text: Malkovich and Rodriguez announced in November 2015 that they had teamed with Louis XIII Cognac, owned by Rémy Martin, to create a film inspired by the hundred years it takes to make a bottle of Louis XIII.[3] Although the film's plot remains a complete secret, on 18 November 2015, Malkovich and Rodriguez released three teaser trailers. None showed footage from the film, but instead imagine three possible futures, from a dystopia wasteland to a technological paradise.

text: Pending release, the film is being kept in a high-tech safe in bulletproof glass that will open automatically on 18 November 2115, the day of the film's premiere. One thousand guests from around the world, including Malkovich and Rodriguez, have received an invitation to the premiere, which they can hand down to their descendants.[3][4]

text: The safe in which 100 Years is kept was showcased at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival and various other cities before being returned to Cognac, France and the Louis XIII cellars.[5]

The wedding continues, but what is supposed to be the most memorable day of Mel and Madge's lives doesn't go exactly to plan. All was going well, then Janice's stalker, Jack, interrupted the ceremony asking Janice for "one last kiss." Then, Kate turned up and broke news to Martin, telling him she was pregnant - but was the doctor right? Just as Madge and Mel were saying their vows, Geoff’s parachute span out of control - wiping out a German family and kicking Mel in the head. Mel then fainted on the sand, with all the guests crowded around him. When he awoke, he had lost his memory and couldn't remember anyone around him. Taking in one of Donald’s suggestions, Mick punches Mel in the head (trying to get his memory back), but that just causes him to faint again. Mel is then taken away in an ambulance and Mick is taken away in a police car. As the guests head back to the Solana, Madge and Janice get a lift from a Spanish male (who turns out to be a murderer with drugs and a gun) to the police station and hospital, but instead takes them to a cliff and threatens to kill them if they don't stay in his car. They both are then taken back to the Solana, and they, along some of the guests, are held hostage - revealing he is a murderer. He took them to the rooftop and threatened that he would throw bodies off the roof if they didn't keep quiet. Mel then turns up in a helicopter, knocking the murderer unconscious with a bat, and holds & kisses Madge, finally getting back his memory. To apologise, the Solana offered the guests a free 1-week holiday for the following year.

document_title: Toy Story 3

question_text: who plays the voice of andy in toy story 3

text: Toy Story 3

text: Plot[edit]

text: 17-year-old Andy[11] is about to leave for college, and his toys have not been played with for years. He intends to take Woody with him, and puts Buzz Lightyear, Jessie and the other toys in a trash bag to be stored in the attic. Andy's mother mistakenly takes the bag to the curb for garbage pickup. The toys escape and, believing Andy intended to throw them away, decide to climb into a donation box with Molly's discarded toy, Barbie, bound for Sunnyside Daycare. Woody follows them, but is unable to convince them of the mistake.

text: Andy's toys are welcomed by the other toys at Sunnyside, and are given a tour of the seemingly idyllic play-setting by Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear ("Lotso"), Big Baby, and Ken. The toys choose to stay, except Woody, who attempts to return to Andy, but is instead found by Bonnie, one of the Sunnyside students. She takes Woody home and plays with him along with her other toys, which are well-treated. Meanwhile, at Sunnyside, a group of toddlers plays roughly with Andy's toys. Buzz seeks out Lotso to request to have them moved to the older children's room, but Lotso refuses. At the same time, Mrs. Potato Head, through an eye she inadvertently left in Andy's room, sees Andy searching for the toys. However, before they can leave, Andy's toys are imprisoned by Lotso's gang, guarded by Buzz, whom Lotso switched to Demo Mode (which caused him to believe he is a real space ranger, therefore turning against the other toys). At Bonnie's house, Woody finds out that Andy's house isn't that far away and decides to leave. When he mentions Sunnyside, Bonnie's toys asked how he'd escaped, asking them what they mean by "escape". They turn his attention to a toy clown named Chuckles, who explains to Woody that he, Lotso, and Big Baby once had a beloved owner named Daisy. When the toys were accidentally left behind by Daisy's family during a trip, they made their way back to her house, where Lotso found that he had been replaced. Lotso lied to Big Baby saying Daisy had replaced all of them. When they found Sunnyside, Lotso took it over, with Chuckles only getting out because Bonnie took him home, after he was broken, and fixed him.

