About Toy Story 3 Movie:

Toy Story 3 is an American animated adventure comedy-drama film directed by Lee Unkrich and produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures. It is the third installment in the Toy Story series and the sequel to Toy Story 2 (1999).

The film’s ensemble voice cast includes Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Don Rickles, Wallace Shawn, John Ratzenberger, Estelle Harris, Jeff Pidgeon, Jodi Benson, John Morris, Laurie Metcalf, and R. Lee Ermey.

In 2004, after disagreements between Walt Disney Company’s CEO Michael Eisner, and Pixar CEO Steve Jobs, Disney planned to make Toy Story 3 at the new Circle Seven Animation studio, aiming for a theatrical release in early 2008.

The script went through multiple versions, but after Disney bought Pixar in early 2006, the Circle Seven version was canceled following Circle Seven’s closure. The production was then transferred to Pixar, where a new script was developed. There are 302 characters in the film, the most of any Pixar film.

The film’s first teaser trailer was released with Up in Disney Digital 3-D on May 29, 2009. The first full-length trailer was shown as an exclusive sneak peek during the Toy Story double feature on October 12, 2009. A second teaser was released on February 10, 2010, followed by another full-length trailer on February 11.

Toy Story 3 premiered at the Taormina Film Fest in Italy on June 12, 2010, and was released in the United States on June 18. The film received critical acclaim upon release, with critics praising the vocal performances, screenplay, emotional depth, animation, and Newman’s musical score.

Toy Story 3 earned $1.067 billion worldwide, finishing its theatrical run as the highest-grossing film of 2010. It is also the first animated film to reach $1 billion at the box office and was the highest-grossing animated film of all time until the release of Frozen in 2013 and was Pixar’s highest-grossing film until the release of Incredibles 2 in 2018.

With a budget of $200 million, Toy Story 3 is one of the most expensive films of all time. The film earned $415 million in the United States and Canada and $652 million in other countries for a worldwide total of $1.067 billion.

Toy Story 3 was nominated for five awards at the 83rd Academy Awards, winning Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song. One of those nominations was for Best Picture, thus making it the third and currently most recent animated film to be nominated for this award (after 1991’s Beauty and the Beast and 2009’s Up), although it lost to The King’s Speech.

A sequel Toy Story 4, was released in 2019.
