Probably a marketing move on their behalf also. People hear Toy Story, now they want to see these movies. Obviously Cars (at least in the community here) isn't too hot or attractive. Meanwhile Monsters is pretty big deal.

No! The faster they show us, the better!. I just finished watching Toy Story 3, and I was so sad for the ending. I wanted more, because I didn't feel satisfied.

Spoilers:!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When Andy started playing with them as he gave away the toys. Kind of gave me a lump in my throat. Childhood memories...

Just shows you, no matter how old you get, you're still a big kid at heart.

I think it's a great idea to do it while it's still fresh in everybody's mind. Wait too long and you risk people not caring because "eh, it's just a short, that will only tease me and leave me unsatisfied cause I'd rather have a full movie, it's been so long".

Now though, with Toy Story 3 not out long people will still feel that attachment and be curious to see more. I think they should continue doing it beyond these two shorts as well.

The only way I'd see Muppets is if someone bought my ticket.
