Now for those of you who are sweating the whole “Did Buzzy & Jessie actually get crushed in the back of that garbage truck” story beat … Know this: Though Lasseter & Unkrich never actually said anything about what happens next, the official “Toy Story 3” trailer (which – as I understand it – will be screened in front of that Disney Digital 3D version of “Toy Story” & “Toy Story 2” that will begin screening around the country on October 2) actually showed Woody and the gang at Sunnyside Daycare. Where life among the toddlers looks like something out of “Lord of the Flies.”

In the short scenes that we get to see in the trailer, Buzz and Co. get absolutely brutalized by these 3-year-olds. Which is why they decide that “We’re busting out of here.” The only problem is – during their initial escape attempt – the Space Ranger gets severely damaged. To the point that Woody & friends are forced to hit Lightyear’s reset button. Which then puts Buzz into Spanish-speaking mode.

And let me tell you, folks, that – when Buzz is in Spanish-speaking mode – he then becomes this hot-blooded, flamenco-dancing romantic figure prone to grand gestures. Which Jessie (according to a piece of test animation that was screened at the D23 EXPO) winds up being quite taken with.
