Toy Story 3 (Four-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy)
Over the past year, Disney has really stepped up the features on their Blu-ray releases. I was blown away by the recent Beauty and the Beast features and I was really looking forward to what I would find on the Toy Story 3 Blu-ray
. I wasn't disappointed. A lot of the features really spoke about crafting the story and the artwork instead of focusing on the technology. When you think of a Pixar film, you assume that everything is crafted inside of the digital world. The behind-the-scenes features on the Blu-ray really show how much hand-drawn artwork goes into the movie.Don't forget to pick up a copy of The Art of Toy Story 3
by Charles Solomon--it is an amazing companion to the film.Toy Story 3 Bonus Featurettes:
John Morris - a spotlight on the voice of Andy from all three Toy Story films.
Cereal Bar - a charming look at Pixar by its own animators.
Lending a Voice - The major stars of the film discuss their role in the Toy Story film.
Dancing With the Stars - a very cute feature that looks at the creation of a special dace.
