"Toy Story Of TERROR" premieres Wednesday night on ABC at 8 p.m. ET, giving viewers 22 minutes of Disney-filled awesomeness to fill the void "Toy Story 3" left in your heart.
Don't worry, the spooky-themed show brings back Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the gang for a Halloween special. Some reviewers had the chance to view the "Toy Story" short early and enjoyed the show.
Check out what the previews have to say about the Disney special. (Warning: SPOILERS AHEAD):
The New York Times enjoyed the "Toy Story" short. Check out the plot line below:
"All appears lost, as a nefarious hotelier and the lure of easy eBay money threaten to disperse the friends. It falls to Jessie the cowgirl (Joan Cusack) to try to save the day, but to do it she has to overcome personal demons. Highlights of this sweet, slightly scary tale include the funniest, most refined vomit joke you'll ever see.
"Incidentally, "Toy Story of Terror!" makes for an interesting pairing with Sunday's episode of the Travel Channel show "Toy Hunter." In that series, Jordan Hembrough, a collectibles expert, hunts for rare playthings. Sunday's installment is cheekily titled "Toy Haunters," and the sought-after memorabilia includes "Ghostbusters" paraphernalia and a Ouija board."
A snippet of IGN's review of the show
"It took two years to bring Toy Story of Terror! to television, and every second of that time is visible on screen. This is an animated short that would be equally at home in a movie theater, if not for the commercial-break cliffhangers. As with all the Toy Story films, the attention to detail in regards to the look and feel of the characters, who represent different eras and genres of toys, is masterful, and should please Toy Story fans as well as toy collectors.
"Despite its short running time, Toy Story of Terror is chock full of Easter Eggs and references to previous films. The art in the motel is from the upcoming feature The Good Dinosaur, the names of characters from previous films can be seen on packing slips and, well, on gravestones. We also get to meet an intact Combat Carl, voiced by Carl Weathers! You may recall from the first film that torturing Combat Carls was one of Sid's specialties."
