Pixar and Disney animation honcho John Lasseter was in New Orleans to announce their new Big Easy traditional ‘toon THE FROG PRINCESS (due in 2009) and mentioned that things were finally in motion on the third CG action figure escapade. Tom Hanks and Tim Allen (whose career is apparently unkillable) are expected to lend their voices once more, as well as John Ratzenberger, we can safely assume. But no word yet on other characters — will that cowgirl whose song made me cry in the second one return as well?
The script comes from LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE scribe Michael Arndt (and will likely also get piecemealed together by other Pixar staff along the way), but story details are still undisclosed.
