As an exhibitor, I've been praying for a Toy Story 3. Every month when the new listings of future films come out, we always joke, "Where's Toy Story 3". So, yeah...I'm excited about this one, if all the original people are involved.
Can someone clear the Disney, Pixar thing up for me?

Well best i can explain is that they want more money from their movies but Disney wont seem to budge. So Eisner had tried to work out a new contract with them but again money was the issue (and i think creative control as well) So talks didn't go well and Pixar left negotiations and was basically on the free market for any other studio. Then owrd recently has come out that Eisner would be leaving earlier then expected from his position at Disney come 2006. With CARS being the last Pixar movie for Disney and coming out in 2005 i guess they thought a new beginning with the company could be met and i guess they were all rumours that a new deal could be struct. Whethe ror not that is true has really yet to be determined but so far it doesn't look too good.
If i were Disney i would be saying yes to almost anything Pixar would demand but i gues suntil Eisner is out then nothing solid will be met. I guess Pixar still have a small grudge against him i guess for screwing them on their original contract to deliver 5 original CGI movies. Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Finding Nemo and Cars being those five. Toy Story 2 didn't count as "it wasn't a completely new CGI movie" it was a sequel. Now they want 2 more