text: Woody returns to Sunnyside and learns from a Chatter Telephone toy that there is only one way out of the daycare: the trash. Woody and Andy's other toys execute their plan but accidentally reset Buzz to Spanish mode instead of his old persona. Buzz promptly allies himself with Woody and falls in love with Jessie. The toys reach a dumpster, but are cornered by Lotso and his gang. As a garbage truck approaches, Woody reveals what he learned about Lotso and tosses Daisy's ownership tag, which Chuckles had kept, to Big Baby. Lotso destroys the tag and says that toys are meant to be discarded, but an enraged Big Baby throws Lotso into the dumpster. As the toys try to leave, Lotso pulls Woody into the dumpster just as the truck collects the trash. The rest of Andy's toys fall into the back of the truck while trying to rescue him, and a falling television lands on Buzz, restoring his memory and normal personality. The truck deposits the toys at a landfill, where they find themselves on a conveyor belt leading to an incinerator. Woody and Buzz help Lotso reach an emergency stop button, only for Lotso to abandon them and escape. The toys resign themselves to their fate, but are soon rescued by the Aliens operating an industrial claw. Lotso is found by a garbage truck driver who straps him to his truck's radiator grill and drives away. Woody and his friends board another garbage truck back to Andy's house.

text: In Andy's room, Woody climbs into the box with Andy's college supplies, while the other toys ready themselves for the attic. Woody leaves a note for Andy, who, thinking the note is from his mother, takes the toys to Bonnie's house and introduces her to them. Bonnie recognizes Woody, who, to Andy's surprise, is at the bottom of the box. Though hesitant at first, Andy passes Woody on to Bonnie, and then plays with her before leaving. Woody and the other toys watch Andy's departure as they begin their new lives with Bonnie. Meanwhile, Barbie, Ken and Big Baby have made vast improvements to Sunnyside, and maintain contact with Woody and his friends through letters.

text: Several other characters (such as Bo Peep, RC, Etch, and Wheezy) are only seen in flashbacks or briefly mentioned. The character of Slinky Dog appeared to be in limbo after the death of his original voice actor Jim Varney on February 10, 2000, three months after Toy Story 2 was released. Varney was replaced by Blake Clark. After Clark was cast to play Slinky Dog, the producers realized that Clark and Varney had coincidentally been close friends since they appeared in the 1989 film Fast Food, making the transition a lot easier.[17]

text: Production[edit]

text: According to the terms of Pixar's initial seven-film deal with Disney, all characters created by Pixar for their films were owned by Disney.[18] Furthermore, Disney retained the rights to make sequels to any Pixar film,[18] though Pixar retained the right of first refusal to work on these sequels.[19] In 2004, when the contentious negotiations between the two companies made a split appear likely, Michael Eisner, Disney chairman at the time, put plans in motion to produce Toy Story 3 at a new Disney studio, Circle 7 Animation.[20] Tim Allen, the voice of Buzz Lightyear, indicated a willingness to return, even if Pixar was not on board.[20]:2

text: Screenwriter Jim Herzfeld wrote a script for Circle 7's version of the film. It focused on the other toys shipping a malfunctioning Buzz to Taiwan, where he was built, believing that he will be fixed there. While searching on the Internet, they find out that many more Buzz Lightyear toys are malfunctioning around the world and the company has issued a massive recall. Fearing Buzz's destruction, a group of Andy's toys (Woody, Rex, Slinky, Mr. Potato Head, Hamm, Jessie, and Bullseye) venture out to rescue Buzz. At the same time, Buzz meets other toys from around the world that were once loved, but have now been recalled.[20]

