More Toy Story 3 Details, Straight From D23
As I start this post,John Lasseteris on stage atD23, delivering a string ofToy Story 3announcements. Thanks to the magic of Twitter, I’m able to keep tabs on the little bits and pieces from some 5,400 miles away. As I write, I’m very excited. I wonder what great news will come after the break? It depends on how far Lasseter goes in dropping news bombs. Already, though, I have some surprising casting news to report…
This was unexpected… John Lasseter has confirmed thatJohn Morris, the voice of the young Andy inToy StoryandToy Story 2is back for part 3. This time round, Andy is 18 years old. John, on the other hand, is 24. I bet he’s still got a Woody and Buzz at home, though. That is a sweet piece of casting. I like it. AndIMDB user jmcastrois going to be over the moon. As far as I can tell, John hasn’t actually done much since he last lent his voice to Andy.
More casting news breaking now. Also on the roster are Pixar vetsJeff Garlin– previously Captain B. McCrea of The Axiom inWall-E, andBonnie Hunt– previously Rosie inA Bug’s Life, Sally inCarsandMs. Flintin Monsters Inc – as well asWhoopi Goldberg, making her Pixar debut. Who are they playing? No idea!
Lasseter also reconfirmed the casting ofTimothy Daltonas Mr. Pricklepants, but no new info appears to have surfaced on that front. Doesn’t stop it being just about the most amusing thing I’ve heard in weeks.
The announcements have now moved on toWinnie the PoohandCars 2, and as far as I can tell, the info presented was just the same as we heard on Thursday. All good things will come to those who wait, I suppose.
