Interesting that it's confirmed now. Not much else to say.

It's actually been confirmed for a couple of years now, though circumstances have (thankfully) changed since the rumours originated. Back in 2005, when Disney's artistic integrity was really in the gutter and a split between them and Pixar seemed very likely, Disney was actually talking about doing a Toy Story 3 independently (since they would still have retained the rights to all Pixar films and characters made under their names). In the end, though, it didn't amount to much more than a dubious negotiation tactic on Disney's part - when John Lasseter took control of their animation department, their proposed sequel was shelved, and Pixar started work on a fresh one, the results of which we are seeing now.

EDIT: Oh, and I've heard that Michael Keaton's going to be in this, as the voice of Ken (Barbie's male counterpart). I don't know about anyone else, but I simply cannot wait to see that!

Yeah, I remember that, when Disney thought they were actually anywhere near as good as Pixar. Silly Disney.

However, as Jekyll Juice mentioned about John Lasseter, Disney's animation has a chance again (can't wait for The Princess and The Frog )

However, what I'm concerned of regarding voices will be Wheezy, the Penguin in Toy Story 2. His voice actor died in 2005 unfortunately, and I was wondering if Pixar was still going to include him as a character in Toy Story 3, as they are doing with Slinky.

But more on the subject of VAs is the returning of Tom Hanks and Tim Allen. Very glad they are returning, because the role would not be the same without them.

And even though 2010 is a long time away, Pixar/Disney are set to re-release Toy Story 1 and Toy Story 2 in Disney Digital 3D before number 3's release.

I liked it! I'm a big fan of Toy Story (and Pixar in general), and it looks like it's going to be good. The summary still doesn't sound very good, but I guess we'll have to see. I also think they waited too long for another sequel, but! I'll pass judgement when I see it. Thanks for the link!

Ah, I see.

It's strange that they waited until now to make the sequel, like "Mew" said, but oh well. As long as it's good, people will be happy.

Can't wait. I loved the first two and the animation looks great.

I must say, I'm glad Disney didn't do it without Pixar. I loved their solo CGI movies (sorry, I did; Chicken Little got me through some tough times) but if they really thought they could pull that off without Pixar, then I don't know what to say to them.

WorstPreviews.com has more info about the plot:

In February of last year, the Wall Street Journal revealed the first details from the upcoming third "Toy Story" movie, stating that "Woody the cowboy and his toy-box friends are dumped in a day-care center after their owner, Andy, leaves for college."

Now, during the Disney Animation Showcase in London, Pixar's John Lasseter revealed a few more details about the story of the new movie. And it turns out that WSJ's plot description was very close.

According to a clip that Lasseter showed, Andy is all grown-up and is getting reach to go to college, while Woody and the gang are being prepared to be sent to a storage container. At the last minute, Andy changes his mind and decides to hold on to Woody, who then goes on a mission to save his friends from a local daycare center.

It was also announced recently that Timothy Dalton (Hot Fuzz) has been cast as a stuck-up hedgehog named Mr. Pricklepants.
