The Gold Box deal of the day over at Amazon today is Toy Story Trilogy Blu-ray Edition for $44.99 (that’s 55% off the list price of $100).

Note, this sale is only for today, Saturday, June 18, 2011, until midnight PST while supplies last.

This 10-disc Blu-ray set contains all three Disney/Pixar animated Toy Story films — Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3 — in collectible packaging. The sert also includes the movies on DVD, as well as digital copies for each, along with tons of bonus features.

Deadline is reporting that The Walt Disney Company isn’t done with Tom Hanks and Tim Allen quite yet. The company is reportedly seeking to re-team the two actors, who voiced Woody and Buzz Lightyear in all three Toy Story movies, in a live-action project called Jungle Cruise.

The movie will be based on the theme park ride of the same name found at Disney’s Magic Kingdom. The ride sees park-goers jumping on a riverboat and navigating many rivers as animatronic animals pass by. The script is being written by Roger S.H. Schulman, who was a writer on Shrek and has penned many of Disney’s sequels like Mulan II, The Jungle Book 2, and Bambi II.

The United States Postal Service (USPS) has announced the items to be included in their 2011 commemorative stamp program, which includes five new Pixar stamps.

Several Disney-Pixar movie characters are part of the five different designs that make up the 20-stamp pane Send A Hello collection: Lightning McQueen and Mater from Cars; Remy the rat and Linguini from Ratatouille; Buzz Lightyear and two of the green, three-eyed aliens from Toy Story; Carl Fredricksen and Dug from Up; and the robot WALL*E from Wall*E.

The Send a Hello “Forever” stamp will go on sale on August 19, 2011.

This week on the Flix of Doom podcast, we discussed the Toy Story franchise, as this month marks the 15th anniversary of the release of the first film. In preparation, I re-watched Toy Story 3, which just came out on Blu-ray.

While researching for the episode, I came across this adorable image called Kawaii Toy Story 3 – Bonnie & Friends by illustrator Jerrod Maruyama, who created this piece for the Pixar Times site.
