Forthcoming Pixar features The Good Dinosaur and Finding Nemo 2 may have been delayed for eighteen months, but the studio's first TV special, Toy Story Of Terror!, is arriving promptly this October on ABC in the US and on Sky Movies here in the UK.
The half-hour special takes on the horror genre as the Toy Story gang discovers one of their number is missing, kick-starting a spooky adventure involving a road trip, a haunted motel and - if we know the Pixar team - plenty of classic movie references. Given the creepy motel premise, we bet a shiny pound coin that there's at least one nod to The Shining. Let's be bold, a shiny two pound coin.
The original voice cast, from Tom Hanks to Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Don Rickles, Carl Weathers, Wallace Shawn and Toy Story 3's Timothy Dalton and Kirsten Schaal are all back to play fan-favorite characters.
