To raise awareness of what was then the forthcoming theatrical release of Toy Story 3, Disney-Pixar went back to the original renderman source files to not only re-render the film for higher resolutions, but to create a stereoscopic 3D version of the film (and its sequel) for a theatrical re-release in January 2010. Disney have been one of the biggest proponents of 3D Blu-ray releases; this year alone they've released Tangled, Tron: Legacy, The Lion King, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Beauty and the Beast on the format, and now they are releasing another three - collectively known as the Toy Story Trilogy.

The premise of Toy Story is that in the presence of humans, toys are the inanimate objects that we know of, but once left alone they spring to life in a world of their own. When Andy, the child protagonist, receives a coveted Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) space hero figurine for his birthday, he is quickly favoured over the other toys, led by wild west character Woody (Tom Hanks). But when the toys are separated from their home, the two toys are forced to band together to make it back safe.