text: In January 2006, Disney bought Pixar in a deal that put Pixar chiefs Edwin Catmull and John Lasseter in charge of all Disney Animation.[21] Shortly thereafter, Circle 7 Animation was shut down and its version of Toy Story 3 was cancelled.[20]:1 The following month, Disney CEO Robert Iger confirmed that Disney was in the process of transferring the production to Pixar.[22] John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, Pete Docter, and Lee Unkrich visited the house where they first pitched Toy Story and came up with the story for the film over a weekend. Stanton then wrote a treatment.[23]

text: This story had no traces of the Circle 7 version of the film, since the filmmakers did not read its script: "Not out of spite, but we wanted to start fresh, and not be influenced by what they'd done," said Unkrich. "We didn't look at any of the work they'd done. We really didn't want to know anything about it."[24] In February 2007, Lasseter announced Toy Story 2's co-director, Unkrich, as the sole director of the film instead of himself (Lasseter had directed the first two films and was busy directing Cars 2), and Michael Arndt as screenwriter.[25] 2010 was also announced as the tentative release date.[24]

text: Unkrich, who had been working with Arndt and story development artists on the film since the middle of 2006,[24] said that he felt pressure to avoid creating "the first dud" for Pixar, since (as of 2010) all of Pixar's films had been critical and commercial successes.[26] In February 2008, the film's plotline was reported: "Woody the cowboy and his toy box friends are dumped in a daycare centre after their owner, Andy, leaves for college."[27]

text: During the initial development stages of the film, Pixar revisited their work from the original Toy Story and found that, although they could open the old computer files for the animated 3D models, error messages prevented them from editing the files. This necessitated recreating the models from scratch.[28] To create the chaotic and complex junkyard scene near the film's end, more than a year and a half was invested on research and development to create the simulation systems required for the sequence.[29]

text: Instead of sending Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and John Ratzenberger scripts for their consideration in reprising their roles, a complete story reel of the film was shown to the actors in a theater. The reel was made up of moving storyboards with pre-recorded voices, sound effects, and music. At the conclusion of the preview, the actors signed on to the film.[30]

text: Dolby Laboratories announced that Toy Story 3 would be the first film to feature theatrical 7.1 surround sound.[31] Thus, even the Blu-ray version would feature original 7.1 audio, unlike other films which were remixed into 7.1 for Blu-ray.

text: Release[edit]

text: Toy Story 3 had its worldwide premiere on June 12, 2010, opening at Taormina Film Fest in Italy.[34] In the United States, it premiered on June 13, 2010, at El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, California.[32] El Capitan also hosted on June 17, 2010, a Toy Story marathon, showing for the first time all three Toy Story films together.[33] The film went into its wide release on June 18, 2010, along with a release to IMAX 3D theaters.[35]

text: The film was theatrically accompanied with the Pixar short film Day & Night, which focuses on what happens when an animated personification of Day meets his opposite, Night, and the resulting growth for both.[36][37]

text: Marketing[edit]

text: The film's first teaser trailer was released with Up in Disney Digital 3-D on May 29, 2009.[38] On October 2, 2009, Toy Story and Toy Story 2 were re-released as a double feature in Disney Digital 3-D.[39] The first full-length trailer was attached as an exclusive sneak peek and a first footage to the Toy Story double feature on October 12, 2009.[40] A second teaser was released on February 10, 2010, followed by a second full-length trailer on February 11, and appeared in 3D showings of Alice in Wonderland and How to Train Your Dragon.[41] On March 23, 2010, Toy Story and Toy Story 2 were released separately on Blu-ray/DVD combo packs; Toy Story included a small feature of "The Story of Toy Story 3" and Toy Story 2 included one on the "Characters of Toy Story 3."[42][43]

text: Mattel, Thinkway Toys, and Lego are among companies that produced toys to promote the film. Fisher Price, a Mattel Company, released Toy Story 3 with 21 3D images for viewing with the View-Master viewer.[44][45] Disney Interactive Studios also produced a video game based on the film Toy Story 3: The Video Game, which was released for Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation 3, Nintendo DS, and PSP on June 15, 2010.[46] A PlayStation 2 version was released on October 30, 2010 as part of a PS2 bundle and separately on November 2, 2010 (the same day Toy Story 3 was released on DVD and Blu-ray).[47] It was also the last Disney/Pixar game to be released on the PlayStation 2.[47]

