The success of the original film went on to spawn three follow-ups: Toy Story 2 in 1999, Toy Story 3 in 2010, and Toy Story 4 in 2019 with the series also producing a spinoff film starring the famed Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear in 2022's Lightyear. Each of the previous entries in these franchises saw major success both commercially and critically, with Toy Story 4 earning over $1.07 billion at the global box office and went on to be nominated for two Academy Awards in 2020 for Best Original Song “I Can’t Let You Throw Yourself Away” by Randy Newman and won the Best Animated Feature.

Regardless of the direction that they take, a return to Toy Story should be as fun and emotional as audiences have come to expect. With several years now separating the last installment, Toy Story 5 will undoubtedly be met with plenty of hype. Toy Story 4 ended on a touching note, with Woody and Bo Peep getting their happy ending, and the rest of the toys going back to live with Bonnie. The last installment in the franchise, Toy Story 4, was thought to be a near-perfect ending to the series when it came out in 2019, and the film performed spectacularly well, raking in north of $1 billion worldwide. Toy Story 5 creates an interesting set of options for Disney and Pixar. The franchise has been in a will-they-won't-they state over the last few years regarding future storytelling, but Iger's comments confirm that a return to the iconic universe is in the cards and set for the big screen.

In Wednesday's earnings call, Bob Iger announced that sequels were coming for three popular Disney Animation franchises, Zootopia, Toy Story, and Frozen.

Zootopia was released in 2016 and made over a billion dollars and won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. Lover of all things Disney; the Magic of Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and Disney Cruise Line Obviously, Toy Story has been uber-popular since the moment the first film came out in 1995.

Tim Allen will again provide the voice of Buzz after Chris Evans briefly took over the role for last year's Lightyear.

The film's shortcomings have likely killed any tentative plans there might have been to do Lightyear 2, and perhaps that's also led to Disney reversing course and heading back to the old well with the Toy Story franchise. One reason fans may have figured that Allen's time in the role of Buzz Lightyear was over was that big changes had been made with the character following Toy Story 4. Even with the film following a different version of Buzz, the disconnect was there, and that may have contributed to Lightyear bombing at the box office.

Development for Toy Story 5 was confirmed to be underway by Bob Iger during the Disney quarterly earnings call with investors. Allen has voiced the iconic Buzz ...

It's a minor risk for Disney to run it back again after it was assumed that Toy Story 4 would be the end of the road, but if any character can greatly benefit from another mainline film, it's Buzz. Toy Story 5 has the opportunity to win many viewers back, though. The ending set up a sad conclusion for Buzz, who then found himself at the end of his journey with Woody.

Toy Story’s most recent film was released in 2019. [publicly denied the claims](https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/tim-allen-pamela-anderson-exposed-flashing-b2267217.html), stating that it “never happened” and he would “never do such a thing”. On Wednesday (8 February), the studio revealed plans to make a fifth film in the Pixar franchise alongside a third Frozen film and a follow-up to Zootropolis (titled Zootopia in the US).

Disney's decision to create sequels for these established franchises, on top of other high-quality shows, is to bolster its Disney+ library. Iger continues: Are ...

Toy Story 4, in particular, would be very hard to top, but if there’s anyone who can make a great Toy Story, it would be Disney and Pixar. “It goes without saying that the best shows lead to the most lucrative library and have the power to endure because of their quality. We’ll have more to share about this production soon, but this is a great example of how we’re leaning into our unrivaled brands and franchises.”

Following Bob Iger's Toy Story 5 announcement, Disney fans are taking to social media to question the necessity of the planned Pixar sequel.

With many people already accusing the last film of being a largely unnecessary addition to the franchise, this announcement probably raises more questions than answers. Taking to social media in droves, viewers who grew up with the original films are questioning the need for another, with many accusing the studio of engaging in a blatant cash grab. Widely praised by critics and earning itself a swathe of award nominations, Toy Story would go on to gross over $374 million in worldwide box office and spawn three direct sequels, as well as last year’s spinoff film Lightyear, featuring Chris Evans as the in-universe fictional character that inspired the toy voiced by Allen.

In the company's most recent earnings call, Disney CEO Bob Iger shared, "Today I'm so pleased to announce that we have sequels in the works from our animation ...

I don't even want to think about a Toy Story 5. Toy Story 4 was my least favorite film in the franchise. Then Toy Story 4 came along, doing a fairly decent job of justifying its own existence with another ending in which Woody left the group to live with Bo Peep and a group of toys without owners.

Following the news that Toy Story 5 is in development at Pixar, Buzz Lightyear actor Tim Allen has sent out a Tweet that strongly hints both he and Tom ...

In comparison, last year's spin-off Lightyear was considered a box office disappointment, suggesting that moviegoers wish to spend time with the toys and not the people they're based on. It would be easy enough to reunite them, of course, and Allen certainly sounds confident about that possibility. Toy Story, Frozen, and Zootopia sequels have all been announced, and current Disney CEO Bob Iger described that as a means of "leaning into our unrivaled brands."

The release of a new Toy Story film carries an element of risk for both Disney and Pixar, in a creative sense as well as financially bringing in the law of diminishing returns. The films have grossed over $3 billion from a cumulative budget of $520 million. And off we go to a number 5!

If so, prepare for a long wait.

Despite the heartfelt conclusion to Toy Story 4, Woody and co are coming back. Here's why Disney and Pixar can't leave the franchise alone.

It might seem risky, but the enduring success of the main Toy Story series suggests that Pixar is more than capable of succeeding against the odds. If this is the case, and the movie is successful, Toy Story 5 could prove that Pixar movies as a whole have a future beyond being relegated straight to streaming. Likewise, the Toy Story franchise's greatest strength has long been in its ensemble. However, by pairing him with familiar characters in the original Toy Story setting, Toy Story 5 could rectify many of Lightyear's mistakes while capitalizing on its promise. Given that Buzz is arguably just as important to Toy Story as Woody, he is equally deserving of a definitive conclusion. Given this, continuing the Toy Story franchise in an official Toy Story 5 makes much more sense. Indeed, Toy Story 5 would be such a major tent pole release, given the popularity of the Toy Story brand, that a long run in cinemas seems inevitable. Considering that Toy Story 3 and Toy Story 4 were both billion-dollar movies on their own, it's reasonable for Disney to expect that revisiting the franchise will prove to be a shrewd investment. [Toy Story 5 is currently in development](https://screenrant.com/why-lightyear-toy-story-5-more-likely-pixar/) (via [Screen Rant](https://screenrant.com/toy-story-5-confirmed-development-disney/)). Although Woody got a fairytale ending with Bo, Buzz and the other characters remained in a state of limbo, destined to remain with Bonnie until she grows bored with them. While focusing on a fifth entry in the Toy Story series may feel creatively cynical, there's no doubt that it will be a financial triumph. While the original trilogy ended the Andy section of the saga in poignant fashion with the titular toys passing to new owner Bonnie, Toy Story 4 took things a step further by bringing lead character Woody's personal arc to an equally heartfelt conclusion.

Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are anticipated to return as Woody and Buzz in the fifth film of the Pixar series Toy Story, according to Disney CEO Bob Iger.

He confirmed that there would be sequels to Toy Story and other well-known series. Fans probably won't have to wait that long for the fifth movie. The We then go to number 5!
