Toy Story 3 to be Done Right
update: The Pixar folks have (perhaps unsurprisingly) decided to can Toy Story 3. Good sign that the right people have creative control.
Looks like Disney is putting the Toy Story 3 project back in Pixar’s hands.
Former Disney Chief Executive Michael Eisner ordered “Toy Story 3” into production after the two companies broke off talks over a new distribution deal nearly two years ago.
Current Disney CEO Robert Iger, who took over in October, returned all sequel-making to Pixar as part of the merger agreement.
“It was really important to me that the people who made the films originally … get a shot at making any films that were derivative,” Iger told analysts on a conference call earlier this week.
Bob Iger sounds like a decent guy.
