At a recent press conference, Oscar winner Tom Hanks expressed doubts about doing a third Toy Story.
“I don’t know. The creative team that put together the original ‘Toy Story’ movies was very specific and quite organic … to the success of the process — not that there aren’t other talented people that would be involved,” says Hanks. “That would be a bridge to cross when I come to it.”
Also of note, Pixar CEO Steve Jobs and executive VP John Lasseter, who also wrote and directed the first two Toy Story films, aren’t keen on yet another follow-up that might change the integrity of the characters. But, with Pixar planning to end its relationship with Disney — which holds the rights to make Toy Story sequels — after 2005’s Cars is released, Disney is looking for a way to continue the CGI-animated box-office magic. The studio is in the process of setting up its own digital animation facility in Glendale, Calif., to produce Toy Story 3.
