Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the gang

To celebrate the upcoming 3D re-release of the Toy Story/Toy Story 2 double feature, Disney is doing a seven part video feature with John Lasseter (here). Some of you who know me, know I love all things Pixar. John Lasseter is kind of a hero for me. He does what I wish I had been talented enough to do in life and he is unabashedly a grown kid. At the same time, he’s obviously a brilliant story teller and seems to be a truly kind hearted individual.

This first video has him explaining the new toys (which I HOPE to pick up as they look amazing) for the Toy Story series. They have a new Toy Story Collection that are supposed to be exact replicas of what the toys would really be. I’ve seen the Woody, Buzz, and Aliens and all three are VERY nicely detailed, but pricey. Still, I want to get them You could think from the video that he was just a shill trying to push the sale of the toys, but from everything I’ve seen, he’s being downright honest. He does seem to truly love the toys and hope people get the same enjoyment out of them.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video…