text: Toy Story 3 was featured in Apple's iPhone OS 4 Event on April 8, 2010, with Steve Jobs demonstrating a Toy Story 3-themed iAd written in HTML5.[48] Pixar designed a commercial for the toy Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear and formatted it to appear as if it came from an old VCR recording. The recording was altered with distorted sound, noise along the bottom of the screen, and flickering video, all designed to make it look like a converted recording from around 1983.[49] A Japanese version of the commercial was also released online, with the name "Lots-O'-Huggin Bear" replaced with "Little Hug-Hug Bear" (Japanese:ハグハグベアちゃん/Hagu Hagu Beya-Chan).[50]

text: On Dancing with the Stars' May 11, 2010 episode, the Gipsy Kings performed a Spanish-language version of the song "You've Got a Friend in Me," which featured a paso doble dance choreographed by Cheryl Burke and Tony Dovolani.[51][52] Both the song and dance are featured in the film. Toy Story 3 was promoted with airings of the first and second film on several channels in the weeks preceding the film's release, including Disney Channel,[53] Disney XD,[54] and ABC Family.[55] Sneak peeks of Toy Story 3 were also revealed,[55] primarily on Disney Channel.[56][57]

text: Oscar campaign[edit]

text: Toy Story 3's "Not since..." Oscar campaign drew a lot of attention, emphasizing the film's uniqueness and critical acclaim. The campaign consisted of posters featuring characters from the film, comparing Toy Story 3 to previous winners such as The Lord of the Rings, Shakespeare in Love, Titanic, and more.[58] Walt Disney Studios Chairman Rich Ross explained they were going for the Best Picture win, not just Best Animated film.[59] The Hollywood Reporter gave the campaign a bronze award in Key Art Awards Winners 2011.[60]

text: Home media[edit]

text: Toy Story 3 was released by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment in North America on November 2, 2010, in a standard DVD edition, a two-disc Blu-ray Disc, and in a four-disc Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy combo pack. Features included behind-the-scenes, including a sneak peek teaser for the then-upcoming Cars 2 (the sequel to the 2006 film Cars).[61] A 10-disc Toy Story trilogy Blu-ray box set arrived on store shelves that same day.[62] A 3D version of the Blu-ray was released in North America on November 1, 2011.[63]

text: On its first week of release (November 2–7, 2010), it sold 3,859,736 units (equal to $73,096,452), ranking No.1 for the week and immediately becoming the best-selling animated film of 2010 in units sold (surpassing How to Train Your Dragon). As of July 18, 2012, it had sold 10,911,701 units ($185,924,247).[64] It became the best-selling DVD of 2010 in units sold, but it lacked in sales revenue and therefore ranked second behind Avatar on that list.[65] It also sold about 4 million Blu-ray units, ranking as the fourth best-selling film of 2010.[66]

text: In the United Kingdom, it broke the record for the largest first day ever for an animated feature in sales revenue, on both DVD and Blu-ray. Additionally, on the first day of its iTunes release, it immediately became the most downloaded Disney film ever.[67]

text: Reception[edit]

text: Box office[edit]

text: Toy Story 3 earned $415 million in North America and $652 million in other countries for a worldwide total of $1.067 billion, earning more revenue than the previous two films of the series combined.[1] It became the highest-grossing animated film, surpassing the six-year-old record held by 2004's Shrek 2 ($919 million),[68] until Walt Disney Animation Studios' computer-animated musical Frozen surpassed it in 2014, followed by Minions in 2015.[69] It is the twentieth highest-grossing film,[70] the highest-grossing film of 2010,[71] the third highest-grossing animated film (behind Frozen and Minions),[9] the highest-grossing film in the Toy Story series,[72] the highest-grossing Pixar film,[73] and the eighth highest-grossing film distributed by Disney.[74] In estimated attendance, though, it still ranks fourth on the list of modern animated films, behind Shrek 2, Finding Nemo, and The Lion King.[9] On its first weekend, Toy Story 3 topped the worldwide box office with $145.3 million ($153.7 million with weekday previews), the ninth largest opening weekend worldwide for an animated feature.[75] On August 27, 2010 — its seventy-first day of release, it surpassed the $1 billion mark, becoming the third Disney film, the second Disney-distributed film in 2010 (after Alice in Wonderland), the first animated film,[9] and the seventh film in cinematic history to do so.

