Just when you thought Toy Story was done and dusted, in comes another sequel that is sure to rake in the box office dollars.
The news, which originated from the Walt Disney investor meeting yesterday, gets real, when Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed that Disney are working on Toy Story 4 and, yep, you guessed it, Toy Story 5.
It is hard to believe that the series has been going on since the beginning of time and has won over our hearts with Woody, Buzz, Bo Peep and many more. The Toy Story series has swept a number of awards including Oscars, and is widely regarded as one of the most successful film franchises to seed and till date claims over $2 billion in box office receipts.
The feeling overall though certainly strays more towards the negative, with fans left stumped as to why Disney want to make Toy Story 5. Aside from the obvious financial benefits, of course…
Disney CEO Bob Iger made the announcement yesterday during the Q1 earnings call saying, “Today I’m so pleased to announce that we have sequels in the works from our animation studios to some of our most popular franchises, Toy Story , Frozen and Zootopia. We’ll have more to share about these productions soon, but this is a great example of how we’re leaning into our unrivaled brands and franchises.”
Toy Story staple Tim Allen, who was recast with Marvel actor Chris Evans for the solo spinoff Lightyear last year, has since revealed that he will be back for Toy Story 5. “See ya soon Woody, you are a sad strange little man and you have my pity,” the actor, who has played Buzz Lightyear since the first Toy Story way, way back in 1995, said via social media. “And off we go to a number 5! To infinity and beyond!”
Plot details surrounding Toy Story 5 remain a mystery at this point, though we can no doubt safely assume that the plot will find a way to bring Woody and Buzz back together following the ending of Toy Story 4. Whatever your feelings on the fourth outing, the questions remains, do we really need a Toy Story 5?
