<blockquote>
The ''Toy Story'' films and characters will always hold a very special place in our hearts and we're so excited to be bringing this landmark film back for audiences to enjoy in a whole new way thanks to the latest in 3-D technology. With ''Toy Story 3'' shaping up to be another great adventure for Buzz, Woody, and the gang from Andy's room, we thought it would be great to let audiences experience the first two films all over again and in a brand new way.<ref name="VFXWorldLass3-D">{{cite news |url=http://vfxworld.com/?atype=news&a=search&term=Toy%20Story&id=22054 |title=Toy Story Franchise Going 3-D |publisher=VFXWorld.com |date=January 24, 2008 |access-date=March 12, 2009}}</ref>

Translating the film into 3-D involved revisiting the original computer data and virtually placing a second camera into each scene, creating left eye and right eye views needed to achieve the perception of depth.<ref name="Dimension">{{cite news |first=Mekado |last=Murphy |title=Buzz and Woody Add a Dimension |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/04/movies/04murp.html |date=October 1, 2009 |work=The New York Times |access-date=February 18, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140129012757/http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/04/movies/04murp.html|archive-date=January 29, 2014|url-status=live}}</ref> Unique to computer animation, Lasseter referred to this process as "digital archaeology".<ref name="Dimension" /> The process took four months, as well as an additional six months for the two films to add the 3-D. The lead stereographer Bob Whitehill oversaw this process and sought to achieve an effect that affected the emotional storytelling of the film:

<blockquote>
When I would look at the films as a whole, I would search for story reasons to use 3-D in different ways. In ''Toy Story'', for instance, when the toys were alone in their world, I wanted it to feel consistent with a safer world. And when they went out to the human world, that's when I really blew out the 3-D to make it feel dangerous and deep and overwhelming.<ref name=" Dimension" />

Unlike other countries, the United Kingdom received the films in 3-D as separate releases. ''Toy Story'' was released on October 2, 2009. ''[[Toy Story 2]]'' was instead released January 22, 2010.<ref name="Toy Story 3D Review">{{cite web |url=http://entertainment.uk.msn.com/movies/reviews/article.aspx?cp-documentid=149974281 |title=Toy Story in 3D: MSN Review |access-date=October 3, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091002133147/http://entertainment.uk.msn.com/movies/reviews/article.aspx?cp-documentid=149974281 <!--Added by H3llBot--> |archive-date=October 2, 2009}}</ref> The re-release performed well at the box office, opening with $12,500,000 in its opening weekend, placing at the third position after ''[[Zombieland]]'' and ''[[Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (film)|Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bizjournals.com/losangeles/stories/2009/10/05/daily1.html|title='Zombieland' takes top spot at box office}}</ref><ref name="ReBOXMOJO">{{cite web |url=https://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=toystory3d.htm |title=Toy Story/Toy Story 2 (3D) |work=[[Box Office Mojo]] |access-date=February 18, 2010|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120731112642/http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=toystory3d.htm|archive-date=July 31, 2012|url-status=live}}</ref> The double feature grossed $30.7&nbsp;million in its five-week release.<ref name="ReBOXMOJO" />
