Reigning Animated Trilogies

'Toy Story 3' Debuts at $109 Million at the Box Office

With the ‘Toy Story’ trilogy at its final chapter, this animated series goes out with a bang as ‘Toy Story 3’ debuts at $109 Million at the box office opening weekend. Once again featuring the beloved toys, Woody and Buzz Lightyear (voices of Tom Hanks and Tim Allen), the bunch meets a handful of other characters in this final movie and creates more trouble and fun for the anticipating audience.

Being one of the few animated series to have made a successful trilogy, the 'Toy Story' series will hopefully inspire more animated flicks to come about just as successful as its predecessors.
