy opening in cinemas this week, it’s no wonder that parents (and grown-ups furtively pretending to be parents in order to justify their DVD collection) are stocking up on the celebrated parts one and two. Already being hailed as one of history’s most successful film trilogies, it looks like we’ll be seeing a lot more DVD love from Woody, Buzz and the entire Toy Story team. And we couldn’t be happier about it.

OK, we’ve been promised that this time, this time, is the final venture out into the world of Toy Story 3 marketing before the film hits us this summer. Admittedly, team Pixar have dragged out this campaign for as long as they possibly could, drip feeding us pictures of new characters, posters and little hints as to possible story for months now. The most infuriating thing is that… we bloody love it.

Getting bored yet? Neither are we. Yes, yes it is vaguely patronizing to be spoon-fed tiny droplets of information about upcoming films like hungry chicks tweeting madly at their mother, but you know what? This is Toy Story. All bets are off.

I think it’s fair to say that if Toy Story 3 isn’t absolutely brilliant the world will rise up into anarchy. No pressure guys, but seriously, the future of Hollywood depends on you. Helpfully, initial responses seem to be overwhelmingly positive (but we’re still trying not to get too excited after being burned by Alice).

It’s becoming the norm for Disney to drip-feed us movie information, trailers and posters over a ridiculously long amount of time. But you know what? When it comes to Toy Story 3, we just don’t mind.

We’ve been getting little hints, pictures and whispers about the new Toy Story characters for months now, and we’re excited to report that today Dis/Pix have finally released the final poster with them all on it. And it looks pretty bloody epic. In a toy way. So the best way. Can you spot your favourite?
