'Toy Story' Short Featuring Barbie and Ken is Attached to 'Cars 2'?« FirstShowing.net

Shortly after the charming yet tear-jerkingToy Story 3hit theaters, director Lee Unkrich revealed that the farewell to Andy's toys didn't mean the characters wouldn't be returning. WhileToy Story 4seemed to be unlikely, the director said the traditionalPixar shortplaying beforeCars 2would featuresome of theToy Storycharacters. Well, nowDigital Spyhas noticed a recentTwitter updatefrom Disney animator Floyd Norman saying,“Saw the Pixar 'Hawaii' short. Cute.Ken and Barbiewant to go toHawaii. I don’t know what it’s gonna be attached to. Fun stuff, however.” So it sounds like there will be a Hawaiian adventure beforeCars 2!

This isn't exactly official yet, but putting two and two together, this definitely seems like a safe bet. So whenCars 2hits theaters onJune 24th, 2011, it looks like we'll have the return of a couple franchise in the same sitting. Personally, the original shorts that don't feature Pixar's staple characters are the ones I prefer, but by no means should my stance imply that I don't enjoy seeing my favorite characters returning in their shorts. After all, Ken and Barbie had quite the hilarious relationship (even if Ken did betray her at first), so this should be a blast.Sound good?
