Although the franchise has become one of the world’s most beloved animations, people assumed the fourth film would be its last. But lo and behold, the fifth chapter is finally here. Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) and the rest of the gang are back for a brand-new challenge, and it’s modern technology. For those who have already watched the fifth film in theaters, many are already asking for a Toy Story 6.
So, could a sixth movie actually happen, or is the fifth the final one?
Below, News47.us has all the updates so far on a potential sixth Toy Story installment.
Pixar has not confirmed Toy Story 6, but the creative team and most of the cast have expressed a desire to come back for another chapter of Woody, Buzz, Jessie and the gang’s story.
Director and esteemed animator Andrew Stanton spoke with Entertainment Weekly in April 2026 about a potential future storyline for Bonnie and the toys. He actually believed that the fourth film was “the actual perfect place to end the saga.” Luckily, a fifth film was eventually set in motion.
Stanton told the publication that he feels that with just two months of brainstorming ideas, two additional Toy Story movies could be cranked out.
That’s why I feel like it can keep going,” Stanton said.
