After the success the 3D double feature of Toy Story and Toy Story 2 has garnered over its originally planned two-week run, Pixar has announced that the showing will continue for at least another two weeks.
Given how well-received the first two Toy Story films were upon their original releases, and continue to be during their re-release run, it can be anticipated that the upcoming Toy Story 3 will be met with the same positive response. Along with keeping most of the characters we all know and love from the first and second Toy Story films, the cast of Toy Story 3 will be expanded to include some new characters and new voice talents.
In addition to Tom Hanks and Tim Allen reprising their roles as Woody and Buzz, Toy Story 3 will also be making room in the cast for Kristen Schaal of Flight of the Conchords and Blake Clark of 50 First Dates.
While it has not yet been revealed what Schaal’s character will be, director Lee Unkrich has made it known that Clark will be voicing the role of Slinky, taking over for Jim Varney who passed away after Toy Story 2.
Other members of the impressive cast for Toy Story 3 include Joan Cusack, Don Rickles, John Ratzenberger, Bonnie Hunt and Whoopi Goldberg.
