Toy Story 3 is coming, and it's looking fantabulous. I am really glad this looks like a real movie that's had love and attention lavished on it, and not a rushed shameless cash in. I don't want them to sully the wonder that is Toy Story.

It's great that the original voice cast are back as well. Now to see Up! I'm going to be ...
