Yes, I mean Dalton as in Timothy Dalton, the fifth best James Bond, by most people's estimations. Disney's John Lassater announced his role in TOY STORY 3 at the Disney Animation Showcase in London, and said Dalton will voice Mr. Pricklepants, a thespian hedgehog toy, though no word on how he fits into the story.

And speaking of story, plot details were revealed at the conference that I certainly hadn’t heard thus far. Supposedly the catalyst to set things in motion is that the toys are thrown away by Andy’s mom after he heads off to college, and eventually they end up at a day care center where they’re abused by toddlers. They must band together (with some new toys, thespian hedgehogs presumably included) to figure out a way escape, and hopefully find a new (or old) owner.

These details emerged because of an unreleased trailer, which implies that we should soon be able to see it for ourselves, if Pixar starts feeling generous. As for the actual movie? I predict with the added revenue from 3D showings, this is going to break some serious records.

Extra Tidbit: Wow, I just realized I was EIGHT when the first TOY STORY came out.

Andy's mom is awful
What's with this lady always trying to throw away or sell Andy's toys when he's not around. Remember the sneak yard sell in TS2. This is the type of lady that would sell your Star Wars collectables cause you don't play with them anymore.

Dalton is the shit...
He was my favorite Bond until Craig.
And yes, I think some of us knew those plot details before, because I know I did...

I agree. Dalton was a great bond and this is a great add to the cast. Not the mention the story sounds great. I was wondering how they would follow the story Andys toys...

Regardless of whether people liked him or not, Dalton was the closest to Fleming's Bond. That's something he should be proud of.

Fifth best Bond?
In my opinion:

1. Sean Connery
2. Daniel Craig
3. George Lazenby
4. Pierce Brosnan
5. Timothy Dalton
6. Roger Moore

So yeah, I guess fifth is about right. Although, Brosnan and Dalton are actually more or less tied for fourth in my book.

so if that ends up being the story, it is roughly a remake of Brave Little Toaster...but without the surly Vacuum.

Love Toy Story and can't wait to see 3, but I was also thinking they sounded a little similar.

Strange, I heard almost that SAME EXACT plot description a WHILE back. Like at least 4 or 5 months. I know it was before "Up" came out. I'm going to try and find a source now.

As a bit of Bond fan, I reckon Dalton is one of the best 007's. Plus he was good in Hot Fuzz. Also, Pixar can do no wrong, so this should work out fine.

That is cool... BBC is also reporting a "James bond" type character as an Aston Martin for the next Cars film [link]
