Meet LOTSO

[furrbear]

LOTS-O'-HUGGIN' BEAR from Disney-Pixar's Toy Story 3 Please say "Hey" to my furry buddy LOTSO. For those who might not know, Lotso was the first computer-animated plush toy. Back when the first two "Toy Story" movies were made, the technology was not there to handle the fur and make the character move believably like a stuffed animal. Eleven years later, Lotso is still a huge challenge for Pixar but he looks amazing in Toy Story 3. :) LOTSO will be voiced in the movie (Opening June 18th) by a drawling Ned Beatty.

OMG Disney-Pixar have a definite winner with this guy. Expect to see big plush LOTSOs everywhere, especially at Christmas.

Probably be real popular with the kids too :-)

Considering Pixar is just across the Bay Bridge from San Francisco and we know any number of out gay bears who work there, there's nothing accidental about it. ;)

Will he "squeal like a pig"?

I'd see the movie first before drawing any conclusions about impending popularity.

Ooh, I haven't seen any figures of him yet, but I've only been looking at Target.

Loved the first Toy Story, liked the second one a lot... this one sounds like it ought to be fun.

Ned Beatty may be doing the voice over, but this bear definitely looks like Ed Asner.

Naw. I've seen pix of Ed. His body hair isn't purple.

[bearbarry.livejournal.com]

It's the bushy eyebrows and the white chest hair. Similar jaw line too.

Ed Asner or Bob Hoskins.

Isn't he supposed to be strawberry scented as well?

Not sure that's gonna be a big plus for the retail version...

I just saw a commercial for Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear on Comedy Central (watching Aziz Ansari). When I saw it, I didn't know what it was for. It was done as a bad video copy of an old 1980's commercial... and no explanation.

I saw your post a few minutes later.

He is so cute, and that movie is going to be so good. Cannot wait!
