A rumor is spreading on Twitter that Pixar might be making a live-action film, and many people seem to believe it without checking if it’s true. This speculation comes after news about a potential live-action LEGO Movie – a concept many find strange – leading some to think anything is possible. As a result, fans on Twitter are reacting strongly, criticizing Pixar for these supposed plans, even though the whole thing started as a joke.
A rumor spread on Twitter that Pixar was planning a live-action Toy Story remake for 2029, sparking outrage among fans. However, Pixar confirmed the story was false – they never intended to make such a film. The whole thing originated from a fake news post by a parody account.
Pixar Is Not Making a Live-Action Toy Story Movie
The parody Twitter account DiscussingFish shared a picture of Woody and Buzz looking surprised alongside the Pixar logo, claiming a live-action Toy Story remake is in the works and expected in 2029. They linked to a Wall Street Journal article as proof, but the article actually doesn’t mention a Toy Story remake at all. It only talks about Pixar’s need for new, original ideas instead of relying on sequels.

Most people didn’t bother checking the original source because the Wall Street Journal requires a subscription. Instead, they simply believed a post they saw on Twitter. A quick look at the DiscussingFish account reveals it’s a parody page that creates fake news and uses clickbait – and it has over 40,000 followers who enjoy it. However, many people still get angry about the posts without verifying their authenticity, readily believing them and reacting strongly.
STOP PUTTING ANIMATED MOVIES INTO LIVE ACTION REMAKES!!!!!

Fortunately, some people checked with Grok before accepting the information as truth. The AI bot clarified that DiscussingFish is a satirical website, and the article was a joke about potential Pixar sequels and Hollywood’s habit of prioritizing profits.
DiscussingFish points out a Wall Street Journal article detailing Pixar’s upcoming sequels – like Toy Story 5 (2026) and Coco 2 (2029) – and notes the surprising lack of any mention of a live-action Toy Story remake. It highlights how Hollywood is relying heavily on nostalgia, but original stories still stand out. What’s bothering you…?

Pixar is back with a hit! Despite a misleading initial campaign, the new movie Hoppers is proving the studio can still create fantastic original films. It’s received a stellar 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes from both critics and audiences, and is considered ‘Fresh’ and ‘Hot’ on the site. Hoppers also topped the box office charts on its opening weekend, earning an estimated $40 million – Pixar’s biggest opening since Coco in 2017.
