1st look at the Toy Story short film, Small Fry

Oh thank goodness, some news related to The Muppets that isn't another godforsaken trailer. This actually has to do with what's going to happen before the film even starts. Like immediately before, as Pixar has lined up yet another of their great short films to precede Kermit and the gang. With Cars 2 we saw the Toy Story crew come back for the short, Hawaiian Vacation, and now they're at it again with Small Fry.

Angus MacLane directs the film, about a itty bitty Happy Meal toy who kidnaps Buzz Lightyear(Tim Allen) and attempts to take his place so he can get played with like a regular toy. All the usual gang is back for this seven minute affair, including Tom Hanks, John Ratzenberger, and Joan Cusack. Jane Lynch(Glee) makes what I think is her Pixar voice acting debut.

USA Today has a few first look shots at Small Fry, which you can see below, and then see the full movie when it premieres on November 23rd....
