New 'Toy Story 3' trailer and posters hit

DateSaturday, October 10, 2009 at 11:46AM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

There's a new trailer for Pixar's upcoming sequel "Toy Story 3" on the Web, and you can check it out after the jump. This one looks great, and it's good to have Woody, Buzz and co. back in action onscreen.

I'm usually not a fan of animated sequels, but in the case of "Toy Story," I am more than willing to make an exception. I'm really looking forward to this third adventure, and this trailer sure won me over.

In the Lee Unkrich-directed film, Woody, Buzz, and the rest of their toy-box friends are dumped in a day-care center after their owner, Andy, departs for college. But... no toy gets left behind!

First five minutes of 'The Princess and the Frog'

DateMonday, October 5, 2009 at 8:12PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

The Princess and the Frog

Walt Disney today posted the first five minutes of its upcoming 2D animated family film "The Princess and the Frog," which will open in theaters Dec. 11, 2009. Check out the opening scene after the jump.

As you can see below, this clip still contains a bunch of unfinished animation, which is kind of cool because it shows you how the drawings evolved into the final look of the film. It's also a cute clip, overall.

It's a fairy tale centering on a young princess living in New Orleans during the Jazz Age. Things get all strange when she encounters a talking frog asking her for a kiss... a kiss that will literally transform her life.