text: North America[edit]

text: In North America, Toy Story 3 is the nineteenth highest-grossing film, unadjusted for inflation. Adjusted for ticket price inflation, though, it ranks ninety-sixth on the all-time chart.[76] It is also the highest-grossing film of 2010,[77] the second highest-grossing Pixar film (behind Finding Dory),[73] the second highest-grossing G-rated film (behind The Lion King),[78] the fourth highest-grossing animated film,[79] and the seventh highest-grossing film distributed by Disney.[80] Box Office Mojo estimates that the film sold over 52 million tickets in the U.S.[81] The film earned $41.1 million on its opening day (June 18, 2010) from 4,028 theaters, including $4 million at midnight shows from about 1,500 theaters, setting an opening day record for an animated film[82] (surpassed by Minions and later Finding Dory).[83][84]

text: During its opening weekend, the film topped the box office with $110.3 million, setting an opening weekend record among Pixar films[85] (surpassed by Finding Dory),[86] films released in June[87] (surpassed by Man of Steel and later Jurassic World),[88][89] and G-rated films.[90] The film also achieved the second largest opening weekend among animated films[91] and the fourth largest opening weekend among 2010 films.[92] Its average of $27,385 per venue is the second highest for a G-rated film and the third highest for an animated feature.[93] Its opening week gross (Friday through Thursday) of $167.6 million is the second largest among animated films, the second largest among 2010 films, and the twenty-third largest of all time.[94] It also achieved the largest 10-day gross among 2010 films.[95] It topped the box office for two consecutive weekends.[96]

text: Outside North America[edit]

text: Outside of North America, Toy Story 3 is the twenty-ninth highest-grossing film,[97] the sixth highest-grossing animated film, the third highest-grossing film of 2010,[98] the highest-grossing Pixar film, and the eleventh highest-grossing Disney film.[97] It topped the box office outside North America three times, in its first ($35 million),[99] second,[100] and sixth weekend (which was its largest).[101]

text: Its highest-grossing market after North America is Japan ($126.7 million),[102] where it is the second highest-grossing U.S. animated feature (behind Finding Nemo),[9] followed by the UK and Ireland, and Malta (£73.8 million – $116.6 million), where it is the sixth highest-grossing film,[103] and Mexico ($59.4 million), where it is the second highest-grossing film.[104] It set opening weekend records for animated films in Ecuador, Colombia, Mexico, China, Argentina,[105] Hong Kong,[106] Spain, and the UK.[107] It is the highest-grossing animated film of all time in the UK, Ireland and Malta,[108][109] Mexico,[104] Hong Kong,[110][111] and Egypt. It is the highest-grossing film of 2010 in Argentina,[112] Bolivia,[113] Chile,[114] Colombia,[115] Hong Kong,[116] Mexico,[117] Spain,[118] the UK, Ireland, and Malta.[119]

text: Critical response[edit]

text: On review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 99% based on 291 reviews, with an average rating of 8.9/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Deftly blending comedy, adventure, and honest emotion, Toy Story 3 is a rare second sequel that really works."[120] Toy Story 3 was the best-reviewed film of 2010 on Rotten Tomatoes.[121] Another review aggregator, Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating to reviews, gave the film a score of 92 out of 100, based on 39 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[122] TIME named Toy Story 3 the "best film of 2010,"[123] as did Quentin Tarantino.[124] In 2011, TIME named it one of "The 25 All-TIME Best Animated Films."[125] Audiences surveyed by Cinemascore gave the film a grade "A" rating.[126]

