MANILA, Philippines – On May 15, Pixar announced on its Twitter account (@DisneyPixar) a new animated short film titled “Toy Story of Terror” set for small screen release on Halloween season.
The film will be the second “Toy Story” short after “Partysaurus Rex,” which debuted alongside “Finding Nemo 3D” in theaters.
After focusing on toy dinosaur Rex in the first short film, “Toy Story of Terror” is reportedly zooming in on cowgirl Jessie, as the gang goes on a road trip that takes a turn for the worse.
TV Guide reports an initial plot where Bonnie takes her toys on a visit to grandma’s house, but a flat tire forces them to make a stop at a motel. Afterwards, toys mysteriously disappear while others are left to confront the horror.
The small screen special directed by Angus MacLane will feature references from horror classics “Psycho,” “Aliens,”and “Predator. It is expected to run for 30 minutes.
“There was some support to make a scary, but not necessarily Halloween-themed half-hour ‘Toy Story’ special for television,” director Angus MacLane tells TV Guide.
“There was some concern early on about not making it too scary for kids. I think we’ve done a good job of balancing staying true to ‘Toy Story’ and staying true to the genre.
“As far as adults are concerned, I’ve always thought that we make these movies for ourselves. I think it’s funny and like the other ‘Toy Story’ films, I think there is plenty of stuff in there that only adults will get,” he added.
Original toys are expected to return along with new characters seen in “Partysaurus Rex” such as Mr. Pricklepants, Trixie, and Combat Carl.
