Welp, “the creators of Finding Nemo , Up , and WALL-E ,” whoever they may be, have made something else that will probably be beloved by young and old alike. Some sort of “toy” “story” “3″?

Toy Story 3 has so many toys. How many? FOURTEEN NEW TOYS, plus the cowboy one, spaceman one, and the other ones. Pixar would like to introduce these new fellas to you early so that you can get a jump on consuming products adorned with them. So meet these three captive seeds: Peas-in-a-Pod will quickly become a parent’s favorite on-the-go toy. The soft, plush pod secures the happy peas inside with a durable metal zipper, making it perfect for the car or stroller. The Peas-in-a-Pod plush toy also develops fine motor skills by catering to a child’s natural grab instinct. Pulling the three peas out of the pod will provide repeated enjoyment for infants and toddlers, and soon they’ll learn to put them back in! Machine washable. Not for human consumption. Never too early to teach kids not to zip up their testicles. Toy Story 3’s Peas-in-a-Pod! [ComingSoon]

Finally, a video about elder care workers that won’t leave you nauseous at the level of physical and emotional abuse and neglect captured by hidden camera! In this companion piece to Up , you’ll have all of your questions answered about what happened with Shady Oaks employees George and Al as Up went on his fantastical balloon adventure. Still no answer as to why Scott Caan hasn’t sued Pixar for blatantly stealing his likeness, though…

Almost too real. You can’t un-imagine Luxo, Jr. being sodomized.

Ut oh, toys! Andy has reached the age of 18, which, as we all know, is the age when a young man finally stops playing with wooden cowboys, packs up for college, and starts listening to somber Randy Newman songs to indicate the gravity of the situation. Andy’s mom, like my dad, is eager to get that recently-vacated room turned into a den, and decides to donate the Woody, Buzz, Female Woody, Dinosaur Toy, and the rest of the gang to a daycare center. Now, since Woody hates acts of charity, it’s time to escape! Here’s the trailer that explains that plot:

I pretty sure what they’re implying here is that, in Toy Story 3 , the dinosaur toy will eat some sort of “3 capsule,” which will result in him splitting into three versions of himself, each personifying only one part of his Freudian psyche–one dinosaur of pure id, one of pure ego, and one that’s entirely superego–and each at a third of the original’s size. I suppose it’s also possible the toy dinosaur eating a “3″ is just kind of a cute, innocent way to present the concept there being a Toy Story 3 , but I’m still pretty certain my first theory is sound.

God, I wish the “no toy left behind” slogan were true. Sadly, I know a Battle Armor He-Man in a Waffle House somewhere between my childhood home and Orlando, Florida that would tell a very different story. ‘Toy Story 3′ Poster [Trailer Addict]

Fixing the series’ dearth of gentlemanly British characters, Timothy Dalton will be providing the voice of Mr. Pricklepants in Pixar’s Toy Story 3 . From Empire : Dalton will voice Mr. Pricklepants, a hedgehog toy with thespian tendencies. How he fits into the story, we’re not sure (could he be the story’s villain?), but if Dalton is allowed to keep his accent, he will be the first Brit to grace the Toy Story franchise, unless you count Andi Peters’ cameo in Toy Story 2. But we don’t. I’m just happy a man known for playing James Bond and other similarly dignified characters now has to add the role of “Mr. Pricklepants” to his IMDb page. The only thing that would be better is if we found a way to get Sean Connery to play a character called “Professor Sillybottom.”

With Toy Story and Toy Story 2 returning to screens in Gimmick-Vision Disney Digital 3D for a limited, two week engagement, Pixar has released a brief trailer to remind you that, come October, you can finally see the beloved films as they were never meant to be seen: with depth! As you can see in the above still, it gets pretty weird when Buzz finally reveals his feelings for Woody and completely exposes his lower half:

Back in 1983, long before Spike Jonze showed us that giant monsters look best as practical effects in sun-drenched forests, Disney owned the rights to Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are and were apparently considering making it an animated film. John Lasseter, then Disney emloyee and later founder of Pixar, did some tests to see if it would be feasible to use hand-drawn character animation over 3D backgrounds. Studio heads decided the technique was “too expensive” and “what they do on Futurama ,” and Lasseter was fired shortly after. But now, thanks to internet, we can see one of those early tests:
