Pixar Fanboy

Lee Unkrich, our favorite Pixarian on Twitter, just posted some cool Toy Story 3 news via a video he made.

The biggest news is that Disney will be extending the run of the Toy Story 3D Double Feature to allow more people to see it. I kind of saw this coming, because why wouldn’t Disney want to make some extra money by having it stay in theaters longer?

Also, Kristen Schaal will voice a new (and as yet unnamed) character in the film. You may recognize Kristen from the Flight of the Conchords HBO series.

Also, the new voice of Slinky Dog was announced as Blake Clark. Lee explains that Blake was actually friends with the late Jim Varney, and that he seemed to channel him in his recording sessions. I can’t wait for June 18th!
