The Expendables 2 vs Toy Story: Action Heroes vs Action Figures

Pixar's Toy Story series is beloved by children of all ages and contains some of the most human and heartwarming moments in the history of CGI animation. You already knew that. But did you also realise that the trilogy of big screen outings for Buzz and Woody contains enough balls-out action set pieces to recreate the trailer for The Expendables 2, shot for armour-piercing shot? Check the two trailers out below and find out what happens when action heroes are replaced by action figures. Spoiler alert: Jean-Claude Van Damme is just a cuddly teddy bear either way.

Lasseter Sheds Light on Dia De Los Muertos

While Pixar's upcoming Dia De Los Muertos is still years out from release, we've already learned about a few key components of the film. For one, the feature will be helmed by Toy Story 3 director Lee Unkirch. It will also explore the Mexican culture's uplifting view of death. (The film's title, translated in English, means "Day of the Dead.")

Now, Disney and Pixar CCO John Lasseter has revealed a few more tidbits on the project, describing it as a "really a fantastic story of family." While no other details have been divulged, /Film speculates that the movie could center on a human protagonist who suffers from a death in the family and explores the ritualistic heritage of the Mexican holiday as a call to action -- an interesting theory, although this is purely based on an educated guess.

In the meantime, the studio still has several other projects lined up to come out before this one, including Monsters University, The Good Dinosaur and Pixar's untitled film set in the human mind.
