Toy Story Movies: Every Film, Watch Order and What Comes Next

The Toy Story movies follow a group of toys that come to life whenever people leave the room, first the toys of a boy named Andy and later those of a girl named Bonnie. The series runs to five main films and one spin-off, and it has lasted three decades because each film moves the same toys into a new stage of a child's life. In that sense it works a little like a long running family sitcom, where the audience grows up alongside the cast.

Toy Story (1995), directed by John Lasseter, opened in US theaters on November 22, 1995. Disney's D23 archive describes it as the first all computer animated feature film, and Lasseter received a special Academy Award for it. The setup is a jealousy story. Woody, a cowboy doll voiced by Tom Hanks and Andy's favorite toy, watches Andy fall for the new arrival, Buzz Lightyear (voiced by Tim Allen), a space ranger action figure who believes he is a real hero and not a toy. Randy Newman wrote the songs, including the title song of the friendship at the heart of the series, and he has scored all five main films.

The sequels each pick a different worry for the toys. In Toy Story 2 (1999), also directed by Lasseter, a greedy collector named Al McWhiggin steals Woody at a yard sale, and Buzz leads a rescue. Disney and Pixar first planned that film as a direct to video release, and AWN reports that a theatrical release was announced in 1998. Toy Story 3 (2010), directed by Lee Unkrich, finds Andy at 17 and heading to college, with his toys bound for Sunnyside Daycare. Toy Story 4 (2019), directed by Josh Cooley, adds Forky, a toy Bonnie builds from a spork, and brings Bo Peep back. Toy Story 5 (2026), directed by Andrew Stanton, sets the toys against Lilypad, a frog shaped tablet that wins Bonnie's attention.

Lightyear (2022), directed by Angus MacLane, is the spin-off. It follows the space ranger Buzz Lightyear, voiced by Chris Evans, as he and his commander Alisha Hawthorne are stranded on the planet T'Kani Prime, with Michael Giacchino composing the score. Because it sits outside the Woody story, the five main films tell the toys' tale without it.

How many Toy Story movies came out, and when? There are six theatrical films in all, and here is each one's officially confirmed US release date, director and runtime.

The films have also been big earners. Toy Story 5 is the highest grossing at about $1.15 billion worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo, on a $250 million budget, according to The Numbers. Toy Story 3 and Toy Story 4 each took close to $1.07 billion on $200 million budgets (The Numbers confirms the Toy Story 3 figure). Toy Story 2 took about $497 million, Toy Story (1995) about $401 million, and Lightyear about $226 million. Adding those worldwide figures gives roughly $4.4 billion across the six films, and the toy story box office page breaks down domestic and international numbers.
