it’s been ten years since we last saw woody & the gang from the ‘toy story’ franchise. anyone else miss them as much as i have? fans were left hungry for more after the 2nd installation, ‘toy story 2′ back in 1999. no worries, they’ve brought us another! boasting a tagline of ‘the toys are back in town,’ the geniuses behind the ‘toy story 3′ have already released a teaser trailer. the flick won’t be out until june of 2010, but there is already plenty of scoop circulating about what to expect.

disney president john lasseter revealed some deets at the disney animation showcase last week. for starters, woody & buzz’s owner, andy, is all grown up and heading for college. this means andy’s gotta find a new home for his beloved toys. lasseter says:

“…the toys end up being sent to a daycare center, where they are horribly abused by the little kids – and after that it’s time for a break-out attempt to find a safe haven, and hopefully a new owner, in a cruel world.”

want some more spoilers? apparently an exclusive clip was shown during the showcase which featured what seemed to be the first scene of the movie. the clip shows andy packing his things for college, trying to decide which toy to bring with him. finally choosing only his pal woody, andy leaves the bag full of the other toys ready for garbage pickup. woody frantically tries to save his friends from a messy fate. i guess we’ll have to wait ’til next june for more!
