Viral Video for Toy Story 3 Discovered Dan Koelsch, April 26, 2010April 26, 2010 It looks like the guys behind Toy Story 3 aren’t happy just riding the franchise’s existing popularity to the bank. Pixar has been doing some interesting marketing for the film, and that looks to be continuing with a viral video that shows a 1983 commercial for the “Lots-o’-Huggin’ Bear”, which is the kind of toy new character Lotso is in Toy Story 3.
