Director Andrew Stanton is back and again combines the laughs with real emotion. This is Pixar’s biggest franchise and it knows how to create nostalgia with a modern story about children becoming attached to technology instead of their toys. It leaves Woody, Buzz and Jessie evaluating their own lives.
Visually, Pixar has never been better. Every detail shows animation at its highest execution. Superb. (see other Toy Story story)
It opened to an estimated $312 million worldwide. $160 million was domestic, making it the biggest opening weekend of 2026 and the highest in the Toy Story history. Just five days after release, it made a whopping $200 million domestically. Pixar reportedly spent around $250 million to produce the film before marketing costs.
Reviews have been great, word of mouth strong and school is still letting out.
