3D TOY STORY Upgrade and TOY STORY 3 in 3D

The Toy Story franchise will be upgraded to 3D in anticipation of Toy Story 3, which is being made as a 3D motion picture using the latest state-of-the-art technology.
Walt Disney Studios is leaping ahead taking advantage of the latest in digital 3D technology by taking Pixar's Toy Story and Toy Story 2 and giving them a completed 3D upgrade.

Toy Story will premiere October 2, 2009 and Toy Story 2 on February 12, 2010, as announced by Dick Cook, the chariman of The Walk Disney Studios.

Cook said, “We are committed to bringing moviegoers the best and most exciting 3-D movie experience, and we think they’re going to love seeing Buzz Lightyear, Woody, and all the wonderful ‘Toy Story’ cast of characters in an eye popping and dazzling way. John Lasseter and the animation team are putting all their passion and hard work into making this the greatest 3-D experience yet, and we’re excited to share their efforts with audiences everywhere.”

Pixar's John Lasseter is personally overseeing the 3D conversion for Toy Story and Toy Story 2 where all of the original digital elements are being rebuilt in 3D.

Lasseter added, “The ‘Toy Story’ films and characters will always hold a very special place in our hearts and we’re so excited to be bringing this landmark film back for audiences to enjoy in a whole new way thanks to the latest in 3-D technology. I am sure that this is going to be nothing short of fantastic and people are going to be blown away by the experience. With ‘Toy Story 3’ shaping up to be another great adventure for Buzz, Woody and the gang from Andy’s room, we thought it would be great to let audiences experience the first two films all over again and in a brand new way. 3-D offers lots of great new possibilities for the art of animation and we will continue to use this new technology to tell our stories in the best possible way.”

Disney-Pixar's Toy Story 3, will be directed by Lee Unkrich who was the co-director on Toy Story 2.
