Pixar have stated that Toy Story 3 will be a mature affair.

Animator Angus MacLane has said: "Certainly we're approaching this film 10 years later, so I think we're sort of coming at it from the standpoint of [Andy] has grown up, and we've grown up with these toys, and we have a reverence for them, but we also have different things as a priority."

We thought we’d look at some of the ways past films have dealt with mature stars, and whether they could apply to Toy Story... 

The Odd Toy Couple

Hollywood loves to stick a couple of cranky old men together and watch them grumble about their surroundings.

There’s something about old curmudgeons complaining that appeals to studio executives. We have no idea why. Maybe it reminds them of studio notes.

The Plot: Pixar could put Buzz and Woody on the porch of a Dolls House and let them moan about the young Furby couple that’s moved in around the corner.

They could follow the pair as they go through their usual daily routine over and over again, grumbling every step of the way.

But when a care-worker named Barbie comes to try and convince them to go into a home, they both fall in love with her and the trouble really starts...

Likelihood Score: 8

Next: Toy Story 3: Cocoon
