Thanks to ComingSoon.net for sharing this ‘Business of Animation’ blog entry and some big-time cartoon news. Seems the Mouse House has tagged director Bradley Raymond ("The Lion King 1 1/2," "The Hunchback of Notre Dame 2") to helm the Pixar-free "Toy Story 3." First-time screenwriter Jared Stern is also on board, working on a premise that apparently takes the toys out on the road. And no, "Toy Story 3" is not pegged for a direct-to-video release, so let’s all keep our fingers crossed on this project.
