The #1 Animated Film of All Time: Yours to own on Blu-ray™ and DVD from November 17
Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment (WDSHE) and Pixar Animation Studios are re-opening the Toy Box to present the Number One Animated Film of All Time*, Toy Story 3. Celebrating its release on Blu-ray and DVD on November 17, kids of all ages will join Andy, Buzz, Woody and the gang for an exciting, heart-warming adventure full of surprises.
With Andy off to college, the toys find themselves accidentally donated to Sunnyside Day Care Centre. Woody and Buzz lead the charge in escaping to find their way back to Andy, ensuring ‘no toy gets left behind’, with the help of an armful of new characters, including the iconic swinging bachelor and Barbie’s sweetheart, Ken and the cuddly Lots-o’-Huggin’ Bear.
Filled with humor, adventures and touching moments, families won’t want to miss adding Toy Story 3 on 1 Disc DVD, 2 Disc Blu-ray Value Pack and 3 Disc DVD Triple Pack, featuring all three films, to their home movie collections.
Toy Story 3 marks Pixar veteran Lee Unkrich’s feature directorial debut and the return of Pixar’s favorite composer, Randy Newman, with the addition of Academy Award®- winner Michael Arndt’s (Little Miss Sunshine) compelling original screenplay.
Tom Hanks (Angels & Demons), Tim Allen (The Santa Clause), Joan Cusack (Confessions of a Shopaholic), John Ratzenberger (Up) and Don Rickles (Toy Story 2) reprise their roles as the voices of the iconic characters Woody, Buzz, Jessie, Hamm and Mr. Potato Head, respectively. Our old favourites are joined by a host of new characters, including Barbie’s love interest Ken, voiced by Michael Keaton (Batman); Timothy Dalton’s (Hot Fuzz) thespian hedgehog Mr. Pricklepants, and Ned Beatty (Superman: The Movie) as the pink, strawberry-scented Lots-o’-
Huggin’ Bear as the new members of the gang hold on tight for a new adventure as Andy prepares to leave for college.
Fans of all ages who have come to cherish these unique characters will be able to explore them in a whole new way as the Disney Pixar team provide an in-depth look at the Pixar Animation Studios and the creation of its iconic characters with hours of exclusive bonus features as part of the Bluray Value Pack.
