Welcome
This web site is for the exclusive use of projectionists and technicians exhibiting TOY STORY 3, a Disney•Pixar presentation. We recognize, support, and reward the contribution of those in the projection profession. Presentation is everything, and that makes your job critical. We've spent years crafting the picture and sound for this movie. Now it's in your hands. We rely on you to give your guests “Perfect Projection”. This site will provide you with the information you need to make TOY STORY 3 the best presented film of 2010.
A Message from the Director
TOY STORY 3 is our eleventh Pixar title, and with it we return to where we began. Toy Story was Pixar's first feature film, and a worldwide smash hit. Lovable characters like Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Mr. Potato Head, Slinky Dog, and Bo Peep helped make Toy Story an instant classic.
But a lot has changed since that first release in only 35mm. We will present TOY STORY 3 in several formats: 35mm, digital 2D, digital 3D and IMAX 3D in both film and digital. For our digital 3D release, we have for the first time created an additional sound mix in 7.1 DS (digital surround).
One major key to Pixar's success is quality. We expect the best work from everyone on our team, and we consider you, the projectionist, to be part of that team. You are arguably the most important part of the our process. Without your commitment to excellent presentation in your theater, it doesn't matter how many hours of production and quality control precede you in the making of the movie.
Since The Incredibles, we've offered these trading cards as a way to thank you for your contribution to our movies. Please enjoy them. And don't forget the chance to win a trip for two to Pixar!

About Toy Story 3
Woody, Buzz, and the rest of their toy-box friends are dumped in a day-care center after their owner, Andy, departs for college. Although at first excited by their new surroundings, and the seemingly friendly toys who also live at the centre, it isn't long before they become determined to return home — a resolution shared by Andy, who begins to realize that his toys always have a place in his heart.

Perfect Projection
Most movies take years to make: hundreds of people working countless hours to deliver an experience that audiences will not forget. In the end, all of that effort pours through the lens in the projection booth, and is shown to audiences on a giant movie screen. No amount of attention during production is more important than that of the projectionist, who, with care and precision, shows the movie to the theater’s waiting guests. Bad projection can spoil the years of work that were put into the making of the movie. Perfect Projection literally makes it shine, and causes audiences to come back for more.
We at Pixar recognize the essential part that technicians and projectionists play in presenting our movies to the public, and want to provide help to make it perfect.
