The 3rd movie from Disney Pixar’s famous Toy Story has taken a whopping $109mil in it’s first weekend, making it the second highest earning animated theatre feature ever (behind Shrek the Third).
An article on Entertainment Weekly also suggests that it’s not primarily the kids that are flocking to see the movie, but adults who were enchanted all those years ago by the first are also making sure they get themselves a seat, as well as the general masses who seem to be finally letting go of the age-old idea that animation is strictly for kiddies.
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts has given out their 2010 awards, the category we all want to know about of course, is the animation awards.
Not surprisingly, Up took the prize. You can watch the winner interview on the BAFTA website by clicking the picture above.
Producer Roy Conli has updated Disney’s Animation Studio’s page over at Facebook to announce a change in the name for the upcoming feature based on the classic Rapunzel story.
The film will debut at the end of this year in cinemas and yes there will be 3D, worth every penny extra.
Now live on Youtuve (as of 11/02/2010 actually), Disney have posted a generous, mouth-watering trailer for the upcoming sequel to the Toy Story franchise.
Best viewed in 1080p of course, click the image to open the Youtube page (since Disney disable embedding… Boooo!).