text: A. O. Scott of The New York Times stated "This film—this whole three-part, 15-year epic—about the adventures of a bunch of silly plastic junk turns out also to be a long, melancholy meditation on loss, impermanence and that noble, stubborn, foolish thing called love."[127] Owen Gleiberman from Entertainment Weekly gave the film an "A" saying "Even with the bar raised high, Toy Story 3 enchanted and moved me so deeply I was flabbergasted that a digitally animated comedy about plastic playthings could have this effect."[128] Gleiberman also wrote in the next issue that he, along with many other grown men, cried at the end of the film.[129] Michael Rechtshaffen of The Hollywood Reporter also gave the film a positive review, saying "Woody, Buzz and playmates make a thoroughly engaging, emotionally satisfying return."[130]

text: Mark Kermode of the BBC gave the film, and the series, a glowing review, calling it "the best movie trilogy of all time."[131] In USA Today, Claudia Puig gave the film a complete 4 star rating, writing "This installment, the best of the three, is everything a movie should be: hilarious, touching, exciting, and clever."[132] Lou Lumenick of the New York Post wrote "Toy Story 3 (which is pointlessly being shown in 3-D at most locations) may not be a masterpiece, but it still had me in tears at the end."[133] Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune gave the film 3 out of 4 stars, writing that "Compared with the riches of all kinds in recent Pixar masterworks such as Ratatouille, WALL-E, and Up, Toy Story 3 looks and plays like an exceptionally slick and confident product, as opposed to a magical blend of commerce and popular art."[134] Roger Moore of the Orlando Sentinel, who gave the film 3½ out of 4 stars, wrote "Dazzling, scary, and sentimental, Toy Story 3 is a dark and emotional conclusion to the film series that made Pixar famous."[135]

text: Accolades[edit]

text: On January 25, 2011, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced that Toy Story 3 was not only nominated for Best Animated Feature, but also for Best Picture. This makes Toy Story 3 not only the first animated sequel in history to be nominated for Best Picture, but also just the third animated film to ever be so nominated (following Beauty and the Beast and Up), with Toy Story 3 becoming the second Pixar film to be nominated for both awards.[136] Toy Story 3 also became the first ever Pixar film—and the first animated feature film since Shrek—to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay,[137] though six of Pixar's previous films were nominated for the Best Original Screenplay: Toy Story,[138] Finding Nemo,[138] The Incredibles,[138] Ratatouille,[138] WALL-E,[138] and Up.[139] In 2011, it was nominated for a Kids' Choice Award for Favorite Animated Movie, but lost to Despicable Me.

text: In addition to the tracks included in the soundtrack album, the film also uses several other tracks such as "Dream Weaver" by Gary Wright,[165] "Le Freak" by Chic,[166] and Randy Newman's original version of "You've Got a Friend in Me."[166] Furthermore, tracks "Cowboy!" and "Come to Papa" included material from Newman's rejected score to Air Force One.[167] The song "Losing You" from Newman's own album Harps and Angels was also used in the first trailer for the film.[168] The Judas Priest song "Electric Eye" was also used in the film in the temp score for the opening scene of Toy Story 3.[169] The aliens are playing the tune in their sports car. The song was ultimately replaced by another piece of music.[which?]

text: Sequel[edit]

text: A sequel, titled Toy Story 4, will be released on June 21, 2019.[10] The film was originally to be directed by John Lasseter and co-directed by Josh Cooley.[173][174] In July 2017, however, it was announced that Cooley would be the movie's sole director.[175] The film will focus on Bonnie's toys helping Woody to reunite with Bo Peep,[176] who was given away before the events of this film. Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Kristen Schaal and Laurie Metcalf will reprise their roles of Woody, Buzz, Trixie and Mrs. Davis. The rest of this film's cast may also return. Don Rickles also signed on to return to voice Mr. Potato Head; however, Rickles died during production. It is uncertain how his death will affect Potato Head's role in the fourth film.
