Toy Story 3 Trailer in Glorious HD
added by newsBotAfter a leak over the weekend saw the new Toy Story 3 trailer passed around YouTube like a hot potato, Disney today officially unveiled the trailer that includes the first footage from the upcoming Pixar sequel.
In the trailer, an opening montage set to Toy Story's musical voice Randy Newman chronicles Andy's time with the toys. With Andy heading to college, the toys find themselves at a crossroads. For reasons unknown they end up in a daycare where initial excitement turns to a nightmare at the hands of unruly toddlers with destructive tendencies.

What to Take Away from the "Toy Story 3" Trailer
added by newsBotThe Toy Story 3 full-length trailer was finally made available online on Monday at noon, saying farewell to a childhood gone by. The trailer explains the premise of this sequel quickly: Andy grew up playing with Woody and Buzz and all of his toys, but that time is coming to an end. He's about to leave for college, and must decide what to do with his childhood toys.
After opening so bittersweet, the trailer shifts gears to the adventurous tone we're used to from the Toy Story series. This time it's hijinks at a daycare center full of unruly children, which seems to be more than the kids can handle.
