Pixar/Disney's Toy Story turns 10 this fall, with a two-disc 10th Anniversary Edition DVD set to arrive in stores September 6.

A bonus featurette, "The Legacy of Toy Story," includes interviews with celebrated filmmakers on the importance of the film, credited with launching the trend away from traditional hand-drawn animation.

Both the movie's picture and sound quality have been bumped up, says USA Today. Advanced video technology provides a higher digital "bit rate," and the sound has been enhanced by Lucasfilm's Gary Rydstrom, winner of seven Academy Awards and a member of the Toy Story production team.

Other special features on the $30 DVD include a new "making of" documentary, 10 deleted scenes, early animation tests and a new music video of Lyle Lovett and Randy Newman singing "You've Got a Friend in Me".

Well, shoot. I'm glad I haven't purchased Toy Story on DVD upto this point! Thanks for the info!

Cool! Sounds great. I'm relieved though, when I saw the title, I thought the third Toy Story film without Pixar was official. :lol:

Just when you thought the Ultimate Toy Box, 3 disc DVD set was the last word, this comes out!!

Pirates of the Caribbean now has a 3 disc set here too, the 2 disc has not been out that long either....

Well the Ultimate Toy Box has been off the market for a couple years now and I never managed to get it. And since, unlike every other dvd in the world that comes out and then a better version comes out, this one's been gone completely. So another edition being released is great for me! It's when the special editions come out a month after the first and they're sitting side-by-side making you all bitter on the shelf that's bad.
