Introduction
It’s been nearly a decade since Toy Story 4 was released, and fans are wondering if there will be another movie in the franchise. While nothing has been officially announced, there have been some hints that Toy Story 5 might be in the works.
In an interview with Collider in 2019, Josh Cooley, who directed Toy Story 4, said that he would “love” to make another Toy Story movie. “I would do it in a second,” he said. “I think the world is ready for another Toy Story.”
Pixar president Jim Morris has also said that another Toy Story movie is a possibility. “We’re open to anything,” he said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. “I don’t think [Toy Story 4] is the end of the franchise.”
So while nothing has been confirmed, it seems like there’s a good chance we’ll see another Toy Story movie at some point in the future.
The Rumors
It seems like every time a new Pixar movie comes out, the question on everyone’s mind is: when will the next one come out? And with each new release, the wait for the next movie only gets longer. So, when will Toy Story 5 finally come out?
The answer, unfortunately, is that we don’t know. Pixar has been notoriously tight-lipped about any upcoming projects, so there’s no word on whether or not a Toy Story 5 is even in development. That being said, there have been some indications that the studio might be working on something behind the scenes.
In 2015, John Lasseter, the director of the first two Toy Story movies and the chief creative officer at Pixar, said that they had been discussing the possibility of a fifth film. “We love these characters so much; they are like family to us,” he said. “We don’t want to do anything with them unless it lives up to or surpasses what’s gone before. And that’s a pretty high bar.”
Since then, there have been no official announcements about Toy Story 5—but that doesn’t mean people aren’t still talking about it. In 2017, Tim Allen, who voices Buzz Lightyear in the films, said that he thought a fifth movie was “in toy development.” Allen added that he would be “open” to returning to the role if Pixar decided to make another Toy Story film.
So it seems like there is still hope that we might see another installment in the beloved franchise—we just have to wait and see what Pixar decides to do.
The Possibilities
It’s been almost 10 years since Toy Story 3 was released, and fans are wondering if there will be another movie. While Pixar has not officially announced anything, there have been some hints that Toy Story 5 could be in the works.
In an interview with The Telegraph, Tim Allen (the voice of Buzz Lightyear) said that he thinks there will be another Toy Story movie. “I think they’re working on it now,” he said. “I don’t know if it’s going to be–they’re writing scripts now–I don’t know if it’s going to be on the big screen or what.”
Pixar head John Lasseter also hinted at another Toy Story movie during an interview with Yahoo Movies. When asked if there would be another sequel, he said, “We love making these movies, we love the world of Toy Story, and we love the characters.” He went on to say that they always wait a few years in between sequels so they can come up with new ideas, so it’s possible that they are already working on Toy Story 5.
Of course, nothing is official until Pixar announces it, but it seems like there is a good possibility that we will see another Toy Story movie in the future.
The Likelihood
It’s hard to say for certain whether or not there will be a Toy Story 5. While the franchise has been immensely popular and successful, both critically and commercially, the last installment came out nearly a decade ago in 2010. And with Woody and Buzz Lightyear now in the hands of new owners Bonnie Anderson and Andy Davis respectively, it’s unclear if there is still narrative fuel to explore in the Toy Story universe.
That said, it’s worth noting that Disney-Pixar has been keen on continuationg successful properties as of late. Just last year, the studio released Toy Story 4, which grossed over $1 billion globally and received glowing reviews from critics. So it’s certainly possible that if there is enough demand for another Toy Story movie, Disney-Pixar will oblige.
The Potential
Despite the fact that “Toy Story 3” was released nearly a decade ago, fans are still clamoring for a fourth movie in the franchise. While nothing has been confirmed by Disney or Pixar, there have been a few hints that something might be in the works.
In November of 2018, Tim Allen, who voices Buzz Lightyear, said that he had heard “whispers” of another “Toy Story” movie. And just last month, Don Rickles, who voiced Mr. Potato Head before his death in 2017, was listed as a cast member on IMDb for an upcoming “Toy Story” project.
Of course, both of these could simply be cases of fan speculation or mistaken information. But it’s also possible that Disney and Pixar are indeed working on another “Toy Story” movie and that it’s being kept under wraps for now. For fans’ sake, let’s hope it’s the latter!
The Probability
At the time of this writing, it is unclear if there will be a Toy Story 5. The franchise has been incredibly popular and lucrative, so it would make sense for Disney to produce another installment. However, the studio has not yet announced any plans to do so.
Some fans have speculated that the ending of Toy Story 4 may have been intended to serve as a conclusion to the series, and that a fifth movie may not be necessary. However, it is also possible that Disney could decide to produce another Toy Story film in the future if there is sufficient demand from fans.
Only time will tell if there will be a Toy Story 5. For now, fans can enjoy the previous four installments of the franchise and hope that Disney decides to produce another one.
The Reality
The reality is that Disney has not made any announcements about Toy Story 5. However, they have not ruled it out completely. In the past, they have said that they would only make a sequel if they had a story that was worthy of the franchise. Toy Story 4 ended on a very good note and some fans are speculating that this means there will not be another movie. However, we will just have to wait and see what Disney decides to do.
The Conclusion
It seems that the chances of a Toy Story 5 are pretty slim. While the first four movies in the franchise were all incredibly successful, it seems that the team behind the scenes is ready to move on to other projects. That being said, never say never – if there is enough public demand, it’s possible that we could see another Toy Story movie in the future.
The Aftermath
Pixar has not released an official statement about the future of the Toy Story franchise, but there has been speculation that they are working on a fifth movie. This speculation was sparked by an interview with the CEO of Disney, Bob Iger, who said that Pixar is working on new installments of some of their most popular franchises.
While there is no confirmation that Toy Story 5 is in development, it seems likely that Pixar is at least considering it. The Toy Story franchise is one of the most successful and beloved franchises in all of animation, and it would make sense for Pixar to want to continue telling stories set in this world.
Only time will tell if we will see another Toy Story movie, but for now, fans can enjoy the four existing films and the many spin-offs and TV specials that have been released over the years.
The Future
There is no official word from Pixar as of yet whether or not Toy Story 5 is in the works. However, considering the massive success of Toy Story 4, which grossed over $1 billion at the worldwide box office, it seems likely that a fifth film could be in the cards.
Pixar usually takes several years to develop and produce a new feature-length film, so if Toy Story 5 is indeed in the works, it likely won’t hit theaters until 2025 or later. In the meantime, fans can enjoy Toy Story 4 on Blu-ray, DVD, and digital platforms.
