Toy Story of Terror
Back in October Pixar announced that the next Toy Story short to follow on from Partysaurus Rex would be called Toy Story of Terror! Now Pixar have released more details on the short, set to air in October as well as an image.
The spooky short is set to be 30 minutes long with references to Aliens, Predator and Psycho. This will be the longest Toy Story short film and the original cast will return to voice their roles. Combat Carl, the name of one of the action figures destroyed by Sid in the first film will make return and will be voiced by Carl Weathers. The short will be directed by Angus MacLane who directed BURN-E based on Pixars WALL-E and Small Fry the second of the shorts that has been released since Toy Story 3.
According to TV Guide, who spoke to producer Galyn Susman the plot will see the toys spend a night in a creepy motel.
Bonnie is on a road trip to go see grandma with her mom and the toys are in the trunk, mom gets a flat tire and they have to spend the night at a motel and all kinds of chaos ensues.
With the plot taking place inside a motel I wonder how involved Lee Unkrich has been with the production process? The Oscar winning Toy Story 3 director has often stated that The Shining is his favourite film and operates a website dedicated to Stanley Kubrick horror classic. Unkrich is currently working on a Pixar feature based on the day of the dead.
Toy Story of Terror will air on ABC this October, no news yet on any UK release.
