I don't even want to think about a Toy Story 5. Toy Story 4 was my least favorite film in the franchise. Then Toy Story 4 came along, doing a fairly decent job of justifying its own existence with another ending in which Woody left the group to live with Bo Peep and a group of toys without owners.

Following Bob Iger's Toy Story 5 announcement, Disney fans are taking to social media to question the necessity of the planned Pixar sequel.

With many people already accusing the last film of being a largely unnecessary addition to the franchise, this announcement probably raises more questions than answers. Taking to social media in droves, viewers who grew up with the original films are questioning the need for another, with many accusing the studio of engaging in a blatant cash grab. Widely praised by critics and earning itself a swathe of award nominations, Toy Story would go on to gross over $374 million in worldwide box office and spawn three direct sequels, as well as last year’s spinoff film Lightyear, featuring Chris Evans as the in-universe fictional character that inspired the toy voiced by Allen.

He said: “I'm so pleased to announce that we have sequels in the works from our animation studios to some of our most popular franchises. We'll have more to ...

To infinity and beyond! To infinity and beyond!” And off we go to a number 5! No cast members have been confirmed for Frozen 3, but stars Idina Menzel and Kristen Bell – who voice lead characters Elsa and Anna – are both expected to return. The service lost nearly 2.5m subscribers in the last three months of 2022, with Disney subsequently announcing it would be cutting 7,000 staff members – around 3 percent of its global workforce. “And off we go to a number 5! We’ll have more to share about these productions soon, but this is a great example of how we’re leaning into our unrivalled brands and franchises.” Also getting a sequel is the 2016 animated buddy cop movie Zootopia. See ya soon Woody, you are a sad strange little man and you have my pity. “See ya soon Woody, you are a sad strange little man and you have my pity,” he said.

Toy Story's Tim Allen reveals that both Buzz Lightyear and Woody will appear in the franchise's fifth installment, which is currently in development.

"But then also the marriage of the outraged voice of mine inside this outraged body of a toy was -- I mean, it was just undeniably great. Allen's return as Buzz also makes it clear that the fifth Toy Story film won't be a sequel to 2022 spinoff Lightyear. Allen later expressed confusion regarding Lightyear's premise and questioned the decision to tell a Toy Story tale that didn't feature both Buzz and Woody. Iger didn't mention whether Toy Story 5 would serve as a direct continuation of the previous four films' narrative, or whether it will chronicle the exploits of a new group of characters. Allen declined to mention how Toy Story 5 will reunite Buzz and Woody, nor did he confirm whether Tom Hanks will reprise the latter role. Buzz and Woody last appeared on the big screen in 2019's Toy Story 4, in which the pair seemingly part ways forever.

In the same announcement, they revealed that sequels for other hit films Frozen and Zootropolis are also in the making.

This could be partly chalked up to a total lack of advertising for the film which went straight to Disney+ rather than having a theatrical release - as critics were generally positive about the movie. To this someone replied: "Greed, is the simple answer. joked one user while others said they could see "potential" for the Frozen and Zootopia universes, they absolutely did not want Toy Story 5. said another, while a third added: "Listen I love Toy story as much as the next person but do we really need a 5th movie??

"Today I'm so pleased to announce that we have sequels in the works from our animation studios to some of our most popular franchises, Toy Story, Frozen and Zootopia," he said. The company has confirmed that Frozen 3, Toy Story 5 and Zootopia 2 are all in development and will be coming to the big screen.

Tim Allen said he will reprise his role as Buzz Lightyear for the upcoming Disney and Pixar film 'Toy Story 5.'

Allen denied the account, which was detailed in a Variety excerpt from Anderson’s memoir, “Love, Pamela.” “There’s really no ‘Toy Story’ Buzz without Woody,” Allen told Extra last year while doing publicity for the release of “Lightyear.” Allen had voiced Buzz since the 1995 release of the first “Toy Story,” Pixar’s debut feature film, and through its three sequels. “In this film, Buzz is the action hero. With the upcoming fifth film of the main franchise, the return of other main characters, such as Woody, voiced by Tom Hanks, is expected.

[We Got This Covered](https://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/disney-announces-frozen-3-zootopia-2-and-toy-story-5-as-part-of-its-upcoming-lineup/) reported that some fans were “of the opinion that sometimes it’s best to leave things alone instead of dragging them out”. Go to the cinema and “chances are you will find at least two sequels, a reboot and a cameo-laden franchise film playing at any given time”, the New York-based site continued. But judging by comments on social media, “fans seem dubious over these planned sequels”, the site added. The company’s first big post-Covid release, sci-fi animation Strange World, “was a box office failure”, Mzimba continued, “so it’s no huge surprise to see these sequels being announced”. Disney hopes the reboots can bring in big bucks, but some critics claim Iger’s return and his reliance on tried-and-tested movie franchises suggest the House of Mouse is running out of ideas. “While this is necessary to address the challenges we’re facing today, I do not make this decision lightly,” Iger reportedly said during a conference call with Wall Street analysts.

After Disney announced Toy Story 5 was in the works, many fans have made their opinion known that they would rather see the franchise left alone.

STOP IT. Michael Balderston is a DC-based entertainment and assistant managing editor for What to Watch, who has previously written about the TV and movies with TV Technology, Awards Circuit and regional publications.

A sequel was discussed immediately after the release of the film. At the time, it was just for fun. To tell you the truth, I thought Toy Story 4 was a great ending to the franchise. It was a surprise to many that a new Toy Story has been officially announced. Frozen was an absolute hit for Disney back in 2013. The movie earned $1.45 billion. So, I’m not so sure what to expect from the new film. It was again presumed that this was going to be the last film. Disney animated projects, especially with starting a new franchise, are proving to be difficult for the company giant. The movie was a major hit for Disney.
