Despite the seemingly perfect ending of Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 3 in 2013, huge box office numbers often lead to more movies. Toy Story 3 earned a Best Picture nomination and over $1 billion worldwide, so it wasn’t surprising when Toy Story 4 arrived in 2019. That sequel also won an Oscar and actually surpassed its predecessor, earning over $1.07 billion globally. So, it’s no surprise that Toy Story 5 is coming next summer!
The fourth Toy Story movie ended on a surprising note, with Woody choosing to stay with Bo Peep and start a new life, leaving Buzz Lightyear and the other toys with Bonnie. Now, the next installment is bringing back the beloved voice actors who’ve been with the series for years, and a recent update from one of them has fans feeling very emotional.
Toy Story Fans Saddened by Tim Allen’s Latest Buzz Lightyear Update
Tim Allen, who has famously voiced Buzz Lightyear since the original Toy Story in 1995, recently shared an update on the upcoming sequel. Allen, known for portraying the character in every Toy Story film, TV special, video game, and even theme park attraction, announced on X (formerly Twitter) that he has finished recording his lines for Toy Story 5.
Tim Allen announced on Friday that he’s finished recording his lines for Toy Story 5. He shared that the experience was deeply moving, expressing his affection for the filmmakers and the story, and gratitude for having played Buzz Lightyear for so many years. The news sparked a lot of reactions from fans, with many admitting they’re worried about getting emotionally invested in another Toy Story film, while others celebrated Allen’s long run with the character.
One user shared, ‘I loved watching movies when I was a child, and now I enjoy watching them with my own kids. Thanks!’
Someone else pointed out that while many suggest creating new films, Toy Story remains one of the greatest movie series of all time.
Some people weren’t concerned about the new movie being sad, but were more skeptical about the need for another installment. One user commented that Toy Story 3 had a perfect ending, and another bluntly asked how many characters would die in the new film.
Although many fans thought the story ended with Toy Story 3 in 2013, a new movie, Toy Story 5, is in the works. Director Andrew Stanton, a well-known figure at Pixar, recently explained to Empire that there’s an important thing to remember when considering this next installment.
He explained, “With the third film, that chapter of the story – the ‘Andy years’ – is over. Fans can still enjoy the original trilogy, and they don’t have to watch any more if they don’t want to. But what I’ve always loved about this world is that it acknowledges time passing and things changing. It won’t stay frozen in time.”
Toy Story 5 will be released on June 19, 2026
