Toy Story 5 2026

I am...going to be optimistic about this. Considering Pixar hasn't been doing so great business-wise since the pandemic, I would understand if this film was made just for financial security reasons. However, I think from a storytelling perspective, this movie might have already justified its existence if it talks about death and the life cycle of a toy. The Toy Story movies are not about growing up and playing with your toys but are existentialist adventure stories about questioning your purpose throughout various stages of life. Think about it:

* Toy Story 1: It was about reanalyzing your purpose when it turns out it's not what you thought it would be. It is also about the importance of putting friendship and camaraderie over pride and self interest.
* Toy Story 2: Deals with the fear of the inevitable and then deciding what is the best thing to do for yourself and for others.
* Toy Story 3: How do you deal with the inevitable when it finally happens?
* Toy Story 4: How do you get on with the rest of your life after you outlived your purpose and are no longer needed.

At this point, what is left? Death! What memories did you leave behind and what impact did your life make? Those would be fitting themes for this film to tackle. I would like to know other peoples honest thoughts on Toy Story 5. What do you think would be a great place for this franchise to go next?
