The Sound of Toy Story 3

TS3_char.reveal_online_teaser_v6.11
Toy Story 3 has just opened and this is the first installation in the series in which Gary Rydstrom wasn’t involved. This time sound designing duties have been taken by the always magnificent Tom Myers (who also has a long relationship with Pixar, having done a few of the post-Rydstrom Pixar shorts), he was an assistant sound designer on Toy Story and sound designer on Toy Story 2. Joining Tom on supervision and re-recording mixing is Michael Semanick (wonderful mixer), with whom they also did Wall-E and Up.



Update 7/9/2010:
A neat interview to the sound team, conducted by the guys at Designing Sound. Read it here.

What do you think of it being mixed in 7.1?
