Of all of the new characters in Toy Story 3, a fashion loving Ken doll seems to have made the biggest impact, becoming an instant hit with both critics and audiences. USA Today has two articles on how the character was brought to the screen, the first being an interview with Michael Keaton about how he went about voicing Barbie’s love interest. The second article covers things such as Mattel’s feelings about the character’s role in the movie’s story, and why director Lee Unkrich decided that an actual Ken doll from the 80s should be used as the film’s star.
