You’re never too old to enjoy a good Disney-Pixar movie and Toy Story 3 seems to be one of those rare second sequels that seems to please everyone! Reports are that it is doing great at the box office. Plus, who doesn’t like to start munching on the popcorn early to enjoy the pre-show short film – this time, “Night & Day”, a flick about what happens when these personified opposites meet. Because of the huge popularity of the first two Toy Story movies and related merchandise, it’s a no-brainer to guess that all our favorite characters (and new ones, too) are going to be must-have choices in Halloween costumes this year.
A Buzz Lightyear costume makes an out-of-this world choice for boys of all ages. Poor Buzz, in this installment of the story, he gets re-programmed by the “bad guy” toys and loses all his knowledge that he really is just a toy. You can try to fly to infinity and beyond in a Buzz costume that features a white jumpsuit with boot covers, a space helmet-style hood and foam wings attached to the back.
Woody is the other character that is a rootin’ tootin’ choice in Halloween costumes. What little boy wouldn’t love to dress up as this western hero, in his old-school style cowboy costume that features a blue jean and checked shirt jumpsuit along with a vest and cowboy hat? Girls can dress up as Woody’s counterpart, the sassy cowgirl Jesse in her cute cowpoke costume and braided hair.
Both of these Toy Story costumes are easily found at any costume shop, but if you really want to stand out of the toy box, you could dress up as one of the second-tier toy story characters. Bo Peep wears a sweet long white and pink gown and carries a shepherd’s hook – or there are many ultra sexy womens costumes for grown-up ladies who aren’t afraid to stand out from the flock. They’ll never guess you’re not as cuddly as you look if you suit up in as antagonist, Lots-O-Hugs, the plush, pink with a purple nose and a sweet strawberry scent.
