The Legacy of the “Toy Story” Franchise

The original Toy Story debuted in 1995 as the world’s first fully computer-animated feature film, setting new standards in animation. Disney distributed the movie and its sequel Toy Story 2 in 1999, before acquiring Pixar in 2006. The franchise made a strong comeback with Toy Story 3 in 2010 and Toy Story 4 in 2019, both earning more than $1 billion globally. Each of these sequels also won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Over nearly three decades, Toy Story has become Pixar’s most successful and longest-running series.

Toy Story 5 marks Pixar’s 31st feature film. The studio’s latest release, Elio, premiered on June 20 but earned only $152 million worldwide. In contrast, Inside Out 2, released earlier in 2024, crossed $1.5 billion globally, becoming Pixar’s highest-grossing film of the year. Before Toy Story 5, Pixar plans to release Hoppers, an original animated feature, in March 2026. Despite fluctuating box office results in recent years, Pixar’s sequels continue to perform strongly, with Toy Story remaining its most dependable and profitable franchise.
