Toy Story 3 Comes and Conquers – Pixar Sets Record

Get out of the way, the toys are back in town! The early buzz (sorry) on Toy Story 3 is good, record breaking good, as the third chapter of Disney/Pixar’s franchise sets an all-time record for biggest opening animated film ever. Box Office Mojo brings the word that Toy Story 3 opens with an estimated $41 Million Dollar Friday, the biggest ever opening Friday for an animated release. To achieve the benchmark, Pixar just tossed Dreamworks’ Shrek 3 out of the way, putting up the 12th all-time best opening day ever for any film. Toy Story 3 nudges just ahead of another recent Disney film, Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, in the the all time opening day rankings.

UPDATE: We have a review up at BSC-throne world now!

If you ask me, it has to be all about Lots-o! We love Pixar both here and at BSCreview, and have been bringing you the pre-release word all year long, so we are happy everybody seems exited about it! Most recently we brought you Tom Hanks – the voice of Woody – talking Toy Story on Radio Disney.I think Damon Cap told me he’s going to see it this weekend, so maybe we will get his – and that of his family’s – thoughts a bit later.
