Some Toy Story 3 tidbits from EW.com
First, from a prediction of this weekend’s box office:
Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the summer of Pixar. Once all the dust settles on this summer of unoriginality, the one shining bright spot will be Pixar’s latest adventure following Buzz and Woody. In fact, the film was beloved by audiences over the last week, it already earned $155 million in the last six days. This movie is sure to beat Iron Man 2‘s overall gross, and will most likely become the highest-grossing film of the summer.
I had predicted (before it opened - really!!!) that this will be the biggest movie of the summer because A) its Brilliant B) it appeals to all ages and C) Its BRILLIANT!
Yesterday at Box Office Mojo they reported: "Dominating the box office, Toy Story 3 grossed a stellar $167.6 million in its first seven days." ...to infinity....and BEYOND!!!
Second, check out this http://movie-critics.ew.com/2010/06/21/its-okay-for-men-to-cry-at-toy-story-3/ I will go on record that I and my similarly aged movie buddy also cried for the last half hour or so... mush ball that I am I was teary in several other moments during the film. But I (and the entire audience) also laughed uproariously during the film, too. It has everything you could want in entertainment: action, romance, fun, tenderness, betrayal, heroics...Shakespeare would love this.
And BIG story… the boy behind the voice of ANDY:
http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/06/18/toy-story-3-john-morris-andy/ that was online in June 18th.
Interesting that in the latest print issue, (dated July 2) the article has a bit different information: He went to an open call for boys, who were told to bring their one favorite toy. “I brought 45 X-Men figures and dumped them all out on the floor,” says Morris, now 25. “I remember [the Pixar team] bursting out in laughter. I couldn’t choose just one. It was all part of a set. I think Pixar got that.”
How perfect…and how great that the PIXAR team recognized it. Also cool that they kept the same actor for all 3 movies…
OK, that’s it.
Namaste, Yinz
