Toy Story 3 – Lotso is a Cover Boy..errr Bear!

Who is Lotso? Well let me repeat some stuff posts we did over at BSCreview earlier this year real quick to get up! Back in May, Jonas Rivera, who who was a producer on Pixar’s Up told MTV that a new Toy Story 3 character could be found within their (then) recently released promo footage for Up. Where? Pixar is known to be masters of the Easter Eggs, and well fill you in with video and more below.

In that video at about the 1:05 mark you’ll see a bear under the bed, as Rivera told MTV:

There’s a shot where a little girl is in her room and the house goes by,” the producer said of a seemingly simple reaction scene near the beginning of the film, in which a young girl is surprised by the flying house soaring past her bedroom. “She’s playing with her toys. She’s playing with her little plane. She gets up, and she looks [out the window] – under her bed is one of the new stars of ‘Toy Story 3’.”

Later in the month it was reported by that the character’s name was indeed “Lotso” and is a probably bady in Toy Story 3 (a lot of digging was done by /Film that month)! For the first time I’m aware of the character is featured with the other big characters of the film – Woody and Buzz – on the cover of Random House’s, Ready, Set, Draw!.

Over at Amazon UK this has an August, 2010 release date! If you need more Toy Story 3 now, go watch the trailer and check out the new promo image from the movie!
