6. "Toy Story 3" is about Andy going off to college (and thus, the
future of his toys), so to promote the film, Disney and Pixar
are taking "Toy Story 3" to college!
In April, Disney will be visiting college campuses across the
country and showing off the first 65 minutes of the film.
Known as the "Special Cliffhanger Edition," the idea is to get
college kids reunited with the franchise and excited to see
how the film turns out when it hits theaters on June 18th,
2010.
You can sign up for an event at your campus by visiting
the Disney/Pixar Facebook Page. Tickets and seats are still first
come, first serve, so just because you RSVP doesn't mean
you're guaranteed a spot -- get to your school's theater early!
