Toy Story (1995)
It all started in Andy's room when a cowboy doll lost his spot as the favorite toy to a shiny Space Ranger with wings and voice buttons. John Lasseter directed it, and Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Pictures produced it. Toy Story came out in 1995, and it started a new era in CGI animation movies. Even now, the introduction of Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), Bo Peep (Annie Potts), Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head (Don Rickles and Estelle Harris), Rex (Wallace Shawn), Hamm (John Ratzenberger), Slinky Dog (Jim Varney), and more still feels fresh and full of character. The movie gets things going on the main ideas of the series, friendship, loyalty, and life as seen through the eyes of toys.
Toy Story 2 (1999)
A sequel that's even better than the first one in some ways? Toy Story 2 shows that it's possible. With Lasseter at the helm, and with support from Andrew Stanton and Lee Unkrich, the second movie takes a closer look at Woody's history. When he's stolen by a toy collector, he meets Jessie (Joan Cusack), Bullseye, and Stinky Pete. Meanwhile, Buzz and the crew set out on a rescue mission that's both hilarious and thrilling. The film builds on the strong bond between Woody and Buzz, introduces heart-wrenching backstories (yes, that scene with Jessie's past), and shows that the Toy Story universe is much larger than Andy's room alone.
Toy Story 3 (2010)
From the moment you start Toy Story 3, you know it's going to be an emotional ride. Andy's growing up and heading to college, so he's left his toys to wonder about their future. It was directed by Lee Unkrich and features voices like Hanks, Allen, and Cusack, along with newcomers like Lotso (Ned Beatty). The film explores themes of letting go, change, and friendship under pressure. Sunnyside Daycare and its harsh regime, Forky's spiritual predecessor in the concept of 'unintended toys,' and the now-iconic incinerator scene make this a Pixar classic that will leave you teary-eyed. The Toy Story franchise grows up with its audience, delivering a film that feels both nostalgic and grown-up.
Toy Story 4 (2019)
Then comes Toy Story 4, a film no one necessarily expected but one that has plenty to say. Josh Cooley directed the film, which introduces some new characters that are sure to be favorites: Forky (Tony Hale), Ducky and Bunny (Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele), and Duke Caboom (Keanu Reeves). It also shows a different side of Woody. There's also some romantic stuff between Woody and Bo Peep (they're together again), and it makes you think about what it means to be a toy. The setting switches to a vibrant carnival, and the lost toy storyline is seen in a new light. This latest Pixar film feels like a deeper, more personal story, but it's still full of humor and adventure.
Toy Story 5 (2026)
Even though Toy Story 5 hasn't been released yet, it's confirmed that Pixar is working on the next part of this famous story. There isn't a lot of info yet, but people are really hoping for this. I'm curious if we'll be following the new adventures of Buzz. Any idea if Woody will be back? And what about Bonnie's toy collection? One thing's for sure: with the consistent quality of the previous films and the team behind the scenes (including voices like Tom Hanks and Tim Allen), there's a good chance we'll see another mix of humor, heart, and high-stakes toy drama. Hey, make sure your popcorn's ready and your Disney+ subscription's active.
Now, let's talk about why you should watch the Toy Story films in a certain order.
The movies are designed to be watched on their own, but if you watch them in the right order, you'll see how carefully Pixar has developed the characters. Everything in the movie builds on the last thing, from Woody's loyalty to Buzz's self-awareness, from Jessie's introduction to Forky's identity crisis. Watching in order lets you follow Andy and Bonnie's story and also see how your favorite toys grow. The themes get richer, the emotions get deeper, and the adventures get grander. Tips for Your Ultimate Toy Story Movie Marathon Plan your marathon wisely: start early (Toy Story 3 packs a punch, trust us), have themed snacks ready (Pop-Tarts for part 1, candy necklaces for part 4?), and keep tissues handy for at least two films. Watch it with friends who are just as big fans as you are, or show the franchise to someone who's never seen it before. You'll love seeing their reactions during the big moments. If you really want to go all-in, hang some glow-in-the-dark stars, set up a plastic rocket, and transform your living room into Andy's room.
From Pixar Classic to Generational Icon
The Toy Story franchise is more than a collection of films; it's a cultural moment that connects multiple generations. The combination of advanced CGI animation, brilliant voice work, and Pixar's signature emotional storytelling makes this series unique. Whether you remember talking to your toys as a kid or are now moved by Woody's loyalty as an adult, Toy Story continues to resonate. This is perfect for a movie night you won't forget.
