Disney and Pixar’s announcement Toy Story 5 was in the works came as something of a shock to some fans. Although the franchise has become one of the world’s most beloved animations, people assumed that the fourth film would be the last. But look, 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 seen the fifth film in theaters, many are already asking about one Toy Story 6.
So could a sixth film actually happen, or is the fifth the last?
Under, Hollywood life has all the updates so far on a potential sixth Toy Story rate.
Will there be one Toy Story 6?
Pixar has not confirmed Toy Story 6but the creative team and most of the cast have expressed a desire to return for another chapter of Woody, Buzz, Jessie and the gang’s story.
Instructor and recognized animator Andrew Stanton spoke with Weekly entertainment in April 2026 about a potential future story for Bonnie and the toys. Indeed, he believed that the fourth film was “the actual perfect place to end the saga.” Fortunately, a fifth film was eventually commissioned.
Stanton told the publication that he feels that with just two months of brainstorming ideas, two more Toy Story movies could be knocked out.
That’s why I feel like it can continue,” Stanton said.
How many Toy Story Will Pixar make movies?
According to filmmaker Stanton, two more films may be in the works, but it depends on the story and the cast’s willingness to reprise their roles. In his EW interview, the voice actor and co-writer predicts he’ll be working on more Pixar movies until he’s “sitting in a rocking chair somewhere. And I’ll always have a strong opinion about this.” Although he couldn’t specify if it meant Toy Storysaid Stanton that this is “probably the best way I can leave my mark at Pixar—to teach others how to do this.”
Based on Stanton’s comments, Toy Story 6 and 7 could happen along the way.
