Toy Story 3 Scrapped

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the toys-in-space dept.

Snap E Tom writes "The Independent Online is reporting that Toy Story 3 has been scrapped. This is a strong clue that the Pixar guys are firmly in control at Disney. The ground-breaking films were being milked into almost as many movies as The Sims has expansion packs. John Lasseter, Pixar's creative head, was strongly against the idea of third and forth movies, while the old Disney regime pushed forward with it. Now with Pixar and Steve Jobs on the board, Lasseter has taken the necessary steps to prevent the franchise from being diluted."

    I think they should have released it and called it

      The story on that one is quite good. A cyborg from the future is sent into the past to prevent Bambi from overthrowing the Matrix by killing his mother sooner so that he is never born. I know, it sounds a bit like the first one, but this time the robot is made of liquid metal.

      Apparently there's a bullettime sequence of Thumper getting redmisted.

      I can't wait for the videogame spinoff.

    According to talk in Hollywood, Disney was struggling with a script in which Buzz Lightyear, one of the two stars, developed a fault and had to be recalled to Taiwan for repairs.

    That sounds like a reasonably good premise, actually.

    I am likewise firmly against movies being created with FORTH.

    Eventually this spells the end of Debian. They will run out of toys.

    At the current release rate, we should be able to predict the date of Debian's demise.

      I have calculated the date of Debian's demise based on the 4 remaining main Toy Story characters. In 2952, after four releases, Debian will cease to exist. All right geeks, better start e-merging now, you might finish by then.

    All the names of the Debian releases so far have been based on characters from Toy Story. If there's no more Toy Story movies made, Debian will soon run out of characters, and will be forced to give up on making systems! :)

    [Neil is crying softly]

    Rick: Shut up, Neil, shut up! What's the matter?

    Neil: I'm sorry, everybody. I'm sorry, Bambi. I'm just remembering, like, that bit when you got lost in the snow, and the rabbit found you, it was so beautiful...

    Vyvyan: Yeah, I liked the bit where you shoved the drill in the virgin otter's face.

    Neil: That wasn't in "Bambi", Vyvyan!

    Vyvyan: It was in the sequel, Neil. "Bambi Goes Crazy Ape Bonkers with His Drill and Set".

    Neil: [gravely] Is that true, Bambi? Did you do a Disney nasty?

    Bambi: So what if I did? I'm not apologizing. My life collapsed after "Bambi". I was a lovable fawn alright, unusable for anything else. I took the Babycham stuff, sure, thanks to Mike here, but I was finished. When the porn "Bambi" came along, well, I thought, this is where I get something back...If it hadn't been for the chance to present University Challenge and start a new life, I'd be giving executive relief to woodland creatures to this very day.
