Pixar’s Toy Story 3 earns Disney another spot in the $1 billion club
Not only are the toys back in town, the toys are in the money! Just last week, Pixar’s Toy Story 3 became the highest grossing animated film of all time, besting DreamWorks Animations’ Shrek 2. A few weeks before that, the Disney film crossed the $400 million dollar mark. Now, the box office receipts make it official, as Toy Story 3 moves into the incredibly exclusive $1 billion dollar club. Ignoring the concept of inflation, there are only 6 other movies in this famous grouping, which helps set Toy Story 3 aside as one of the greatest films and accomplishments of all time – just edging out Batman’s The Dark Knight. With the third, and reportedly final installment in the trilogy, the Toy Story franchise will forever be known as one of the most successful. Take a look at the rest of the list (more… )

Disney’s Toy Story 3 tops DreamWorks’ Shrek 2 as top earning animated film
For 6 years now, Shrek 2 has remained on top of the mountain as the all-time highest grossing animated film, dethroning the Lion King after Disney’s animated classic had a 10 year reign. As of this past week, there’s a new boss in town, Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 3. The 3D sequel juggernaut has earned over $920 million worldwide in the box office (over $400 million locally) besting Shrek’s $919.8 million. As the speed is dying down a bit since the June 18th launch, experts are unsure whether the film will have the legs to reach the $1 billion global plateau. However, the film is already Disney/Pixar’s highest grossing weekend with $109 million, and holds the title of the biggest June opening ever. And thankfully for us at home, Disney Studios Home Entertainment will release Toy Story 3 on Blu-ray and DVD on November 2, 2010. (more… )

Disney removes Pixar’s Newt from the schedule
Pixar has championed some of the greatest animated films of the past 15 years. Heck, they’ve been responsible for some of the best cinematic experiences, animated or otherwise, during that span. And, for every awesome project they’ve completed, there are dozens if not hundreds of more ideas that never made it to completion. Sadly, one of the expected upcoming films, Newt, could share that same doomed fate. In a recent schedule reshuffling that saw Beauty and the Beast 3D get pulled from the calendar, Disney’s Newt was silently removed, as well. The Pixar film was intended to hit theaters in 2012, focusing on the last two blue-footed newts on earth, hoping to save their species from extinction. Unfortunately, it seems Newt was not successful in his quest. We’ll keep pushing for details, but… it’s not looking likely
