LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- Walt Disney Studios is actively proceeding with a second sequel to Pixar Animation's "Toy Story" franchise, a move that could make it more difficult for the two companies to extend their rocky relationship.

Disney is in the process of setting up a digital animation facility in Glendale -- not far from the digs of its bitter rival DreamWorks Animation -- that will be used for the production of "Toy Story 3."

7. Imagine the boardroom at Disney...

"OK, Eisner really screwed us over when he wouldn't let Fahrenheit 9/11 get distributed, so we lost it to Fellowship and IFC, and they all made a killing off of it. What can we turn out in record time that will allow us to recoup our losses?"

"What about another Toy Story?"

"Nah, that's Pixar - they're going their own way now. Damn."

"But don't we have control over the franchise?"

"Saaayyyy - you're right! Shake and bake, baby!"

10. Well, there's a one-way ticket to failure.

I guess this'll be a straight-to-video release then? Pixar was the heart and soul of Toy Story.
