Cinematical is not too impressed with Disney's pitch for the next Toy Story (minus Pixar) . . . Disney Sets Off to Ruin 3D Animation with Toy Story 3 . . . hey, the projected plot has the characters going to Taiwan to rescue a recalled Buzz:
Disney has announced that they are proceeding with production of a Pixar-less Toy Story 3 under its contractual right to produce sequels to the Disney/Pixar films. At a recent recruitment pitch, Disney offered up story details. Buzz Lightyear is recalled to Taiwan after a series of malfunctions. Learning of a productwide recall, all the toys in Andy's room, under Woody's leadership, head to Taiwan to save Buzz from doom. This surprisingly doesn't sound bad. But do I have faith that Disney can pull off a good Toy Story sequel without Pixar? Not possible.
While I like the idea of setting the piece in Taiwan, this sounds too much like the second film . . . why rehash? Also, I fear they'll just do a bunch of lame Made in Taiwan crap product jokes that don't show what the place is really like. Please, no stereotypes or cliches. May be asking too much.
Please be a rumor that doesn't tell the whole story.
