Hopefully other shorts such as Lorenzo and Glago's Guest (and many others) will be added to this Disney Video site.

Toy Story Hawaiian Vacation

Here's two just-released stills from Toy Story Hawaiian Vacation, the Pixar short that will be shown in front of Cars 2:

I think shorts like this are a great way for people to see familiar characters again without the weight and potential drag of another complete feature film. I impetuously wrote Brad Bird one time saying he should do some shorts based on The Incredibles. Maybe that will still happen. Or maybe not. But it would be nice.

Toy Story 3 Diorama

Stopped by Disney's California Adventure earlier today and went to the Animation building. In the area where they have the Toy Story Zoetrope they have a new diorama showing Andy's teenaged bedroom:



At least I figured it was the teenaged Andy's bedroom. There was no Toy Story logo to be seen but then I had my suspicion confirmed when I got closer and could see several characters from the movies peeking out from a toy chest:

Theater Standees

Here's a couple standees I saw when I went the other night to see Toy Story in 3D:

By the way, the 3D Toy Story was a great experience. It had been a long time since I'd seen it so it was fun getting reacquainted with it again and I liked the bit they showed before the first movie started and all the fun stuff during the intermission. They could probably make a new "Art of" book just from that new material. Here's a couple pictures:

When I was getting my ticket at the box office I asked if I could come back to see Toy Story 2 since I knew I wasn't going to have time to see both and they said that was okay so I'm hoping they make good on their word when I try to go back in a few days to catch the second act.

Toy Story 3 Trailer

Yahoo! Movies has just premiered the (first?) official trailer for Toy Story 3:

Other viewing options are available at the Apple - Trailers page. I'm pretty sure the music near the end is taken right from The Mask of Zorro, which I don't mind since I own that soundtrack and have listened to it a lot.
