In advance of the upcoming 'Toy Story 3' DVD/Blu-ray release, Disney/Pixar have provided Cinematical with a whole bunch of exclusive concept images/artwork from the film's pre-production stages, giving us a small peek inside the world of 'Toy Story' long before it takes the shape of what you eventually see on the big screen.
The images, all of which you can view by clicking on the gallery below, range from rough sketches (see the above image featuring an early look at Andy's age progression over the years) to preliminary artwork and character drawings (the latter of which are fun to look at because they also contain a bunch of notes on character traits, etc...).
It's a film that many say has a good chance at becoming the first animated movie to ever win best picture, and so, naturally, one of the best films of the year will be arriving in stores with a bunch of different options for the consumer. Not only will you be able to buy the regular DVD or Blu-ray, but there's also a Blu-ray combo pack featuring the Blu-ray, DVD and digital download, as well as a special Ultimate Toy Box 3-Movie Collection featuring all three 'Toy Story' movies on Blu-ray, DVD and as digital copies. The various different 'Toy Story 3' DVD/Blu-rays will hit shelves on November 2nd. Check out our exclusive images below, as well as all of the special features you'll find on the DVD/Blu-ray after the jump.
