Earlier this year, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced the development of a new “Toy Story” film, along with new sequels to the “Frozen” and “Zootropolis” series, and now Tim Allen has confirmed that it’s him that Tom Hanks were contacted by Disney will make “Toy Story 5”. The revelation clarifies a doubt, indicating that the new film will not be a derivative, but a continuation of the central story.
During an appearance on “The Tonight Show,” the official voice of Buzz Lightyear revealed: “They contacted me and Tom to reprise the roles. They don’t say anything about it… You wonder if four was too many. Will five be too many ?”
Allen further added, “The rumor is that the writer who’s working on it wrote one of the best films in the series and said, ‘If I don’t do it well, I won’t do it.’ That could be a really interesting way to put it all together.” Together.”
It is worth mentioning that “Toy Story 4” was released in theaters in 2019 and was well received by both critics and audiences, grossing over $1 billion at the global box office. The film set the record at the time as the biggest release for an animated film, with a global gross of $244.5 million.
At the time, many fans were worried that a fourth film would ruin Pixar’s perfect ending with “Toy Story 3” (which surpassed $1 billion in ticket sales and won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature ), but that didn’t stop there. confirmed, as “Toy Story 4” was also very well received.
One thing’s for sure: Pixar is looking for a big box office hit, and “Toy Story 5” seems like a logical choice, at least on paper. The studio underperformed at the box office in 2022 with “Lightyear” and recovered only slightly this year with “Elements.”
