Kids And Families Can See The Toy Story 3 Toys Come To Life At Whitcoulls Queen Street
To celebrate the launch of Disney's Toy Story 3 on DVD and Blu-Ray, Whitcoulls Corner at 210 Queen Street is this week
featuring a unique window installation, where the much-loved Toy Story characters are coming to life!
Toy Story 3 was the biggest animated movie ever in the US Box Office, where famous Woody, Buzz Lightyear & friends captured the hearts and imaginations of families around the world, and introduced us to a few new faces at
Sunnyside Daycare, including Ken and Barbie who make an impressionable appearance.
Kicking off today, the store has interactive window displays at Whitcoulls Corner on Queen Street, where characters are
interacting with passersby and providing a welcome change of atmosphere to Auckland’s busy Queen Street.
Each window along the Queen Street side of the store is representing a key scene from the Toy Story 3 movie – including
the much-loved Buzz Lightyear, who appears in store larger than life in a statue, perfect for pictures with kids and
families. Don’t miss Woody, Jessie the Cowgirl, and Barbie, all in real life and making the windows a real life
experience for customers.
Visit the store from today until Sunday the 21st November and be a part of the fun!
