A new video has been released by Walt Disney for Toy Story 3. It originally aired on The Disney Channel as a micro featurette TV spot, but it is now online for all to see. The video is basically just the trailer that we’ve seen already, but it has an introduction from director Lee Unkrich, who discusses the film briefly and makes a quick reference to the brand new characters that we’ll see. This is where we get to meet Mr. Pricklepants! The character pops up for a moment, says a quick line, and is then gone, but it’s still cool to see one of the new additions; and hey, news is deathly slow lately.

Mr. Pricklepants is a poofy little hedgehog who wears a pretty sweet little lederhosen get-up. He also has a prim and proper voice to accompany the look — a voice that you wouldn’t expect just looking at the new toy, that’s for true. Pricklepants gets this distinguished gentleman accent from none other than Timothy Dalton, who is best known for his stint as 007 James Bond as well as for his turn as a villain in Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, and Edgar Wright’s Hot Fuzz.

It feels like it has been a week since any news that didn’t involve Disney has come out. The Mouse House recently held their D23 Expo and a flood of announcements were made, including some new information on the highly anticipated sequels Toy Story 3 and Cars 2.

Toy Story 3 basically just made a bunch of casting announcements. /Film picked up on some Tweets from director Lee Unkrich and Disney that revealed that John Morris, the boy who voiced Andy in Toy Story and Toy Story 2, has been cast once again in the role, which now sees Andy as an 18-year-old young man. Also added to the cast is a great collection of names, some of which are Pixar veterans. Lending their voices once again will be Bonnie Hunt (A Bug’s Life/Cars/Monsters Inc., Jerry Maguire) and Jeff Garlin (Wall-E, Curb Your Enthusiasm); while new to the Pixar dance is Whoopi Goldberg (Ghost) and Timothy Dalton (Hot Fuzz), who will apparently be playing someone named Mr. Pricklepants.
